I get a lot of interesting ads on the borders of the sites I read online. Makes me realize that somebody out there really does keep track of those marketing cookies. Since I frequent diet web sites I am inundated with ads for the latest greatest diet to come on the market.
Today I saw that there is a new contender called the Great Cookie Diet. Hey, I already developed that one. Did a lot of research into it too. It didn't work but I might be tempted to try that one again. I also see that there is The Personality Diet. Ha, that's what got me into this predicament in the first place!
These days a lot of diets are regional. I wonder if you need to live in the area to partake of the Sonoma Diet or the South Beach Diet. (And does the south end of any beach do?) Do you have to speak a foreign language to get started in the French Women Don't Get Fat Diet?
Some diets have misleading names. Take the Mayo Clinic Diet. Sadly it does not promote the abundance of mayonnaise in it's recipes. And the Three Hour Diet? Don't ya just bet it only lasts three hours. Sure. I had to laugh at the one called You-- On a Diet. Like that's new? I've been doing this for forty years. Have you heard about The Cheater's Diet? Hmm, do you succeed on that one by staying on it or getting off of it?
It nice to get a laugh out of diets for a change. The reality of eat less move more is not nearly as fun or colorful. But, it's the one I'm sticking with. Oh yeah, Robin's checkin' into reality.

Checking into reality, I like that one but it is awfully difficult sometimes. Eat less move more, that sounds like the best. So many diets, so many people. If it works for some surely it can't work for all. Gods plan will work, he knows where you need to be and can give you that drive. It appears that you have arrived. His hand will be the one to hold when you feel weak. But call out if you need it as we can also be called, Gods Hands. Love you.
ReplyDeleteI just started reading your blog. You are a good writer. Eat less move more....sounds so simple, but so difficult. Just like the doctor telling me I need to have more cardio exercise. She said "Just 20 min twicw a week" Well, that was a few yars ago. I always start with good intentions...and then somehow it only lasts about two weeks. I like the part about not giving up. So I think I will go to the gym next week and try starting again.
ReplyDeleteKnow that we are here cheering you on. I think you are a very brave person to do this whole blog thing.
Yes, God's plans work and He knows where you need to be, and He is able to help you along the way. I think all of our life is a journey. So often I just want to "Arrive". But that isn't the way it is. Keep going.
