week 1 weigh in:

This first week of "dieting" went well with the exception of 2 birthday parties and a BBQ. I believe the amout of calories I consumed in 24 hours (starting with my dad's birthday dinner) equals the amount of calories I ate in 5 days. I think I have OD'ed on cake.

I discovered how wonderful almonds could be, I do still have some form of will power and cereal can be eaten for any meal (especially if you need to balance out the calories consumed in the day.

Let's see how this week goes ... my cousin brought we down Girl Scout cookies. Will power will be put to the test!
