Ignoring the "Rules"

As I leave the year heavier than I entered it, it is blatantly obvious that whatever I've been doing hasn't worked. So this coming year I'm doing something different. I am going to ignore all the received dieting wisdom and break every "rule" I'm aware of.

1. I will not count calories.
2. I will not limit fat
3. I will not exercise regularly
4. I will not keep a food diary
5. I will not drink copious amounts of water
6. I will weigh myself daily
7. If the mood strikes me I will attempt a rapid loss (ie crash) diet

 Now let's see what happens.
If I am not at my goal weight by December 31 2013 I will settle for remaining steady at whatever weight I am on that date. One way or another this year is the end of my struggle with weight.
