Diet Book Author Goes On Diet

I’ve been thinking of writing a press release with that title.

After all, the irony of gaining weight right as I start to sell a diet book is just too “delicious” to ignore.

Okay, enough with the puns already.

As those of you who read my post, “Is Blogging Bad For Your Weight,” know, I gained 9 pounds after starting this blog. I think it only took about 2 weeks.

In that post, I explain what I think happened, so I won’t repeat it here. But I also promised I would go on my own diet, I Love to Cheat, to get rid of the extra weight.

I know it’s not a lot of weight. And my latest challenge is nothing to what some of you are facing.

But I think you always need a plan to fall back on… even after you reach your goal. You never know if you’ll start to regain the weight.

I think it’s best to lose it while it’s still manageable. In fact, I should’ve never let it get to 9 pounds. I should’ve stopped it at 2 or 3.

Yesterday marked the end of the first week of my diet. Here are the results so far:

I’ve lost 2 pounds this week. 7 to go.

So far, so good.

But the first week is always the easiest, isn’t it? I’ll keep you posted.
