Well fine....I'm replying to myself... but that's okay. Current update on my Gee-Dr.-Atkins-I-Love-You diet? I know you wanna know..."and how much have you lost Kate?," you say.
"Well, when last I checked (this morning), I'd lost a total of 16 pounds in a little over three weeks (I think)," I said.
"And are you finding this way of eating difficult?," you ask.
"Why... not at all," I say, "because really, once one makes up one's mind, one can really do anything," I say rather smugly.
"Oh be careful with the smug there Missy," someone calls out.
"Oh I know," I say. "I'm just once chocolate covered almond aways from a whole Halloween sack," I say, not so smug after all.

But I am doing very well and haven't cheated. I wake up alert and as disgusting as this sounds, well not disgusting, but dumb looking, I have had to put on a belt with my jeans and tighten it up to keep them from sliding down my hips, so they're like gathered......what a wonderful feeling! Thank you for asking.
