"nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

... or so i've been told. normally, i'd respond to such an absurd statement with something like, "i can think of a hundred things that taste better," or "skinny doesn't taste like anything ... which is why i eat" or some other snide comment. and by saying that,  i'm not alluding  to an "addiction" or even an “unhealthy” relationship with food – i’m just saying i’ve finally reached a point where i can admit i’ve made excuses which has resulted in me being overall unhappy with my weight.

so, in an effort to become more happy and healthy, i started a completely ridiculous over-the-top diet – obviously. this diet consists of a strict regimen alternating between veggies/fruits and dairy. and by “dairy” i mean 20ounces of whole milk and/or whole milk yogurt: no cheese. no cottage cheese. no sour cream. no fruit-on-the-bottom delicious (packed with sugar) yogurty-goodness. i know what you’re thinking – i must be hungry. and, yes, in fact i am. i dreamt about a bowl of pasta last night. a steaming bowl of pasta tossed with butter, garlic and parmesan.

i digress. i’ve decided now – more than ever – to make my health and weight a priority for a number of reasons. most notably:
  • i’m sick of making excuses and putting off losing weight. therefore, in addition to my recent career change, i’ve decided to make an overall lifestyle change … all have been affirmed by the universe via daily oms (http://dailyom.com/).
  • because i literally waste hundreds – if not thousands – of dollars a year on going out to eat and that needs to stop.
  • my sister’s wedding is rapidly approaching and even if the marriage doesn’t last – the pictures will.

anyways. the point of all this is because i will have to become more conscientious about what i am eating, i am going to be more conscientious about my food-blogging. i will use this as a platform to discuss new  healthy vegetarian recipes, track my progress and to complain about how hungry i am – but only sometimes.
