I have a question.
In the middle of eating probably my second slice of sweet potato pie one morning, I thought of a novel concept. I knew that I was going to have to begin a weight loss regimen once the holidays were over. Thing is, what I normally do is go on a water fast for a day or two and then ease my way into just fruits/veggies, then move into eating nothing that wasn't grown out of the ground first. Well, I've had it with the drinking nothing but water/liquids for days (and so had my friends-- that ish'll make you grumpy) and decided that I was done depriving myself of food to jump-start a diet. Its not an ideal lifestyle change to me. But I thought about using a diet pill for a month or so, just to rev up the engines and start the inital weight loss, and then ween myself off of them (b/c they're expensive to maintain-- they cost more than my gym membership!) after the first 10-15lb loss. I know my loss afterward probably wont be as rapid if I"m not subsequently pumping fat-burning chemicals into my body, but at least it'd be a start.
What are your thoughts on the matter?

January 3rd.
Happy New Year!
I've decided to start this blog for a myriad of reasons, but the primary one was weight loss. How original. But then I decided, especially after getting a little older, filling my computer screen with new information on crash diets, starving myself, drinking nothing but this and eating nothing but that wasn't fun for me anymore. I'm interested in living my life these days, plus or sans a few lbs, and gosh darn it, I'm going to do it.
I'm not disregarding the importance of eating healthy and exercising. Lord knows I've seen/felt/tasted the benefits of that. But this blog is moreso of a forum of information and discussion between the people who I have chosen to participate and any friends/cohorts they choose to invite to pipe in as well. Please do. Any advice, trial-and-error tactics, questions, concerns, etc. And maybe its not just about weight loss. Maybe we end up veering into a conversation topic about relationships, how to cook shrimp, the best type of gum to chew... whatever. Follow the blog and see what unveils.
