Yesterday was my first day on the diet and oh my goodness did it
reveal a lot about eating habits I wasn't even aware of!

I honestly had no conscious idea that I snacked that much on candy --
starbursts and chocolate and jelly beans, oh my! -- as the day passed.
We have tons of stuff around the office and while it wasn't hard to
say no to most of it (it was hard to say no to the homemade white
chocolate peanut butter bars, let me tell you), habit had my fingers
reaching for stuff almost before I realized it.

And given that I've only worked here since June.... Well, bad habits
certainly can form quickly without us paying too much attention to
them.

Today is my second day, and I'm pleased with the simplicity of things.
It's so much easier than points, or calories, or carbs, or exchange
values or any other one of a hundred different diets that people have
pushed my way.
