Trying a new diet, and hoping it sticks, is like trying
something new at a favorite restaurant. I often return to the eateries where I
know exactly what I like. Occasionally trying something new is exciting,
offering all sorts of possibilities, but in the end I usually wind up going
back to flavors I have loved before. It is hard to adopt new foods or
practices.
There’s a certain restaurant where my regular lasagna
experience was almost ruined by a one-time encounter with a weird-meat stuffed
ravioli. I don’t know what I was thinking. The ravioli looked so good on the
menu, but tasted so odd. How could I ever go against lasagna? Lasagna is
layered, for Pete’s sake! February rolls around and spring is starting to come
into focus. Hopefully any weight loss goals set in January are still on the
horizon. I know I made a few resolutions that are still in my sights. I’m
feeling pretty good about them.
