dieting and other misc ramblings

why is it so hard to diet? When I was younger it seemed easier. I'd just stop eating for a while, the pounds would fall off and before I knew it I could fit into my size 6 jeans again. Not now. I have started a diet/cleanse/new way of eating about 15 times since Seb was born. I haven't been able to stick to it for more than 3 days. And lately, I can't seem to stick to it past 2:00 pm on the first day. I feel even worse about myself because CJ is so thin and healthy now, and Dawn and Nabila who both had babies much later than me are stick thin again. I suck :( When will the "secret pill" be hitting the market. I will be one of the first customers.

On another note, JL... I don't know if you'll read this, but I heard what 'Safari Joy' said to you and Ben last weekend and I am horrified. I am so sorry. I hate her. I think I will complain.

The weekend starts tomorrow. We had a management meeting this morning and one of my coworkers came up with the brilliant idea to start up our Friday afternoon drinking sessions again. We used to do this every Friday in our office, but then the economy hit rock bottom, no one had work and he had to lay people off, so no one was in the mood for socializing. Now the economy is doing great, we are swamped and we decided we needed some morale boosting... I am looking forward to a glass of wine and some laughs starting at 4:00.
