Is Your Diet Making You a Jerk?

"Reaching for an apple instead of chips may feel righteous at the time but cause you to lash out later, suggests a new study slated for publication in the Journal of Consumer Research.

In one of the study’s experiments, people had to pick an apple or chocolate, then they were asked to choose between two movies with the same star but “happy” or “angry” themes: think Adam Sandler in either Billy Madison or Anger Management. People who chose the apple were more likely to choose Anger Management. Other experiments in the study backed up the findings: When people make a wise or restrained choice, their subsequent reactions are more angry than people who gave in to their impulses."

OMG, this is soooooooooo true! LMAO!

This is why I refuse to diet. People who diet tend to get real miserable after a couple weeks, and who can blame them? You'd be miserable too if you reduced your options to rice cakes and lettuce. But what sane person does that to themselves? LOL

But its even worse than being angry and bitter. Dieters get real self-absorbed. I have had friends that have made me wanna choke the life out of em when they were dieting. Not only were they trying to convince themselves it was okay to eat nothing but lettuce and sand (LOL), but they think YOU supposed to live off lettuce and sand too! My plate aint got nothing to do with you LOL. Plus, it seemed like their diet was all they talked about. Who wants to be around somebody with nothing to talk about but what they cant eat and you not feeling like going to the gym today? Not me. Go or dont go. Im still having pizza tonight LOL.

Matter of fact, I have a friend at work who is the prime example of foolishness. This nut doesnt even eat food, except at night, and he only eats it at night because he be starving and cant sleep if he doesnt eat. The rest of the day, he's drinking this pink protein powder and black coffee. Occasionally you might see him eat a buncha fruit, or a small bowl of kashi cereal, but generally speaking, the nut dont eat. I can turn around right now and see him scooping from the big ass container of powder under his desk. *smh* If you dont go get you a sandwich LOL.

Thats why I like this Weight Watchers thing. They dont tell you that you cant have pizza. They just want you to share the pizza with other people LOL. You cant have the WHOLE pizza LOL. And I can get with that. Who cant do that much? LOL

Diets - nah, Im good on that. I would be the most angry dieting ass out here LOL. I do not fare well with substitutions. If I want something, what I get needs to be THAT, or Ima be pissed off. Even if you cant tell. Ima be pissed off on the INSIDE LOL. And thats even worse, cause it will come outta nowhere when I flip out LOL. So its just the best thing for everybody involved. Let me have what I want and nobody gets hurt LOL.

Happy Friday yall.

Oh I was gonna do an April Fool's Day post but.......... thats stupid. LOL


Bye!
