Yes, I AM on a DIET! The word came from daeta (Latin) "prescribed way of life," and from diaita (Greek), "way of life, regimen, and dwelling". Never understand why people consider it a four letter word, other than the fact there are indeed four letters ... ;-)

I usually eat well (whole-grains, lots of organic fruits and veggies, free-range eggs, raw milk, bake my own bread and goodies, etc.) but too much of a good thing still makes me lumpy and have bumped me up from a size 2 to a size 4.

Lost some weight earlier this year, finally got serious: back to size 2 by September 4, 2011. No excuse.
