I’m on a diet. Diets make me hungry. Being hungry makes me cranky. I am fitting into my size 6 shorts again. Size 6 shorts make me happy. Why am I talking typing this way? Like I’m someone with only rudimentary language skills? Yes…I just threw in rudimentary in order to prove that my level of intelligence is at least above that of a Neanderthal.
Anyway…back to me and the fact that I’m starving myself. I am not a proponent of “diets.” I tend to gravitate more toward the “mostly healthy, all in moderation” school of thought. Until just before we moved. For about two months I ate. I mean I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted and in any amount that I wanted. I’m vaguely aware that this may mean I have some underlying food addiction. Eh…whatever. In any case, all this crazy eating caused me, you guessed it, to gain weight. Duh.
Well, in addition to making me hungry, which makes me cranky, being on a diet also makes me set out in crazed searches for healthy alternatives to the not so healthy foods that I tend to love. Like cookies, and frosting, and cake…oh…and ice cream. Let’s just say I have a tendency to mow down some sweets like nobody’s bidness. Mmmkay?
So…it’s with great excitement and anticipation that I say…I got a Vitamix today! Not only that, but over the course of the last week, some very unusual ingredients have been making their way across the threshold of my home. Things like almond flour, raw, organic cocoa butter, raw, organic cocoa powder, coconut butter and Stevia in the raw. Soon to make an appearance is flax seed meal. I’m on a mission to bake up some scrumptious treats that NOBODY would ever guess are good for you. Just as soon as I shed a few more pounds. And of course, I will happily share my delights and the recipes that I find worth sharing
