Diet Blog: Day Five

    I said the other day how I hadn’t weighed myself. It seemed improper not to, though, on the outset of a diet, so I performed that formality on Sunday (on Day Two). I weighed in at a hefty 238½, which, considering my last official weigh-in, on January 1 2002, was 235 pounds, is not all that bad. Five and a half pounds gained in two years.
    Anyway, after two days of strict adherence to the South Park diet, I weighed myself again yesterday morning…and I lost three pounds. I now weigh in at 235½. I know better than to weigh myself too frequently, but it’s nice to see such immediate results. It looks like it’s going to get tougher though. I thought the Holiday Eating Season was over, but it looks like temptation is still in my path: a company dinner is planned for this Sunday at Benihana’s, I just heard my friends want to have a night of wallyball and drinking on the 16^th, Poker Night is being talked about on the 23^rd, and Super Bowl Sunday follows soon after!
