Journey to a 30 lb. lighter me

It kinda just creeps up on you doesn't it? One week you're a pound heavier and you think, it's just a pound. Then it's 5 pounds and you think, oh maybe it's just water weight. Then it's 10 pounds and you still think, hmmm maybe it's just the double big mac meal I've eaten. But what do you say to 30 pounds??? I can't believe it! Okay maybe I can. It's not like I woke up one morning and gained 30 pounds, but still. Wow, that's a lot! So I've decided to go on a diet (or as some people call it, a lifestyle change) starting...(as I check my schedule) January 17(I have a party to organize next Saturday. It would just be impolite to not eat the food you serve right?)Anyways, I thought January 17 sounds like a good date. See, just looking at that date probably made me lose a pound already.
