i've noticed that since i've been going out to eat during the week with my friends, i've gained about 10lbs.  not good.  especially since i've also found myself "snack-happy."  everytime i turn around, i'm thinking about some food i'd love to be eating at the moment.  and when that particular food isn't around, i eat on other things...but it doesn't subside my hunger, so i continue eating.  and eating.  and eating.  so, today, i've decided to go on a fast for 24hrs, then i'm cutting out all snacks -- cold turkey.  that means, everytime i think about food, i get a glass of water or lemonade.  i'm cutting down on sodas.  only one with the noon meal.  i also started walking last week, tho i need to be persistent with it.  one thing i'm doing to keep on track is keeping a food journal.  everytime i think about food i'm going to write it down and what other things i'm thinking about while i'm "hungry."  this should deter my eating habbits by the simple fact of having to write it all down...i'm hoping this will stop my thinking about food soo much.

here goes nothing!
