I've been lying to myself. It's easy, you know. You see, I'm addicted to food. Not just food, because technically, greens and low cal stuff are "food," but I'm addicted to the bad stuff.
In part due to a long period where I could eat whatever I wanted (through my 20's), much of my life has been spent existing on large quantities of spaghetti, chips (and dips!), and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Not to mention beer. Oh, how I love a frosty beer on a hot day.
If you've been reading my blog, you know that I recenly lost about 25 pounds on the South Beach Diet. I got on the scale today, after fooling myself for more than a month into thinking that I could really go ahead and eat that funnel cake at the fair yesterday, a bunch of chips and dips and other breads the day before, drink beers on Friday night, and on, and on... Guess what I saw on that scale? Yep. Slapped in the face by reality. I saw a big round "165."
So, it's back on the wagon again. I am a person of extremes. Since I've proven I'm unable to handle bad foods in minimal or moderate quantities (oh, yes, I neglected to mention the Ben & Jerry's on Saturday, and what else...?! Quite a lot...), I have to go back to my rigid discipline.
Help keep me honest, folks! Help me get back to my numbers. This time I'm shooting for 155. 150 would be better.
So, today is the day. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Carpe diem. Seize the moment. Any other cliches anyone can think of?

I HATE to diet...and my number is much bigger than yours because I always had a problem keeping the weight down. I always thought I was fat in high school - you were always so thin! I wish I had appreciated my curves back then. I refuse to diet - I am going to start exercising. My supervisor and two other of my co-workers are doing a Biggest Loser contest. We each put in $50 and the one who loses the biggest percent of weight wins the money. I am working out at least 3 days a week with Gilad on FitTv. Wish me luck too! I don't care if I win, I just want to get healthy.
Good luck, E! I'm going to go google Gilad now.
