DAY 7: FRIDAY
27.2.2015
An important dieting tip: a buffet lunch during a diet
session is a bad idea.
Since I had made this commitment before I started dieting, I
went ahead with it. But I knew there was no way I could have a diet meal portion
with a buffet lunch. Even though I took a small spoonful of some of the items,
the total quantity I ate was equal to what I had eaten altogether in the past 4
days, without exaggeration. My week’s diet unraveled on that plate. I went
back to mindless eating in the face of all that food laid out ready to eat. I ate
it even though it was nothing spectacular. (Ok, the breaded deep fried prawns
were good, which must explain why I ate so many of them.)
For the rest of the day I had 2 cups of green tea and a few
bites for dinner, because I don’t believe in sleeping on an empty stomach.
After brunch I went to visit a friend. Her house is booby
trapped with junk food. Every nook and corner, every crack and crevice every
cushion you turn or pillow you lie on has some junk food lying surreptitiously
in wait for you to succumb to it. After
the ignominy of the brunch, I had just a few chips.
Junk Food Trap laid out in every direction:

Today I did an hour of medium-paced rowing to work off the
deep-fried prawns.
Since I will be spending most of the day out of home, I have packed whatever food I can to eat on the go so that I don't have to eat junk in a food emergency, which is making me feel like both a baby and a very senior citizen.
