I've been meaning to mention for a while now that started "dieting" at the beginning of October. "Diet" is in quotes, because all I've really done is cut out most of the gratuitous sugary stuff that I've been eating for a while now. I was up to 2-3 Cokes a day, and was basically on the see-food diet. For example, on Fridays my company brings in donuts. I would always knock back two or three of those, regardless of whether I'd already eaten breakfast. No more! Now I have at most, 1-2 Cokes a week, and I basically ignore the donuts.
Just by cutting back on these non-essentials, I dropped 4-5 pounds in October. Now I have to admit that I bumped back up a bit here in the last week, but that's because I let myself go a bit around Halloween. But now I'm back on the straight and narrow, and I expect to drop again by Thanksgiving. I'll let myself off the hook a little bit then and at Christmas (you gotta have some fun, dontcha know?).
