Try Not To Choke As I Blow the Dust Off This Thing

So, yeahhh...another month gone by with nary an update. The reason for that is simple; I've done nothing to help myself lose this weight thus following the predictable pattern of pushing myself to the limit for a relatively short period of time before crashing and burning. Go me!

Still, today is another day, blah, blah, blah.

Wow, that sounded so negative; time to readjust my attitude aaaand, we're good.

So, today is the third day of my new attempt at controlling my diet. I am trying the HCG diet that everyone has been raving about and, while I am extremely skeptical, I am giving it my best. Of course, I say that knowing full well that I have only endured the "loading phase" which consisted of eating as much crap as I could possibly stomach over the past two days and, honestly? How hard is that? Not very, let me tell you.

Today, however, is Day 1 of the VLCD, that's Very Low Calorie Diet for the (blessedly) uninitiated and, by very low calorie, we are talking 500 calories a day. You see why I am skeptical.

Anyhoo, I'll let you know how it goes. Or not. As the case may be.
