Why KG would rather walk
A few days back, I decided, I needed to shed a few pounds. But I was in a hurry. I still haven't figured out this trait of mine. why am I in a hurry to conquer this world? All that I need, and want to do, has to be NOW. I need an Ipod NOW, I need to have a cheesecake NOW, I want to see Ma NOW, I want to lose weight NOW. Now, that was not possible. But Dippy had embarked upon the very popular GM diet and apparently lost more weight. I emphasise on 'more' because I haven’t seen an extra ounce of weight on any part of Dippy's body. She is as sexy and fit as a girl would dream to be. But she found fat somewhere, and burnt it, in one week. Exciting! So, I decided to give it a try too.
Imagine, just a week, and out comes a slim and sexy KG. Besides, the husband will be glad too. But honestly, the diet was more of a mind game for me than a game of shedding weight. I wanted to see if I could hold ground, and complete the diet, without giving in to Satan's temptation, that comes in a round shape with a hole in the middle. They are also called doughnuts. So I began the sojourn, with a refrigerator stocked with all that was prescribed. But I lost. On day 5, at 4.30 pm, I headed straight to the fridge and opened that box of Doughnuts and had, one after another- two full sugary cinnamony doughnuts. And like that was not sin enough, I opened the cupboard above the fridge and took out Haldiram's Murukku. Mechanically I ate. Then mailed Dippy, a self defamatory, soppy email, telling her , I was rather useless. Next call was harder- it was to the husband. He had been a big support (because I had asked him to be and he showed such keen interest, I knew he really wanted me to shape up)- he hadn't eaten well all through those 5 days- because I had declined to cook, what with all the excessive veggie and fruit chopping I had to do, to keep my stomach full. And he had ensured I didn't give up at all. So while he made me cook prawn curry and dosa for his friend and him, he convinced me, I would love fruit salad, in a manner that told me- if you can't do this much, you can't do much. So, when I finally told him, he guffawed, mercilessly.
That episode is over. Oh, and i did lose 2.5 kgs in 5 days. But the tragedy was, I had lost the battle with my mind.
And then I embarked upon this walk. Allow me to take you through this:

Sigh! After this walk, I knew what it meant to be one with the nature. And while I enjoyed my Ipod and walked by this beautiful bay, I burnt some flab too.
Know what, this is a classic case of – ‘Those grapes are sour.’

but once many years ago i tried the GM diet and ran it for a full 6.5 days of the 7 day duration. last day evening i had a oficce do and let go. but let me tell u GM diet does wonders.. i lost aboyt 3 kgs in that loop..i wish i cud do it again and again.but again the world has so much chocolates that needs to be devoured. so GM can wait for another day.......
GM does wonders for sure. I have been trying to do it for years now, and its a great detox diet too. Anyway, like u said, there are way too many chocolates and cheesecakes waiting to be consumed. Lets work for a cause and get to work:).
@pleasantone: whatever u think up, ensure u have chocolates, doughnuts and chicken biriyani in the scheme of things u are drawing up.
viva donuts!
