feeling: still hungry
listening to: Escaflowne - Cat's Delicacy >^.^<

Update. Well, possible one, anyway. I'm thinking of just not even going any further with this no-carb diet. And no, it's not for lack of willpower - which, believe me, came as enough of a shock to me in and of itself. :P No... I thought my parents would be helpful, but they've been more critical and skeptical than anything. And dad, who told me about this diet and how he knows people it's really worked for, now seems to think I'm a complete ninny for even considering it. Guess I should've taken the hint when I first told him I was going to try it and he laughed in my face... But, you know, the more I think about it, the more impractical I think this diet really is. It is, after all, a fad diet... it erases from your life some really essential nutrients, not just carbs; also, most of the stuff you ARE allowed to indulge in are packed with cholesterol. And after all that, it only really works for a month or two, tops. It only works longer if you're butt-tight about keeping it up for a loooong time, probably a lifetime. Which could totally rob you of essential nutrients and load your veins up till they explode. And after 2 days, I'm already sick and tired of having only about 4% of the food in this house being low-carb enough for me to eat. I'm also sure my parents are already sick of cooking and shopping around me, and I know this thing's gonna be next to impossible to stick with once I move back to campus in just over a week. And with Easter and the possibility of one of my beloved family holiday cookouts coming up soon... I just don't think I can stick with this. And even if I did, like I said, I don't think it's the healthiest option in the long run. That goes double for me, since my mom's side of the family has a bad history with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and... well, I've been there already.

Sooo, I'm thinking of just ditching the fad diet and going on a real, long-term diet. It might be slower-acting, but it'll be FAR easier to make last for more than a week and it's a lot more practical. Cause I can eat all the healthy stuff that this no-carb diet robs me of, like fruit, dairy, and pasta, and I can still cut way down on chips, sweet, and caffeine, without removing them from my life 100%. Cause sugar and sodium (salt) are, after all, essential nutrients. Just better in smaller amounts than, say, vitamin C and calcium. And I know it'd be easier cause my mom's been doing it for years since some of those genetic blood pressure and cholesterol problems are taking their toll on her... so the house is already pretty well stocked with stuff for her kind of diet. And, of course, it's the only kind of diet my dad is really supportive of, as I've learned since I started this no-carb one.

So my problem is, do I drop this fad diet and move to the long-term one NOW, or do I give the carbless life a few more days? Try to stick to it at least till I move back to school and then just go vegetarian-and-fish, or just not load my body with cholesterol any longer? It's proving to be a major pain already, with availability of carb-free stuff (or lack thereof) and my parents' criticism, and of course the long-term effects. Though, of course, no diet is truly effective unless you commit just as firmly to some kind of exercise routine, even one as simple as walking for half an hour a day. That I can handle, especially as it gets nicer outside. It's fun walking around aimlessly on the biggest college campus in the nation. ^^ Once I did it for a good part of an afternoon, and it happened to be just after a home football game ended, which meant I spent most of the time walking in the opposite direction of the thousands upon thousands of people pouring out of the stadium. It was pretty surreal. X3

Anyway... yes. That is my dilemma. Wait a few more days, or just change my life starting tomorrow. I'm leaning toward tomorrow, personally... for all the reasons I've already mentioned, mostly the inavailability one. And the one about what happens when I return to campus. I can cut down on junk, but I can't totally eliminate sugar, caffeine, pasta, bread, fruit, and the like from my life. Just isn't healthy.

Ok, there. I decided. Starting tomorrow, I say hello to carbohydrates again. In reasonable amounts, of course. And I hereby limit my chip and chocolate intake to... well, infrequent. And increase my salad/veggie intake, and maybe even start eating breakfast again. *gasp* If I can haul my butt out of bed early enough to, that is...
