Well, today is the day.  I HAVE TO start adhering to my diet plan.  I have gained nearly 20 lbs., rather than losing 20, and I have to get ahold of myself.  It's crunch time and I have to face the challenge head-on.  No more half-assed attempts to cut down.  This is a very serious situation and I need to handle it as such.  I dread going into face Marian, Joe, and Mark today, but I have to do it.  It is simply imperative.

I met with Lisa yesterday and told her about my diet plan.  She said she'd discuss it with the kitchen to facilitate my getting what I need from them.  Hopefully it won't be too big a pain in the butt for them and I can follow my guidelines without too much of a problem.  After all, what I need from them is very straightforward...plain chicken or fish, steamed vegs, and water.  That's it.
