Look, I am on some type of a food regimen identical to everybody else on the planet at one level or one other.

However I am right here, I am preventing and sticking to the problem of wholesome weight reduction.
Essentially the most highly effective a part of my weight-reduction plan journey is available in these obtrusive moments the place I get to be unapologetically sincere, like now. Weight-reduction plan sucks, it is horrible and boring and there’s no manner in hell that you’re going to persuade me that kale and spinach and skinless, saltless hen and ingesting 200 ounces of water a day is enjoyable.
Having the ability to admit this makes all the pieces okay.

On that superb day, you will be reunited with all of the lovely and crappy and scrumptious and addictive grub that pressured you to food regimen in the first place.
