Yesterday was a Protein/Veggie day. I figured out to make my favorite homemade ratatouille fairly low-fat. Before, when I sauteed the eggplant, it would take loads of olive oil. Instead, I pre-baked the eggplant in a hot oven before I added it to the zucchini, squash and crushed tomatoes which had been sauteed in Pam. I is a cookin genie-ass. It turned out pretty damn tasty. Although, I must admit, as I was eating it for dinner, my thoughts strayed on how good it would taste being lovingly caressed in a bowl of pasta. *gasp*
I've noticed that doing pure protein days really makes me appreciate my vegetables when I get them on protein/veggie days. To me, fairly bland zucchini and squash taste-of-the-gods yummy when I've been denied them, even if it's just for a day. Ray laughed at me for making my "O" face the first time I had vegetables after my 7 long days on Attack. It was *that* good. (Oy, no wonder I'm fat.)
But let me just say, with a little planning and stick-to-ness, this damn diet works. I'm SOOOO excited about being thinner. I want it so bad. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
Just noting this for posterity... Yesterday afternoon, specifically after lunch, I felt weak like a kitten. Not sure what was up with that. I have not felt that way since the second day of the diet. When I got home, all I wanted to do was lay down and nap. I didn't, but it was just unusual.

I've been wanting/needing to do something about eating and exercising for the past year. I've been looking for that thing that would kick start me. And I must admit, I've failed. I've watched from the sidelines while some of you become successful at whatever you're up to, whether it's South Beach, joining a new gym, or returning to the gym. I've cheered and supported like a friend should, and usually this would kick-start me to do my own thing, but this time, it hasn't. As a matter of fact, I think it's made me feel like more of a failure. I have so much self-hatred when it comes to weight, there are times when I've wanted to jump from a cliff because of it. It's so frustrating. I don't want this to turn into a pity party post, but I wanted to give some background.
So I've been quietly looking at different diets. I've also been watching what I've been eating, for the most part. The bad thing is that my metabolism is jacked and the fact that I'm middle-age/peri-menopausal doesn't help either. While I was moderately successful with South Beach, I feel like I can't go back to it. I feel like I need something new, to at least kick-start weight loss. That's what I'm looking for...a kick in the pants. I think I've found it in the Dukan Diet. I know, I can almost hear you rolling your eyes at me. "Oh, crap. Another diet book on her bookshelf." But as with many life journeys, it's personal. This is personal. Reading about the diet it is clicking with me. I feel like it's something I can manage. I want to at least try it because the cliff isn't an option.
