10 Reasons Why You Shouldn\'t Diet

10 Reasons why you shouldn’t diet (from an ex dieter)

1. You will turn into a complete psycho. It stands to reason really. If you suddenly start to tell your body it can no long have any amount of crap at any time of the day (or night – midnight feasts DO exist) you’re body and mind has every right to turn on you
2. You are no fun to go to dinner with.
You: ‘Oh I’ll just have the starter salad as main course and a glass of water’.
Your dining partner if they have any sense will ignore your pitiful order and will dive in with: ’I’ll have a large steak, medium rare, large chips, fried mushrooms & onions with a side order of the giant mash with lashings of butter please, and do you have any high fat beverages?’
3. You never ever achieve your goal
4. If you do achieve your goal you ALWAYS put the weight back on
5. Your bum never actually looks any better (or worse for that matter)
6. The dress you bought in size 6 because it was in the sale is STILL not going to fit you. Reality check: you were never a size 6, even when you were a child.
7. You no longer drink, and you are that sober person in the bar who everyone stays away from because you can re-tell an embarrassing tale from the night before with scary accuracy, and without you being listed as part of the scary embarrassing story. Nobody likes that. Nobody.
8. You no longer shop, because you’re waiting to lose weight. Snore.
9. Conversations are now always ABOUT food, rather than being discussed OVER food.
10. Do you really need a 10th reason? Do you? Just quit it, and get stuck into the cookie jar. You will be so much the happier for it. And frankly, so will everyone else.
