    Healthy Diet Failures

    I don't normally make New Year's resolutions. In fact, this year I've actually made an anti-New Year's resolution and cancelled my gym membership. I've always found going to the gym a chore but finding it packed to the rafters with people on a New Year's fitness fad, I can't get on to any of my instruments of torture when I want to and getting changed in the locker room is like a game of Twister.

    That said, I do need to go on a bit of a detox - particularly paying attention to what I eat - my insides took a right Royal battering over Christmas!

    Of course, it won't last because events will unfold exactly the same as they do every year. The sequence of events normally starts with me thinking that I need to eat less processed food, less meat, fewer fatty things and more fruit and veg and then, over a short period of time, this thought process gets refined into me thinking I am going to cut out meat altogether and eat nothing but organic produce. And therein lies the problem as I will inevitably be led to the local health food shop. Now, this isn't Holland and Barratt by any means but a real sandal lover's panoply of soya derivatives and enough fibre packing wholemeal fayre to glue your ribs together for a lifetime with plenty of herbal infusions thrown in for good measure.

    And I will duly buy enough to last me a week. And by the end of that week I will be completely and utterly sick to the back teeth of it and find myself in Barnacle Bill's ordering double haddock and chips to counteract the comfort food deficit I've accumulated over the preceding week. It's about all the dreary wholesomeness I can take....

    Buy a bicycle, ride to the gym (fast), work out, ride home. Repeat a few times a week. Eat the fish and chips if that's what you like.

      I have tried to start eating healthy, lots of fresh fruit and veg and cut down on the sugary drinks and fatty foods

      I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

        I've cut down on erm, uh, nothing really. Oh yes, Fruit Tellas. (because the machine at clientco's out of action)

                Healthy eating to that level is not sustainable for most. Mich's regime will allow you to keep your weight stable while eating as you like but if you want to lose weight you need to go more extreme... eat normal healthy food in sensible portions or do a lot of exercise EVERY day.

                  Stop. Snacking.
                  If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
