How to Deal

The Oakland Raiders used to have a slogan which I found hilarious in its badness, and yet I still remember it years later - Commitment to Excellence. Laughable since the team would start off the season in fine form and then fall apart about November. But I digress, though this is related to my post. Namely, that the Raiders inspired me to start my Commitment to Better Eating. And yes, "better" is code for "more healthy." Gone are the days of asking myself "Have I eaten something fried today? No - well then I should!" I hope to do better that my silver and black team, and as a first step have gone cold turkey on Tim Tams. I had my last Double Coat biscuit last week. You never think it's going to be the last one, but it was. My mum lovingly confiscated the rest of the pack under the auspices of "if I eat one a day, you won't." I sort of see her logic. So, the challenge now is to write about food sans my favorite food groups - ice cream and chocolate. But I already have non-extreme eating stories to share, so really, it's not a dilemma at all!
