I'm on a diet.

Sshhh... don't tell anyone.  Just kidding.  Well, not really... I have this tendency to not share new endeavors.  It's not that I don't want to talk about it or that I don't trust people it's because I have this ridiculously overwhelming fear of public failure and embarrassment.  The thought of having to explain why I didn't succeed is staggering to me... and there's always those people that have to ask, right?!?

So, more often than not I just won't say anything at all... but it's out there now!  Ugh!  I am off to a decent start though... 4.5 lbs down.  Last fall (2010) I lost about 30 lbs, realistically that was probably too much for me but it's irrelevant now as I did put most of it back on.  I can attribute the backslide to lots of things but the excuses won't make me skinnier or healthier so here we go again...

Really strict diets aren't too hard for me... it goes along with my "all or nothing" thinking.  I completely suck at moderation though... if I like it and it's there well, why wouldn't I eat the whole frickin thing!  Add that to my love of cooking and red wine and... well, hence the diet again!

Off to drink my 500 gallons of water and get the rest of the littles out the door.  The first 2 got ready and to school surprisingly well... makes me wonder what I will have to deal with later since they were so well behaved at 7am!  Happy Friday the 13th...
