WAIT to NO WEIGHT

There are times when your own mirror begins to repel you. It may or may not be your fault, but the very idea of having that perfect reflection sometimes brings inspiration and sometimes shame. They say looks don't matter. They even say that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, but in reality, my 25 years of experience says, 'No' it doesn't stay in the eyes. A so-called 'not-so-beautiful' girl or an overweight one in many cases gets picked last in the prom, she gets least amount of proposals and she is the one who usually believes in the idiotic idiom 'beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder'.
I am not ashamed to admit that I have been this girl. All through school, until I wore specs, was plump, tied my hair in a pony tail and well was short in height (something I have to live with), the supposedly beautiful girls and the hero boys that they once were, never took much notice of me. Cut two my college scene - I lost some weight (just 2 kgs to be precise), opened up my hair, rested my specs and wore contact lenses and just like everyone else, got into a decent pair of jeans and a top. What happened next was beyond my belief, I was crowned miss fresher. After some eight years of that beautiful memory, I am at a stage where my mirror does not repel me. I am no longer in the 'fat' category but as per the gifted genes I have, I still need to reduce some weight. Now, with the over-exhaustive schedule I am living, gymming is not a considerable option. So here comes the oh-so-talked-about diet plan which I am not sure I can follow that religiously, but since it has helped several people, it could work at least half of its wonders on me as well.... Here is the popular GM diet plan...

During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol. You must drink 10 glasses of water each day.

Day One: All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

Day Two: All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.

Day Three: A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.

Day Four: Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.

Day Five: Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

Day Six: Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.

Day Seven: Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.


Not sure if I would be able to follow it, but I guess, now I have to... I have to.
