The Veggie Fruit Combo Diet

Blended between an apple and a pineapple, I feel fruitful. I juiced all day and into the night, when I decided (yes, the night time diet decision, that's sure to cost you your morning) that if I can eat raw fruits and vegetables- surely I can eat them boiled. My reasoning's have yet to win me happiness, but anyways- I ended up eating blended veggies. I told myself it was because I am nursing mother. I tell myself a lot of things lately.

The first of them being that I will lose my weight. That I will lose it at ten pound intervals instead of one massive 90lb drop. I tell myself that I will be rewarded with each 10lbs down. Because G-d knows weight loss alone hasn't been a powerful enough reward for me.

I tell myself I will lose weight, fit into couture, smirk at my old ways, and have a bag of cut up carrots on me at all times. That my finger will soon be able to wear my engagement ring. Or take it off. It doesn't matter. As long as its my choice to take them off and not done with a jewelers scissor held that close to my skin. I tell myself I will even have to make time for a manicure then.

I DO NOT tell myself that the fruit and veggie diet makes me worry. That Fit For Life forbids mixing fruits and veggies. That over eaters anonymous only allows one fruit and only in the morning. That Atkins allows none. And I never worry about the horrible, but healthy fats found in avocados.

I tell myself none of this, because its only day one.
