passed! I bragged to everyone I know that I've lost a lot of pounds by
greatly reducing the carbs. People seem to be faster to let you know
that you gained weight than when you lose it... It's more fun to
humiliate someone than encouraging him, I guess.

Anyway, pieces of cake were distributed today at work. They did
everything to convince me to have one or more pieces. I said, "No
thanks. Giving me cake is liking offering a beer to a friend who is
A.A." I'm very happy with me!

Good for you. It's amazing how many people can know you're on a diet
and then try to force some food of their choosing on you. I've never
been able to figure out the psychological motivations behind this.

And I liked the beer analogy. It's something everyone should use.
