Internet Diet Tips

It’s not just the TV… Every time I turn on my computer there is a new diet or diet advice. My Yahoo home page seems to be chasing me down with information. One really caught my eye today… Can you lose weight by cleaning up your house?

Hm… I have messes in my home… perhaps this is another part of the equation? With the strike still on, perhaps I could spend an hour a day cleaning out garage… or closets… or shelves… or bedroom. Hm…

The yahoo article quoted a doctor who instructs patients trying to lose weight to create one clean and uncluttered place in their home. She told about a patient whose garage was “a solid cube of clutter.” The woman cleaned up her home and lost about 50 pounds. Genius!

I could add cleaning up to my diet. It involves no deprivation except for my time, so it kind of fits in with my overall laconic approach to weight loss…. Ie… willing to do anything as long as it doesn’t involve being deprived of food.

It’s raining today… Exercise went down the river so to speak. I just couldn’t face the elements… perhaps some floor work this evening to make up for it.

I’m grateful for the rain because I don’t have to water the grass of fill the pool
I’m grateful for being thin
I’m grateful for being rich
I’m grateful that when I weight myself tomorrow for the first time in a dog’s age, I will have lost more weight!
