Back to square one.

I finally faced the music this morning and with a great deal of trepidation stepped on the scale. After all the cookies, fudge, eggnog and port wine cheese I had plenty to be fearful about. Fortunately the damage was not as sever as I had thought. True I gained weight but it was only the five pounds I had lost while pretending to diet. However as the average person gains between 7 and 10 pounds over the holidays it is good to know that I am not average. Now that I am back to where I started and its a brand new year, no more pretending. I start dieting for real on Monday, because everyone knows that the most successful diets start on Mondays
