Channeling my inner Rizzo

"There are worse things I could do".....Well, Grainiacs, I over-rationalized my situation and decided to put off the ban on Diet Coke till Hubby and the boys go out of town.  Why kill them before they leave on a vacation?  In the larger picture, there are worse things I could do.  In speaking with a co-worker, she lost 50 pounds by taking some pill that gave her diarrhea, she snacks on bread sticks throughout the day and is now downing some shake twice a day and "eating a sensible meal at night."  She admitted yesterday that she didn't really eat a sensible meal and she really needs to find a program that she can live with for the rest of her life because she has eating issues.  Yep, me too.  She also admitted that she can go from 150 pounds to 200 pounds in nothing flat and she has lost the same 50 pounds over and over.

Grainiacs, I don't want to be that way.  Yes, I've lost 15 pounds in one year....not an exciting statistic for any weight loss program.  I will never be on the cover of a magazine because of it (and quite frankly I wouldn't want to be...think of poor Kirstie Alley!), but I am taking off weight sensibly and keeping it off.  For that I am proud of myself and I will not let Mona convince me that I'm doing it all wrong....she gets so crabby when she look in the mirror and thinks we could have be down 50 pounds by now!

Baby steps for now.
