diet woes

I'm trying tolose weight for my borther's wedding. I actually started trying a couple of months ago and so far I have lost a grand total of five pounds. Not very good. That is because I cheat. I'm doing an online diet thing now and am not having very good luck there either. The food is great, too great. Unfortunately it doesn't contain things like chocolate chip cookie dough and Skittles, to which I am addicted. So, I cheat. I think, "Just this once won't hurt!", and it probably wouldn't if I didn't do it every day. Sigh. At least the diet part is keeping me from gaining weight.

I also lie on the online weigh in. I have my weight listed as ten pounds lighter than my actual weight. I don't know why. Nobody else sees it. I don't think there is someone on the other end keeping track. It's all electronic. Apparently the encouraging message they give you isn't coordinated with any weight loss amount either because I only lost 1/2 pound last week and it still gave me the "way to go" message. Stupid program. You'd think they would at least have a "you're cheating" message. Maybe you get that if you gain weight. I'll never find out because I would never admit that even if I did.
