Diets ask us: How much do you hate being fat?
This is the silent question my diet (Nutrisystem) asks me every hour of every day of my weight loss quest!
Do I hate being fat and clumsy more than I hate tiny portions of food? Do I hate it more than plunging into my (unheated) pool every day and getting used to the water? Do I hate my fat more than I love eating whatever I want impulsively? Do I hate my excess weight more than I hate arguing with people who are determined to get me to eat something I shouldn't "because it's Jane's birthday and Aunt Wilma's made it from her special recipe and we're ALL having a piece"?
Sigh. So far, after just over 3 months of asking and answering this question...I've lost 18 lbs...with a whole lot more to go.
