Folks keep asking me why I'm on the i-diet.
Look at the picture below and you'll see the answer:
I've always said that Asian women look young, look young, look young, and then all of a sudden look like chimpanzees as their faces collapse into wrinkles.
As a peri-menopausal woman, I feel the tug towards that chubby cheeked round pot of a woman and I'm trying to avoid it the best I can, hence the i-diet.
Meanwhile, true confessions. . . I cheated.
Not on the diet, I've been doing that daily. But I swore I couldn't buy any new clothes until I'd lost 5 lbs and maintained that loss for a week. Well I lost 5 pounds and maintained it for 2 days--and then the Talbots Outlet sent me an email for 10% off my entire purchase.
I couldn't stand it. Like an addict, I craved my junk. The lure of savings and cheap clothes drew me inexorably towards Woburn and the Talbots Outlet. When I got there, certain jeans were on sale for $7.99. I couldn't resist, I bought 2 pairs, plus a white tank top for $9.99.
I presented my coupon and saved a grand total of $2.59.
The power of advertising, a coupon and incredibly cheap jeans lured me to cheat on my vow. I'm confessing this to the world in atonement.
Meanwhile, I've got to re-engage with the diet. 4th of July excess means I'm no longer 5 lbs lighter.
Sigh. I'm sliding back towards being the chubby cheeked round bodied chimpanzee.

so let me see if i understand... you are thinking that if you can stay on the i-diet, you will stave off menopause and aging?
I don't think menopause can be avoided--but I'm trying to hold off that chubby pot-bellied puff haired asian grandma look as long as possible!
