Getting and Staying Healthy After Fifty

It’s bad enough when you suffer from depression anyway, but what is the simple act of trying to lose weight makes you even more depressed? Can doing something that is good for you bring you down? I’m here to tell you, yes it can.

My friends wanted me to go to the local Chinese buffet with them tonight. They were going to pay. I love that buffet. It has all-you-can-eat crablegs, boiled, fried, and coconut shrimp. For a seafood lover like me, it’s pure heaven! I don’t even eat veggies, I just eat the seafood.

I couldn’t go, because I’m on this stupid diet. They promised to take me when I got off of it, but that’s not the point. The point is, I’ve had a horrendous day and I want to go eat seafood! If I do, I literally will have to drink water for three days to make up for it. That’s how much I eat when I go to this buffet. Add to that that seafood is loaded with cholesterol…well, you get my point.

This is depressing. VERY depressing. I’ve only been dieting for a couple of weeks, and I’m already getting sick to death of it. There has to be a better way to lose weight. I know, more exercise. That just isn’t going to happen.

Maybe I should just consign myself to being fat, like my mother finally did. She wasn’t so unhappy. Yeah, maybe that’s the answer.
