I'm going to make another try at dieting. I feel uneasy because i've failed so many times. But alcoholics and addicts in recovery who have had a slip don't say, Well, that's it, i won't try any more. They keep on trying. They never give up. There's never enough trying.

I was just sitting in the food court at the mall after i'd eaten a New York Fries and there was a woman who was even fatter than i am in front of me. I studied her and thought how that is my fate if i keep on eating the way i am -- lots of junk.

So i went to the grocery store and bought a load of veggies and fruit. I came home and took a long walk. I've drank three waters.

It's easy to say i'll diet when i'm all topped up with New York Fries tho. Dieting is hard work.

I weigh nearly 220 and am a 50 year old woman 5'3" tall. My doctor only wants me to get down to 170 so that's 50 pounds.

So lets all band together and support each other in getting to healthy weights!
