Dieting, that all round nasty, dirty word we all detest so much. Why?
From a young age we're bombarded with the image of perfection, bikini clad pin-ups in all their bronzed glory, beautiful models with their perfect tiny waists... So it's no surprise that we want to be like them, especially after looking in the mirror and finding countless imperfections. But (sadly) the truth is, we can't.
What the difference? We're real, they're completely fake.
So do we spend our lives feeling sorry for ourselves and trying out all the latest "miracle" diets? Well, we could (and do)! But why should we?
Did women find their independence by starving themselves? Did Marie Curie win two Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry by looking slim? The resounding answer is no.
Yes it is good to be fit and healthy and it's rather nice to have a good figure. But we shouldn't be as shallow as to let ourselves be ruled by all that nonsense. The truth is, there's a lot more to life than skinny legs.
So don't be silly and go and get that bar of chocolate you're dying for! It can't sit in the fridge forever, can it?
By the way, have you heard of the Dukan diet? Apparently it works wonders...
