Dieting, Part I

DH and I are on a diet. It's especially hard for him, as he loves food even more than I love cooking it. Tonight will be teriyaki chicken and stir fry. The past few days DH has been subsisting on a half sandwich for breakfast and lunch, and a salad for dinner. It was painful to watch. Every other ad on TV is for food; pizza, fast food, sit-down restaurants, or grocery stores. Torture. He has willpower beyond belief, but he won't hesitate to groan at the TV. I tried keeping up with him when he first started, but I simply needed more food to keep from shaking like a leaf. My portions are much smaller, though. My mom is sending me the South Beach Diet book in the mail. I should get it on Monday. We'll see how this works out in the next few weeks.
