#2 OK, I've had it.

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON FOOD GRAPHICS?!

I've hit one of those times in my diet when I stick to it religiously and don't lose any weight. To make it worse, I'm 1 1/2 pounds from the 75 lb mark.

Then the so-so drive-through Italian place near my house was replaced by a Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits.

Then one of the mediocre Chinese places in my neighborhood was replaced by an Indian restaurant.

And today, the day I'm supposed to get weighed, my co-workers went for sushi for lunch AND HALF THE DAMNED STORIES ON RANTBURG HAVE PICTURES OF CANDY!!!

#3 Now that's a righteous rant, Rob. Congrats on the weight-loss thing. It sounds like you've had to work real hard to get through it. If it helps, all of Rantburg's food graphics are certified low-carb.

#6 Cummon Rob, you know you want to.
Nobody will know, give in to your desires.

#8 Nah. There's lots of fruits and veggies on that table. Apples and grapes will do for now.

(But, God, I can't wait for my next vacation.)

#9 The day is almost half over, Rob. Congratulations on your accomplishment thus far! I truly envy your self control. May I offer a cup of tea with your choice of calorie-free flavorants (lemon juice, skim milk or saccharine)? ;-)

#10 No thanks on the drink; tonight's the weekly weigh-in. You know how heavy water is?

#13 Or water with only one part H. Two parts H is what really packs on the pounds...

#14 Well, lost 2.6 pounds this last week, for a total of 76. Got 30 or 40 left to go.

#15 Whew, Robert! I thought your goal was to get to 75 lbs, not lose 75 lb! My mistake.

#16 No, my goal WAS to get to 75. I got there. Now I need to keep going.

Ah well, I can resist the Rasinets now. After getting weighed, I blew through everything I had left for the week: a Chipotle burrito and chips.

#17 lol, I wouldn't go drinking hydroxyl (-OH). Plus the oxygen has far more mass than the Hydrogens.

H2 (Hydrogen) is what you're after, though kinda cold in liquid state ;)
