I've been thinking about dieting lately for a lot of reasons... getting a Wii fit for Christmas, being in my sister's wedding, New Year's resolutions and the new season of Biggest Loser starting last night... and I keep coming back to the same thought. The food that is bad for us tastes soooo good. I mean seriously, take carrots and cupcakes. Now I like carrots... they are probably my favorite vegetable (besides a potato but do those really count?). I can eat carrots about every way, almost every day and not get sick of them. But if you set a carrot and a cupcake on a table and ask me to pick... the chocolate cupcake with pretty pink icing and sprinkles will win every time.
There might be a time when I would pass over the cupcake but it would be a rare day... and not because I actually wanted to choose the carrots... maybe I just walked past a full length mirror and caught a big glance of the side view, came home from trying on clothes or *gasp* swimsuits!! Those experiences are enough to make me diet like a supermodel for a few days. I just think dieting wouldn't be quite so hard if carrots could just taste like cupcakes.

I would agree. May this year be a year of carrots instead of cupcakes. By the end of the year we are going to be looking like supermodels.
