Ok...I absolutely loathe the word "diet".....to me it means a temporary solution.....for me this is NOT temporary. This has to be forever so is it an eating plan? What is it? What do I call it when people ask me "Oh...you're on a diet?" ummmm..no. I am absolutely NOT on a diet.

Having said THAT....I started the South Beach Diet yesterday......last night actually, because my doctor seems to think it's the "diet" for me.

Phase one is absolutely: no sugar
no fruit
no pasta
no potatoes
no rice
no bread
no alchohol
no fun
(Just kidding about that last part)

but seriously......those things are on my eating plan almost every single day.

******sigh****** I really really hate the word diest.
