Diet update

I'm down eighteen pounds so far, aided recently by the best and fastest short-term weight loss program known to man: a bout of influenza.

I haven't cheated on the diet, either.

The exercise portion hasn't been as smooth. While the first three weeks had an 80% participation rate, I've slacked off since then.

By far the worst part of dieting (and something I haven't experienced before) has been frequent dreams about eating forbidden foods. Why should I be experiencing these dreams?
