Never tell anyone that you're writing a book, going on a diet, exercising, taking a course, or quitting smoking. They'll encourage you to death.

(Lynn Johnston)

I've made it to the end of Day 1 of my diet healthy eating formula plan, and all I can think of is how much I want a piece of chocolate right now. I'm not hungry, I just want the taste of chocolate.

But after the way I was huffing and puffing while chasing after my daughter in New York, it's obvious that I need to (1) lose some weight and (2) get back into shape. I am determined to make a change.

If I'm going to make it, though, I need to go to bed before I give into temptation. (There's a bag of Hershey Kisses calling out my name from the kitchen counter...)
