Serious eaters, I'm about to stand before you (and on Thinner) a beaten man.

Why? It's been a bad serious diet week. I can cite the usual culprits: stress, bad eating habits, and too much access to seriously delicious food. And oh yeah, too many chocolate chip cookie taste tests. In fact, there's another one coming up this afternoon.

But too many chocolate chip cookie taste tests are not an acceptable excuse. I should try CCCTT abstinence this afternoon: Just say no!

But just saying no to the CCCTT won't rescue my weigh-in this morning.

In the end there's not much more to say about it, and sadly there's not much I can do about it at this point, except get on Thinner and take my lumps.

The Weigh-In

220. Damn. That sucks.

I suppose I can take some solace from having come as far as I have these last 93 weeks. I'm feeling and looking better than I have in a long time, and that won't change because of this one bad week.

I'm just going to have to pick myself up and get right back on the diet horse, even though Thanksgiving is coming. But just as too many CCCTTs are no excuse, Thanksgiving is no excuse either.
