"...I stopped going to Fred Segal and getting the one thing in the whole store that fit me. I started buying clothes that fucking fit me, like now. I put away all notions of what diets meant to me, what I was supposed to eat and not supposed to eat. I altogether lost the thought process that carried me through my life - my dieting and exercise regimen - and started thinking about the people I loved, hated, tolerated, laughed at, laughed with....
I never deny myself a fucking thing because I have denied myself enough for 1000 lifetimes and there is no more denial for me in the way that I live. I deserve all the mozzarella sticks, all the fucking chocolate, all the fucking pizza, all the chicken a'la king, and I deserve to leave what I don't finish on the plate.
So there you go. Big secret diet. Love. Love and the audacity to actually waste food." from the "Fuck It" Diet
There's a lot of sensible stuff tossed in there between the expletives. :) I realized years ago that, no matter what I do - exercise a lot or a little, eat pizza & chocolate or just salad - my weight & body size stay pretty much the same. Let's hear it for European peasant stock & good baby-bearing hips. So, while I try to use wisdom & eat lower on the food chain, I refuse to let food become my obsession. Life is too short.
