Fatty 1 – On vacation.

Well, I appear to be on bit of a diet break for the past week.  It’s not so much that I was drawn to eating bad foods by the seductive nature of the bad foods themselves.  It is more that I got tired of cooking healthy food, and tired of planning my days worth of food in advance, and packing up tomorrow’s breakfast,lunch, and snacks the night before.

Laziness got me, not food cravings.  The urge to lay around on the couch and have my food delivered to me in a box, sliced into pie shaped wedges, that could be eaten with little effort and no pots and pans to clean.  Or the enjoyment of going out, deciding right then and there, what you are in the mood for, and then having someone bring that too you.

I need to win the lottery so I can have a personal chef.  Someone who will shop and cook for me.  I’ll eat the healthy stuff.  Why even today I had a salad and vegetable soup for lunch.  My lunch was 90% vegetables and I ate them voluntarily.  Why? Because I could go down to the cafeteria at work and grab some tongs and throw some salad greens on my plate, and scoop a bowl of soup out of the pot.  Two minutes and I had a meal.

Unfortunately the cafeteria at my job isn’t always so healthy and appetizing as it was today.  Today, the vegetables actually looked to be the tastiest thing on the menu, so that’s what I ate.  Yesterday it was pizza for lunch, and then hamburgers on the way home.  Too often it is the unhealthy food that is the easiest to procure.

I know, whine, whine, whine.  I’ll get over it.

So, I’ve had my week off.  The weekend is coming and I will go and buy food for the week, and make my lunches in advance. I will be good and get back on my plan again.  I will look at the fact that I was good for 4 consecutive weeks, and not let my week off permanently derail me.  I will start again, and try to make it 5 consecutive weeks this time.
