Diets...

Okay, let's discuss diets. My friend and co-worker, Malissa, is on this Flat Belly Diet. I had never heard of this diet before until she began talking about it. So...this is her first week. Yesterday for lunch she had to eat an entire pint of grape tomatoes, some plain deli turkey, and some special water called "sassy" water (I am not joking) which has cucumber, ginger, and mint leaves in it. GROSS! So...as of this morning (after 1 full day on the diet) she has lost 1.5 lbs!! Yeah, Malissa! Lots of sacrifice and weird eating though - apparently you do NO crunches on this diet, yet you get a flat belly. And, the first four days are the worst - hence why she was eating a pint of grape tomatoes...

I have been pretty thin my entire life - my family has pretty good genes, I think, but it seems like lately I have been having a harder time keeping my weight at a controllable level. It seems like used to, I would eat like crazy one day (chili cheese fries from Longhorn are my favorite....or homestyle chicken from Cracker Barrel) and then could eat hardly anything the next day and balance out. But now, it seems like that plan is no longer working as efficiently. For a couple of months now, I have weighed a few pounds more. I do not know what this is about, but I do not appreciate it. So...today I've eaten strawberries, yogurt, and a 100 calorie pack of some ritz cracker business. It was good, but I am ready for more food! Landon and I are going to Publix in a little bit to buy some groceries and get something for dinner. Hopefully, I will not eat like a maniac and mess the good eating day up. We shall see. I have really digressed because I was trying to focus on thoughts about the Flat Belly Diet - has anyone heard of this? Has anyone had good results?? I will keep you posted on my friend Malissa's progress. GO MALISSA! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
