Today is the day

I decided today was the day. I woke up with a new sense of determination. I was going to lose weight now so I won't feel horrified about getting into a bathing suit in August, when I'm planning to go away.

I started the day off perfectly. A coffee for breakfast. Six walnuts (they are supposed to reduce your appetite) a little later when I started to feel a little hungry. Then a cup of green tea. For lunch, a small can of tuna and eight Ritz crackers. So far so good. Maybe I can do this. Six almonds this time when I start feeling hungry again.

Dinner time, I start to feel my determination wavering. The kids want sausage for dinner-uh oh. It's ok. I'll just have one sausage and no bread. Well, one sausage turned into two, but I didn't have any bread. The kids wanted ice cream for dessert. That's when I totally lost it. I had a root beer float. It tasted sooo good. But I felt totally defeated. So I drowned my sorrows with some frozen chicken wings and a side of ranch dressing.
