I swear it's already working...

Wow, I am in awe of what an impact writing something down can have.

Normally, I would have let yesterday stop me dead in my tracks, but I actually made a 180 today and ate splendidly.

I think the upset stomach and acid indigestion from all the cookies might have helped as well--but hey, I'll take what I can get.

I ran for thirty minutes, no more (sigh), but was deeply motivated the entire time by the thought "I might as well have eaten a cookie the size of my head, I might as well have eaten a cookie the size of my head"...

On the upside, I do believe I have had my share of Thin Mints for quite some time. I GAVE AWAY the rest of the box to my super-annoying, teeny tiny eating machine that I call my roommate. For any of you who have ever had a friend who could eat literally WHATEVER they wanted constantly, completing swamping any amount of food you could ever hope to ingest and still manage to weigh on the lighter side of 150 lbs, this is my roommate Chris.

Now take that image of your friend eating all those goodies and how it makes you feel and make them your roommate. Needless to say, my living situation right now is not conducive to dieting without temptation.

Earlier tonight he came creeping into the living room with his hands behind his back, saying "Don't be angry, don't be angry.."

What? I say.

He plops down next to me and reveals 1. a box of caramel delights (bastard!) 2. a bag of chocolate Teddy Grahams and 3. a cupcake with red and white heart sprinkles. Oh, and a glass of milk.

I ate a small clementine and a small box of raisins and excused myself to bed.

He'll get what's coming to him some day: high cholesterol and a gut. He has to... right?
