Bitter post: Regular Yum and Spaghetti




I know. I know.  I’ve been promising to keep up with this blog time and time again but I have failed each time.  Today, I will no longer say that I’ll write and update this, I’ll just do my best.   Also, I just wanted to find an avenue where I can vent out all of these crazy thoughts I have today.
I am losing my mind thinking about food!  Really.  My brain has literally gone berserk passing by one restaurant after the other and thinking how much food I am not allowed to eat.  Just to give you an update, I am on the Cohen Diet.  I started this month – October 3 to be specific.  So right now I’m on my third week.
For those of you who are not very aware of this diet, you actually need enroll to the program (with a premium) and the centre will guide you on your journey to achieving your goal weight.  I started with 106.3 kilograms.  Yes, I am that heavy.  Hence, I decided to enlist to the program.
First, I had my full blood exam taken (which surprised me since everything else was normal except for my blood sugar).  Then, they assessed my results and created a personalized eating plan just for me - making me feel extremely special.  <3
So for the last two weeks I have mastered the art of cooking with herbs like oregano, tarragon, basil, turmeric and your friendly-neighborhood black pepper, to make my food tasty enough.  I have also learned to love Rica’s (the restaurant in Henry Hotel) because it has become my go-to-place every time I feel so deprived.  Overall, even if for the most part it is very challenging, the inches off my clothes make it very rewarding (most of the time).

Yet today is different.  Today, I really just want to cry and sleep and wallow at how miserable I feel.  I want to eat J. Co Donuts.  I want to eat Pizza.  I want to eat the Regular Yum and Spaghetti from Jollibee that was served during this morning’s leaders training.  It was freeee!!!! AND I COULDN’T EAT IT.  Huhuhuhuhuhuhu  I had to eat my apples while the aroma of beef and pasta infiltrated the training room.  Why this miserable life? LOL.


Right now, I’m writing this post while waiting for my next meeting.  I have a terribly busy daily schedule and I convinced myself that I can incorporate my diet into it.  Have I been successful?  Actually, I haven’t cheated since the start.  So today I will post this to make sure I don’t get to cheat in the next few hours, or God forbid the next few minutes.
Note to self: I don’t like Donuts.  Donuts are not yummy.  Regular Yum has a stinky beefy aftertaste and the Jollibee Spaghetti has weird tasting hotdogs.
‘Til the next rant.
 P.S.  My agents have arrived and they're ordering and eating all the stuff I'm not supposed to eat so that they can enjoy what I cannot.  I hope this strategy works.  It's like paying forward.  They want to help me so they will eat on my behalf.
