Today is halloween and also the day I decided to start my new diet.  I really didn't think this through.  I've passed by the halloween candy bowl 10 times today with all of that candy screaming my name but I haven't touched a piece only because I bought the kind that I don't eat.  The real test will be tonight after Bryson goes trick-or-treating and brings home the good stuff. 

I've been in this place several time before...only a few lbs from my goal weight only to give up and put the weight back on.  I just finished reading the book "Half Assed" which is about a woman that lost half of her ass (200 lbs to be exact) by cutting back on carbs and walking.  I thought if she can lose 200 lbs I can surely lose my last 15, right?  Everyone knows the last 15 is the hardest and I'm starting on halloween, just before thanksgiving and christmas.  I really have it in for myself!
