Adventures in Dieting

OK, so I am dieting.  Seriously.  For the first time in like 6 years I am on a real diet.  It's been two weeks.  I am doing OK.  Lost 5 lbs so far.  A drop in the bucket, but it's a start.  So far no terrible setbacks.  It would be easier to go get some of this fat sucked out but I don't like pain or spending tons of money so I guess I'll just go with the slowly but surely way.
