Honourable defeat
6 September 2004 20:30There comes a time in the life of any right-thinking adult when they realize that dieting is not for them, or that a particular diet is not for them at any rate.
After three days of Dr Bastard's starvation menu, we have conceded that there is no way we can continue to have raw broccolli and wan tasteless vegetable stock every morning and night, interrupting them only with hot lemon water and cold, flaccid omlettes that taste like damp, slightly scorched flannel. We will continue to eat sensibly between now and the wedding but we can't afford the constant lethargy and low energy levels that the diet in question appeared to require. We are going to America directly after the wedding, so it's not like we won't put any weight we have lost straight back on anyways.
In three days I managed to lose two pounds and the will to live.
On Saturday we spent an hour or so traipsing round town in search of nail varnish to match Lou's dress. Sunday night she sliced half of the nail off her index finger cutting up vegetables to make more pallid watery stock. There is no justice in the world.
