In all my almost 40 years, I have never followed a diet plan. I have successfully lost weight by monitoring what I eat and working out. I never joined Weight Watchers or tried a fad diet. So why not start now, right? I mean you only live once and in that time experiencing one fad diet can’t hurt. Besides, I have never been so intent to lose weight. Or is it desperate? The line is blurred and I have no idea what is driving me more. I am on a quest to lose at least 30 pounds. After one knee injury that put me out for almost a year and one ankle injury that put me out for six months, I think I can finally challenge myself to lose the excess weight. To kick this off, I have engaged in a three day diet.
I know, I know, I am shamelessly trying a fad diet. Some call it the 3 Day Military Diet, some call it the Cleveland Clinic Diet, some call it the 3 Day Detox Diet and still there are more names and variations based on a get thin quick scheme. My involvement begs the question; why partake in a diet already known to be a scheme? The answer is simple; a friend challenged me to give it a try. No double dogs necessary, when a challenge arises and I am feeling motivated, I think it through and if my mood is just right I answer the call. It just so happened I was in the right mood having just purchased a pair of jeans in a size too large to mention.
So tomorrow, I begin a quick three day boost to get myself back on track. Getting on track with a diet I have little faith in sounds a bit silly, right? That quirky way is how I roll!
