Who says that dieters won't crash and go into bingeing roll? Heh, after 3 months of doing this diet, I have crashed into a weekend of BINGE...and regretting it! I oughta be struck by the South Beach Diet 'heaven' lightning!!!
First sinful binge...Friday, the baby shower...OK I was good, did not eat the whole slice of cake but just a teeny weeny slice, not enough to make me feel bad. Then came dinner time. It was our department dinner (with no boss!) at the Italian restaurant...ooooooooooooh, no stopping Ely! First came the cheese garlic bread, I had a teeny section of it. Then came the seafood, aaahh, bedal, seafood is OK. The worst part is the Triple Flavored chocolate cake with ice cream. Halo...how to refuse like that...had 3 spoonfuls. Balik rumah cursing myself for mencekik.
Second sinful binge...Saturday, Open House at Kak Sarimah's house in Livermore. This is a Singaporean family, first time to their house for raya. Not just is their house lovely, the food...ooooooooooh lala...cannot refuse. Rojak india, satay goreng, nasi himpit, sambal kacang, laksa johor, kueh lopes, popiah pedas...aper lagi? SEMUA aku bedal!!! Yes, semua! I had a huge lunch that when I got home and went to bed, I woke up with the worst heatburn I ever had. Woke the husband up at 2am and asked him to drive me to Walgreen's (drugstore), bought 2 kinds of antacids (one for chewing and the other to swallow). Sakit sangat! Nak buang angin pun boleh siksa camnih!
Third sinful binge...Sunday, Harry Potter Movie. Brought a backpack full of garbage, alah for the kids (and the mom, shhhhhhhh). For me, I brought the shrimp cracker (alah 27 gms of carbs jer for about 20 pieces of crackers). Then the husband bought a bucket full of popcorn, thank goodness with no butter, but had to reach over to the son to TRY his Kettle Corn. Balik rumah, 2nd phase of mencekik the rojak india, from last night. Dinner, just steak. Dessert? Errr, about 10 pieces of the shrimp cracker? Ayoh, so bad...ordered the kids to finish them up for me.
So....Ely had done enough of bingeing. Yup, its the PMS 'oh I so want to eat' time again. But tomorrow, I have to stop. So I have decided to go back to South Beach Diet Phase 1...no fruits and no carbs at all, not even good carbs for 2 weeks, padan muka aku! Now Ely is sitting here typing sambil gigit jari...of GUILT...GUILT GUILT!!!!!!!
Next week, the water retention will start, the perut kembung will start and the monthly 'bitch devil' will start coming. Noooooooooooooooooo...

Ada petua untuk buang angin. Amik duit syiling 20sen dan celup dalam minyak kelapa, minyak sawit n minyak apa2 pun boleh asalkan bukan minyak angin. Then kita gesekkan syiling tu ke bahagian yg kita rasakan sakit sampai jadi merah mcm terbit darah. Insyaallah akan rasa lega. Saya kalu heartburn jer mesti guna cara ni.
Wah!...berdiet sakan?...relax le...Auntie rasa berat Auntie dah turun. Kain-kain yang dulunya rasa sendat dah macam ok...:-)
Ya its not easy to fight the desire to eat, especially during hari raya season...don't care lah...just belasah!!! ha!! ha!
tengok all the photos..who can resist????
Hahahaha!
Ok,ok. Don't mean to laugh at a "teman seperjuangan". Heheh! I'm laughing WITH you lah, not AT you... I SO know what you mean! Sunday was torture for me too, I totally caved in. Makan Nasi Ayam, Kebab Udang, Roast Potatoes, Keropok Ikan, Fried Prawn Rolls, Fruit Cocktail WITH cheese AND ice cream! Habis diet aku!! Muahahahah!Then when I arrived home, some "kind" soul had sent over some Tandoori Chicken, so I pun bedal jugak laaaah. (Oh yes! Still had space!)
