02/22/2009: "Happy Birthday To Us!"

I'm only feeling slightly guilty for going off my diet yesterday, and had lasagna and garlic bread at the February birthday party. I felt I deserved to indulge because I've been so good and have finally moved under 150. I guess I should give credit to giving up bread, butter, and meat products. So what do I read this morning on the msn news but the concerns for people eating only raw vegetables or very few calories in a day. I think the only way it works is just deciding not to give up, watching what you put into your mouth and how much. It's really a simple process and yet we try different diets and buy everything you can get your hands on that's connected to weight loss, and nothing works.
I even brought home leftovers so I could have it again today, but then I'll get back to business. It's my daughter's fault for making such great lasagna anyway.
I tried making myself believe there was this giant tumor in my stomach and no matter how much weight I lost the big stomach would still be there, but the truth is when I do drop a few pounds my stomach actually gets smaller, imagine that, so I can't use that excuse either. You'd think looking like a 63 year old that's 9 months pregnant would be reason enough to get serious about losing but I think it just has to do with it finally being the right time. All my ducks are in a row, so it's time to do it. Let's all dance it off!
