Diet

The one nice thing about being ridiculously obese is that when you finally DO decide to diet, the initial pounds go away quickly. I'm down almost 17 pounds in eight days, and that's just watching my diet (no additional exercise due to the fact that I have a herniated disc). I wish it were always that easy, because wouldn't it be nice to lose 100 pounds in seven weeks? But the fact is that I'm going to bottom out soon and then it will get hard.

Incidentally, you might remember asking which calorie tracker to use. I ended up at livestrong.com, which isn't really a lot better than most of the others, but it's okay.

On a stunningly unrelated note: Neko Case's "No Need To Cry" is just such a good song.
