Health, Food and Diets: This is a low

This is a low

Today, I hit a new low in my diet. There was a danish sitting on the table in the break room at work, and I wanted it. At the end of day, one of the guys threw it into the dumpster. Guess who just ate a dumpster danish. FML

Today, a coworker threw my lunch in the trash. They'd just got back from holidays, and I use the same containers they do. My leftovers "looked like something they'd eat", so they thought it was something they'd forgotten before going on holidays. It was leftovers that I'd been spacing out, trying to make last till payday. FML

Today, I hit a new low when I caught myself eating the chocolates that were meant to be part of my boyfriend's Christmas presents. FML

Today, I realized the person I had been habitually stealing bag lunches from at work made me a canned dog food sandwich. FML

Today, I decided I would eat healthy in order to lose weight. Feeling powerful, I threw away all of the icecream in my freezer. An hour later, I picked the icecream carton out of the garbage and ate the entire half-melted carton. FML

Today, feeling too lazy to cook dinner, I bought a bagged salad from a low-end store. I dumped the contents into a bowl; the first thing that fell out was a dead mouse. Bon appetit. FML

Today, to keep me from "getting fatter", my roommate raided the kitchen. She ate everything from cookies and ice cream to deli meat. The only thing left in the house are vegetables. FML

Today, while on break from work, I went to the cafeteria and bought cheese cubes. One of my coworkers, who is usually very pleasant, asked to try some and I said yes. She ate all the cheddar cubes in the bowl, which are the only ones I like. I wasted $3 for someone else to eat my food. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I started our diet. After a long day of being held accountable for every calorie I ate, I went home to sneak a snack. My boyfriend came over to surprise me, and found me on the couch shoveling left-over Indian food into my mouth. FML

Today, I was changing the garbage at a local fast food place where I work. Being a rather short guy, I had to lean back and fling the full, heavy bag at the top. I did so with such force that my head hit the dumpster, knocking me out. FML

Today, I had my new Blackberry Curve sitting on my lunch tray. Unthinkingly, i tossed it into the garbage can. 10 minutes later i realized I had thrown it away and spent the next hour searching through six garbage cans of half-eaten food. FML

That... is not healthy. Time to talk to your doctor, because that sounds less like "wanted" and more like a compulsion.

Just... Buy a Danish like a grown up? What the heck is this? How does your diet have anything to do with this decision? Who are you to dumpster dive instead of buying a Danish? I'm so lost...

How are you even on a diet when you obviously have no self control. I'd rather not diet at all than doing something disgusting like that.

... why didn't you just eat it when it was on the table?

Maybe instead of depriving yourself, which leads to ridiculous binges later, you should consider the 80/20 rule where 80 percent of what you eat is healthy--fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts--and 20 percent is little treats. You may have to cut calories elsewhere or increase your exercise that week, but if you want a danish, have a freaking danish. Just don't go overboard and have five. And don't dumpster dive for a danish.

I wonder how many people realise suddenly going off something like sugar wreaks absolute havoc on your body... Which can lead to some pretty bizzare things too. My care worker tried cutting out sugar. She ended up buying rootbeer and nearly fainted before she did so after around 2 weeks without it. Go slowly or get a professional. Even a lot of people rescued in ww2 who were fed nothing but crap for months or years died after being given chocolate because of how much of a shock it was...
