10 reasons why I can't diet:

1. potato chips
2. sour gummi worms
3. really fatty savoury biscuits, like Shapes
4. cakey things
5. chocolate, in its many forms
6. cheese
7. pastry
8. hot chocolate and marshmallows
9. cream
10. my complete inability to eat sensible portions of any of the above

Due partly to my secretary's bid to lose weight, and a dream I had which involved my mother screaming at me that I was completely overweight and disgusting, I've been thinking about dieting. And when I mean diet, I mean trying to reduce the amount of sugar and fat that I consume, as opposed to only eating carrots, or some similarly crazy scheme.

I'm attracted by the low GI thing, partly because my breakfast of muesli and a banana is fairly low GI anyway, and therefore I only have two meals to actually make changes to. Essentially, it seems to be about eating more grains, brown rice, multigrain bread, and so on. I can do that.

My motivation this week whenever I feel the afternoon urge for a sugar hit in the form of sour gummi worms is DreamMum looking disgusted with me. I'll be good, DreamMum! Don't glare!

I must have been living under a rock until recent times, because I've only just discovered this amazing woman. I've been enjoying myself immensely reading through her archives, with the only downside being the terrible mood they tend to induce, of the "god, the world is so fucked, I want to destroy the patriarchy! Destroy!" variety.
