Chronicles of a formerly slim girl ( So...I lost 6 kilograms)

My bathroom scale is a complete and utter traitor!!! I'm quite certain that there were other ways to tell me to shed  a few kilos but no...it had to come to this.  It  shattered into a  thousand little pieces...now if that's not a sign I don't know what is.

(Ok, I actually crashed my scale by kicking it against the wall but perhaps that's a tale for a different battle)


I had to do something drastic so I went and did this crazy 13  day diet.  Those of you who frequent the  internet  diet fraternity  know exactly what I'm talking about.  Yes...the coffee and steak one; sometimes called the metabolism diet.   This diet is draconian...I'm surprised you are even allowed  to breathe while on it.

So, they give you this set menu right and you must follow it like marching ants follow  each other and you, may, not, cheat! If you cheat you might as well just quit...like you cant even have a stick of gum.  Some days are better than others like the days you have steak and salad or fish and tomato.  I liked these and saw them as post diet meal options. And then there are days like carrot and cheese day.  This is pretty much like eating chalk with a side dish of rubber...

Nonetheless I did. Thirteen days of a caffeine laden, calorie deficit battle in the hope of seeing some kind of change. And I did.  Having taken one for the 'chubby cheeks team' I cared to document all my meals for 13 days.   Please see  how it all went down on:
