My blog stats indicate that on an average day, 0 visitors check my site out…how depressing and yet how very revealing. What this tells me is this – either my blogging skills suck and my material’s so yesterday that it’s no longer relevant (I suppose now that we’ve got the Biggest Loser on Hallmark Channel every night) or else, thinking a little more positively, no one knows about my site. It’s still presently invisible. Either way, I’m not sure that I’m ready for change. I quite enjoy writing about losing weight and am still finding myself in all this. Plus, as a bonus, I do get the odd person checking out my site…so, someone out there does, in fact, read it. I do in fact have at least 1 solitary fan…so, to him or her, hi there! Happy to know you’re with me on this journey.
Looking ahead, I am hoping for some major changes in the week to come. Assuming that I do not sabotage myself this week. I will be going under the knife on Monday and after which, restricted to a liquid diet for as long as it takes to heal. Don’t worry, I’m not dying…it’s just a wisdom tooth extraction. Did I say, a wisdom tooth….sorry I meant two wisdom teeth. simultaneously. Madness? I’ll tell you the next time I log on. Meanwhile, a friend says she lost 10 pounds after her procedure. While I will be ecstatic to lose such huge numbers when my turn comes, I must confess, I am a little concerned. What does a liquid diet entail and will I be able to hold out?
I’ve been stocking up on yoghurt, Campbell soups and cartons of milk. But can one survive on these alone? What about my staple of keropok, my stash of chocolate chips or my daily ration of noodles. Will I be able to do without? Or perhaps I should just blitz my keropok into fine powder, melt down my chocolate chips and slurp noodle by noodle my ‘yin yong’…that might take a bit of work but at least I wouldn’t have to go without.
It’s crazy but I think I’m more concern about going without my favorite things than I am about the diet itself. Terrible me. Perhaps it is time to evaluate. Maybe this forced liquid diet will detoxify my gluttonous desire once and for all. Let’s find out….
