I have not done well since last Sept.... I let the enemy back in -- sugar -- and have no chance when that happens. I used to work at home and had more control over what was in my house. Now working in an office I find donuts and cookies that people bring in to share.

It's like making an alcoholic work in a bar. I have to make hundreds of right decisions a month. Today a colleague litterally dropped some homemade cookies on my desk. I didn't have one. We have Girl Scout Thin Mints at home. I didn't have any.

There are some people who can have one cookie and some (including me) who know that one cookie will lead to 10 cookies.

My new goal is Sept. 10 to lose the 100 pounds - six months is aggressive but I know people whov'e done it!

Having a goal and declaring it is the first step...
