I finally decided to get serious on this. I bought the South Beach Diet book on Friday and have been evaluating how and when I’m going to start this. I sort of don’t want to tell anyone in case i fail miserably, but on the other hand, I’m more likely to succeed if “my people” know as a measure of accountability. I told my folks last night, and they were supportive with such expressions as “more power to ya”. I’m not really “fat” but I’m slightly chubby now after three babies and I’ve been “stress eating” more this past year because of my impending divorce and have put a few lbs back on. (I’d really love to lose 20 lbs, but am afraid that is too far fetched so I’d be thrilled with 15.) It is my intention to implement the diet in full rigor at the start of the new year. I’ve never dieted before, not like this, so this is a little scary. I love sugar and bread and fruit, and the first 2 weeks there will be none of those things…
