The packetless diet – Update 1

What’s a good girl to do when she is swamped with work, is hours away from a deadline and severely sleep deprived? Make a random post like this one.

So how’s the packetless diet going? Well I am still alive. Seconds after writing that post and publishing my decision to follow the diet, I realized what trouble I had gotten myself into. I excluded a woman’s most fundamental right for mental and physical well being. I excluded pani puri. Wait… maybe I could eat it if I made it at home, which is very painful, but what’s a few hours of hard work against a cruncy puris, topped with boiled potatoes & chana, dipped in yummy, tangy, minty paani? But then I realized that by banning processed items like rava and maida (the two main ingredients in making puri) I had locked myself out of any hope. Remember this diet also doesn’t allow Maggi. It’s a terrible diet really.

Seriously though, it has been manageable. I have been a good girl and have been cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner at home. Simply because if I don’t cook, I starve and that’s not doing good things to my temper as everyone around me tells me. In moments of temptation, I always turned to mangoes and thanked God for creating them, each time. And it has worked. Oh and home made curd so kicks Amul Masti dahi’s ass! Also, I am raiding the local subziwala’s every single day for the freshest, bestest haul of vegetables and fruits, two times a day. Well, I like to take the quality of my supplies very seriously.

Coming to the bottomline, I have figured out one loophole by now. That is my diet can include vadas and french fries. How many diets can boast of something like that, huh? As long as I make it at home!!! With a full time job and a toddler at hand, I will probably never get the time, that’s another story. The thought itself is propelling me forward. Wish me luck!
