Let me take you back to January 5th to show you how this phenomenon started!

Now, we know that the month of January is a deprived month for all, out of choice (resolutions) and/or out of force (money) but even the most strong-willed of us indulged in a little bit of breakfast and bucksfizz on the first day back after the xmas hols!

 As I chatted to everyone a thin figure appeared coming through the lift with their hood up…. I wondered…who was this new employee, why was he not stopping, talking, introducing himself. How did I not know that we had a new starter? Questions, questions! I took it upon myself to follow this fellow as he made a bee-line far away from the gathering crowd and straight into the dark side of the office.

Slowly the small frame stopped. Took off his back pack and grunted. I hesitated, almost scared. In slow motion the man turned round, his boney legs hardly carrying his weight. It was then that I gasped. My hand covered my mouth in astonishment.

…….time ticked on………

….and on….

“Matt” I whispered, is that really you?

“Who brings f’ing champagne and crap into the office when I am supposed to be dieting? Its banana and milk day for gods sake!” he replied.

“I..errr… don’t understand…..” I stuttered! “You’re so thin and lithe…..How?”

“GM Baby, GM”

That was it. For the rest of the day I was obsessed like a crazy lady!  What was this diet, how did it make you lose so much weight, so fast. I knew that it was a risk, but I wanted it so bad! SO BAD! I wanted to be lithe, firm and a shadow of my former self.

I decided to GM it.
It has been 4 days. I have not touched anything of any flavour or substance for 4 days. Today is MY banana and milk day. Today is a BAD day. Dan is on day 2. Vegetable day. I remember vegetable day… I liked vegetable day.

Take a look at what we are putting ourselves through!

Is it working? Is it worth it? All these things I have no answers for! The things I do know are I feel slightly delirious, lethargic, grumpy and spotty but for the first time in 10 or so years I feel like I have no control over what I am doing. Someone is dictating and I am merely following. It’s nice, refreshing. Like not having to pick out your own clothes when you have school uniform.

Anyway – let me know your thoughts, and if anyone wants to force a snickers down my throat, I wont have the energy to stop you!
