Who Stole My Wagon?

I have decided I would start a diet blog, after all, it is probable that there isn't a diet in this whole entire universe that I have not tried; excluding 'the tapeworm diet', although it speaks volumes that I have read up on the effectiveness of it. 
Truth be told not one of them has really worked for me, I mean sure I have lost weight, be it through weekly 'fat club' meetings or by restricting my calorie or by replacing meals with shakes or some other diet which completely consumed me... but do I have the body I desire, A body just like effortlessly slim and gorgeous girls on Instagram posing in their teeny tiny bikinis... nope. Have I just ate my packed lunch despite it only being 11 am with the intention of buying a second lunch come 1 pm ... abso-freaking-lutely. 

I have started this blog with the intention of sharing all my foodie experiences; be it my overindulgent cheese pie recipe or my yo-yo diet experiences. There is also a part of me that secretly whispers to myself that I will somehow become much cooler if I begin to post a blog. After all, everybody knows that bloggers are really cool hip people who sit on their laptops in cafes sipping an 'iced chai tea soy bean latte' or something equally as hipster and cool. 
When my friends ask me what I am doing this evening I can reply "just working on my blog".
Well maybe not this evening as I have my best friend over for dinner, this is also something that sounds much more adult and chic than it will be. The reality is that we will eat carbs, drink wine and try to get Siri to give us funny responses by asking questions like "Hey Siri, do you have a boyfriend?". However, my Instagram will reflect a whole different, sophisticated mid-week dinner party.


So back to the diet thing, I am very much what you would call 'off the wagon' at the moment - in fact, I think somebody has stolen my wagon and sold it for scrap metal, my diet is somewhat uncontrolled. This is down to a number of things in my opinion. The first reason excuse is the calorie controlled diet that I put myself on last month, for about 4 weeks I had restricted my calories to 700 calories a day and had to have burnt 2500 calories each day on my Fitbit... yes I know, I know not all that healthy but I did lose a fair amount of weight. Week 3 and 4 the weight loss naturally slowed down. This lead to me chucking the whole thing out the window, deciding to 'love my curves' and eating the equivalent weight of a baby elephant in junk food and I just haven't really stopped eating since. The second reason excuse is that I have just returned from a few days in Greece, and it would be totally ignorant to visit another country and not experience all of the local food, despite only being there for two days I had to try the Kleftico, Stifado, Dolmades, Fasolatha, Mousaka, Feta Cheese Pie, and eat as many Gyros Kebabs as possible... because of well.. culture. My final reason excuse is simply because it is just who I am; A Foodie, Greedy,  A lover of all things edible, A Duchess VonPie.

I have every intention of going and buying a new wagon in the upcoming days or possibly weeks and getting an anti-theft device for this one. Starting a new 'diet' or 'eating plan' or 'weight loss lifestyle' or whatever it may be that I decide upon to give me my Instagram worthy body ready for my next holiday and I will be posting about it right here.


Thanks for reading, I hope that you deem my blog worthy of a return visit.
