It's Not So Bad

277.1 and counting...and I even shoveled assorted Jelly Bellies into my mouth as I graded papers last night. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep it off this time. My dad dropped 40 pounds doing one of those diets where you pay for your specialized meals. I could never do that, but I think that what I am doing is helping me realize how small portions actually are. Yes, I still feel half-starved at times, but those times are coming less and less, even if I don't wake up on time on Sundays and don't get home until after 3:00. I'm still counting my blesings, especially the 17.9 of them that have left my body since New Year's Day.
