Dieting is Tough
M: Hi Emily. How are you doing?
W: Oh, all right… a bit hungry, though! I'm doing this new diet where you cut out all fat from your diet!
M: Huh? I thought you were doing the Atkins diet?
W: Oh, that was LAST week. Cutting out carbs seemed like a good idea, but it wasn't really working for me. But this fat-free diet is supposed to be really good! My goal is to drop 4 kilos by the end of next week.
M: That's a lot to lose in just 2 weeks! Are you working out as well? I always think that's the most fun part of trying to lose weight!
W: Hmm, I'd like to, but I don't really feel up to working out. I get a bit light headed when I go anywhere, so I thought I should just focus on what I eat instead.
M: That's a bit worrying! If you don't feel good, maybe you should stop your diet?
W: Nah, it's OK, I've already thought about that; if the fat-free one doesn't work, I'll just switch to a fruit and vegetable only diet. I hear people feel great when they do that!
M: Only eating fruits and vegetables? I don't think I could do any of those diets ? I love chocolate too much! I would miss it.
W: Oh, I still eat chocolate as well ? I couldn't go without that! I just figured as long as I eat what the diet tells me to eat, I can eat some chocolate every day too!
M: Hmmm, I'm not sure that's how those diets are supposed to work. But maybe a little every now and then is alright?
W: Yeah, sometimes I have a little. But there are also those days where I gobble an entire block of chocolate! It's worth it, though. As long as I follow the diet, I figure a little extra chocolate is fine!
