Day 494: 282 lbs

Okay, I did it. A full day on the diet, counted everything that went into my mouth, and stuck to my 1,500 calorie quota.

Well, technically, I did go two calories over the quota. But that's really small potatoes--my food scale isn't that precise anyway.

The only downside is that it was New Years Day. That's so cliche: starting a new diet on New Years Day.

I hate being a cliche.
