I was at a breaking point. I needed a cheesesteak.

Ok, maybe I didn't NEED one, but I really, really wanted one.

I told Jeff I wasn't going to make it. I dreamed about food last night.

I woke up this morning hungry.

So far today, I've had a diet SutriSystem breakfast biscuit, a small apple, some diet tea and 33 ounces of bottled water.

That's all I get eat until lunch. (In SutriSystem's defense, all the food, so far, has tasted good.)

Jeff, my in-office SutriSystem support staff, said everything would be OK.

He told me to be patient, and that I just need time to adjust to my new eating habits.

He urged me not to kill anyone in a lack-of-calories induced rage.

After a few more complaints, then some deep breaths I calmed down.

I can do this. I will not give up.

I will not allow my hunger to rule me. I will make it.

Oh, please!

God, does anyone have any appetizer with lots of ranch dressing they can spare?

I'm dying here!
