Getting and Staying Healthy After Fifty

Drank juice, ate, and now I’m ready for bed. I don’t know even how to get a decent post out of this, except to say that it’s boring.

I never had to diet when I was younger, and I didn’t understand why people quit diets when it was obvious they desperately needed to lose weight. I don’t desperately need to lose weight, but it would be nice to not be overweight.

I do, however, now understand why people give up on diets. They are boring. The same foods, the same way, day in and day out. It’s enough to make you want to rush down to Mickey D’s and grab a triple cheeseburger and large fries, and top it off with a sundae!

On the Master Cleanse, I cheated because I was hungry. Now I just want to cheat because I’m sick to death of not having anything decent to eat. Do you think it would work if I dieted 6 days a week, and ate anything I wanted one day? Surely, you can’t undo a week’s worth of dieting in one day. I mean, I’m not going to go buy $30 worth of junk food and scarf it all day. I’d just like to have one hamburger, or one steak, or one baked potato with butter AND sour cream.

I’m human. I want human food! And right now, I’m very, very sleepy, so I’ll think about this tomorrow.
