Popularly known as the Shangri-la diet that I found out from Freakonomics. Michael blowhards tried it and reported it to be working. Michael Blowhard is also low-carbing

I've kept carbs to a minimum since last year when my last weight loss plan worked but I've been stuck at the same weight of 141 pounds. I've been on this method for 3 weeks and it has been much easier to administer than the economic weight loss plan. I am happy to report that food fantasies have gone away and I'm spending much lesser on food. Now, like any other normal human being, if you put a slice of cake or tart in front of me, I will say no. However, I don't know if I have a difficult piece of work, I would still crave for sweets - my brain fuel.

C., my brother, has been asking me why I am all of a sudden concerned about my weight since I've never been concerned how fat I got. Yes, I do get shocked and crossed when kind hearted ladies tell me to eat lesser or go to the gym - not that they are calling me fat, but that to prescribe torture is clearly a sign that the darkest evil has overtaken their good soul and also, I hate being told what to do. I am plumpy my entire life, being fat is me - not an aberration I have to bring in line. So, unlike girls who became fat when they think themselves as thin, I don't bury my body in great swaths of cloth or wear aggressively tight clothing to prove fat is the new sexy.

From time to time, an event would come up and I would try to lose weight to get into one of my nicer dresses I use to be able to wear. (Shopping is an annoying activity that I try not to do it if I can.) While, yes I'm trying to fit into the Cheongsam I have for the graduation ceremony, on the other hand, I feel this is not just it. Maybe the Shangri-la method so easily changed my attitudes towards food and myself that I developed the wish to look so different from me to the extent, I hope, I don't recognise myself in the mirror and this different person can do and experience new things and I get to live vicariously through this different person, you know what I mean?
