Slow Pulse

I had my check up with the doctor.  It's the same doctor I saw when I first started the diet.  He was looking at my vitals and asked about my pulse. 

"Your pulse was slow.  Is that normal?" he asked.

"Well, when I came years ago you said that too."

"I did?"

"Yeah, said I have an athletes heart."

He smiled and asked me about my exercise routine. I explained my regular workout schedule, etc.  He continued smiled and said, "Yep.. sounds about right.  Heart of an athlete!  Keep it up!"

He asked me why I came back.  And, specifically why did I want to do the decision free diet.  That's the diet that causes the most weight loss at first and also the most restrictive.  Usually people who have serious pounds to shred start with that.  He didn't put me in that category.

"Frankly," I said.  "It's not so much about the pounds, its about the diet.  I haven't craved fruits and vegetables in a long time.  After I started the diet I got to a point where 85% of my diet was fruits and vegetables and I sustained that for a couple of years.  Now I just don't seem to want them.  I just want anything that is bad for me.  So, I feel the need to reboot."

"Interesting!  That's great... and a new one for me.  But, I get it.  It's like take it away so you will want it.  Interesting concept.  Smart.  Good.  I'm glad you are back!"

Now, let's see if it will work.
