Food Glorious Food

If you follow Rosie’s blog closely, you may recall Rosie’s resolution to lose weight in an earlier post. Rosie started her diet last Monday. Today is the 5th day of her diet. And Rosie feels weak. I wonder how those people can go without food for the longest time.

Rosie has survived on mostly liquid for the past 5 days. And still going strong. I am determined to stick to it until the end of the course. But nothing is ever easy for Rosie (except maybe if you test her a create-a-teardrop-within-10-seconds and maybe she will pass). Temptation is all around me.

Temptation 1: Every morning, our CEO will have breakfast with the investment team. Every morning Rosie has to go to the pantry first to get water for one of her bosses, and smell the yummy breakfast. And pretend that she did not smell it and walk back to her desk.

Temptation 2: Rosie went to Starhub Customer Service Center at PS to terminate her Starhub line, which has been idle for the past year. Rosie took a queue number and went to sit down at the couch to watch TV while waiting for her turn. And what were they playing on TV? A cooking program, showing all the yummy sashimi, sushi, seafood. All Rosie could do was to look at the TV and swallow.

Temptation 3: Rosie has not very supportive friends ;p. First they ask her out for dinner. Rosie could not make it bcos of work. Then they asked Rosie to join them in KTV, which Rosie did, cos she felt a little suffocated by work recently. And after KTV, where did they adjourn to? S-U-P-P-E-R. Rosie did not want to be a spoilsport, so decided to go with them, just DON’T EAT. Teacher asked Rosie to read to her what was at the back of the menu: Mee goreng, Murtabak, Cheese and mushroom prata… Rosie’s saliva almost flowed out from her mouth. Tsk tsk tsk. BAD friends. ;p

Temptation 4: Rosie loved reading LBT.com. Her fingers automatically clicks on th link without fail everyday. LBT always brings a smile to her face. Today Rosie's fingers did the magic again, and linked Rosie to LBT's blog. And what did LBT blog about today? Golden Pillow curry bun. Rosie used to love it. Rosie used to order it every other day. Rosies read about how tempting the advertisement is. Rosie clicks on the advertisement to see. Rosie sees GOLDEN PILLOW.
How can dieting be easy with all these temptations around you???

Rosie is now trying to cure her hiccups. With more sweet-like-Coke water. Rosie is craving for a nice cold can of Coke. Help me.
