have you ever noticed...?

Have you ever noticed, that when you 'go on a diet' all of a sudden you want all the foods you 'can't' have???
I don't even eat bacon (ok, rarely) but today i am dying to have some hot off the greasy griddle, crispy and thick dipped in syrup paired nicely with some restaurant made steamy hot pancakes and some really good and hot coffee, with real sugar and half/half.
Have you ever noticed food tastes so much better when someone else makes it?

But today i am learning self-discipline (a life long journey) because i would like to shed this "winter weight" (aka 'In-in-Out animal fries' added pounds). I have also unearthed my strong desire to be the weight I used to be in college (a bit laughable really). You know what i am talking about; the fitness level you achieved by carrying 15 pounds on your back every day, walking miles to and from classes, and going to the gym everyday because you actually had all the time in the world (aahh those were the days). Have you ever noticed that life is not all about you anymore?

Small print: i don't endorse diets, I think they are stupid, they just make you crave foods that are bad for you because you are so deprived that you'll eat anything; the more fat, salt and sugar the better. (I am sure this is a biological mechanism of some kind). and i certainly don't think there exists a food that you 'can't' have. Ok I submit there are foods you probably shouldn't have and ofcourse if you are allergic or something, but even then you can have them if you want to suffer the consequences.
This leads to my lifes motto: "Everybody makes choices". Have you ever noticed that?
