If You've Ever Tried Dieting, You'll Relate To These Memes

These diet fails are so sad they're actually epic.

Ever tried to diet? You know how stupid that thing really is?

What's the point of starving yourself half to death just so you can sneak into clothes one size smaller than what you normally wear? With dieting, it takes forever to lose weight.

Let no one tell you otherwise. I hate to break it to you, but models and celebrities you see on mag covers aren't all that thin and in shape.

That's why the gods made Photoshop. But okay, I understand people diet for different reasons (sometimes health-related) but, in general, diet sucks.

I've tried different kinds of diets, but every time I see someone wolfing down delicious full plate meals, my tummy lets out huge whale sounds, presumably telling me how much it hates me for making it starve.

What do you think happens next? Cheat days, that's what.

What started with Sundays as cheat days soon percolated down to Mondays, Tuesdays, and Every Days. Don't trust any fitness freak who's cray cray about diets.

With all the remaining sane cells in their body they'll try to put you on their "awesome" diet, but don't bite the dust. Diets are not awesome, if anything, they're torturous.

With that, we dedicate these memes to people who see past diets!

When you realize the good stuff's in the trash.

How many times have you opened the fridge hoping that the food gods will pity your state and leave you a fat piece of cake to eat? Not happening.

When you're so hungry you don't mind eating anything that smells potato and sugar.

Chips, anyone? Donuts, maybe?

As long as you're not eating unhealthy food all the time, why put yourself through the torture of chewing walls and pipes? smh.

This is what a love-hate relationship really means.

You know you want to eat a fry or two, but your diet demands that you stay strong. You hate your diet for keeping you away from the love of your belly.

I get it. Go ahead, help yourself. After all, #yolo.

When time plays Devil's Advocate on your fate.

When you've come this far, it would only take the smell of freshly ground cilantro to make you cry. Don't embarrass yourself.

When you grow the confidence you need to cheat.

It happens to the best of us. We try so hard to avoid breaking the rules, but then we remember the quote "no one's perfect."

Good enough.

When your best friend sees past your crap.

When it comes to diets, you can say all you want, just don't put yourself through the turmoil. Haven't you gone through enough already?

Life isn't easy, as it is, why torture yourself? If this is you, kuddos.

When you think your brain isn't registering your mouth.

Eh. How about that?

You can't obviously do two things at a time because your brain focuses on one thing. When you master the art of eating and working out, you'll likely confuse your brain... said no one.

When meal preps mean starters.

Hey, it's okay. In fact, starting with starters actually helps you with portion control.

So this should be technically part of the diet.

When food decides to handle you.

Have you ever noticed how when you're starving, suddenly half the world starts preparing delicious foods? You can't run from the aroma of freshly baked bread or sizzling starters roasting on grills.

It's just a diet's laws of attraction, I guess.

When you have to sneak to live.

No matter where you hide, your diet follows you like the Grim Reaper. The only way to stop it is by breaking the rules and putting your foot down to sit on a table full of food you've missed.

When life throws you a reality check.

As mentioned previously, as long as you're eating healthy, going to the gym once a decade, and making sure you're not endangering your genes, eating delicious food is okay. Repeat after me: "eating delicious food isn't a crime."

Repeat this only when you know the foods you're about to eat won't land you at your doctor's office.

When you punish food for being delicious.

Roasting a pizza until it's nothing but crusts of blade won't help you lose weight. They will, however, destroy your mouth as you gulp down glass-like crusts down your throat.

Yeah, not a good place to be in.

This isn't a diet-diss post. If anything, I truly admire people who willingly stick to their diets.

But let's remember, dieting isn't for everyone. While they're great, make sure you're not overdoing it.

Remember, anything extreme always backfires in ways you can't imagine. So do yourself a favor and grab a sandwich.
