Dieting

Since I’ve made a post about working out, I thought it would be fair to make an entry about dieting. Indeed, working out is just 50 percent of the job if you want to be cut. It’s rather hard, requires strength, you sweat and stink. The other fifty comes from dieting. It requires patience, a lot of will power, self-control and a certain taste for disgusting food. In my situation, dieting is no easy task. As I’m writing this post, I’m eating a brownie. I should be ashamed of myself… but somehow… I’m not… Anyway I have this 14 days meal plan which means I can eat twice a day at the dinning hall… You know… The “ All You Can Eat” style type of restaurant dedicated for students. So now you understand my frustration… Not only you have to eat healthy but you also have to eat very little. And the fact that it’s all you can eat is not going to help me at all.

As for the healthy part of dieting… It is so unfair. My roommate told me:

Dave: “You have to change your way of life and exclude all unhealthy food such as pizza, burgers, ice-cream and cheese.”

He obviously forgot that I come from France. We, French people, praise cheese like no other food in the world. It’s in our culture; it’s in our blood. There is no way on earth that I’ll be cutting on my precious cheese. So I was like:

Khai: “What? Cheese…”

Dave: “Don’t worry Khai, I knew French guy wouldn’t give up on this one. There is this cheese that unlike other cheese, is very healthy for you. I eat it every time”.

And Dave showed me something I’ve never seen before. It was white… liquid and solid at the same time. He calls it “cottage cheese”.

Me: “ Huh oO? That’s cheese? You’re kinding me right? Looks like a snowman threw up in your bowl. Put that away from my face… I ain’t eating none of his puke”

Dave: “Well you wanna be cut, right?”

Me: “Hell yeah I do”

Dave: “Then you gotta make some sacrifice”

Me: “But this is madness”

Dave: “No pain, No gain”.

Hann man… I hope this is really worth it…
