I Even Avoided Making Oral Fixation Jokes

My sister has lost 65 pounds.
Impressive for anybody, but since she's my sister I get to be extra proud. And jealous. I knew there was a reason she hadn't sent me a picture in months; shock value.

Okay missy, two can play this game. I may not want to lose 65 lbs, but I can change too! My competitive streak would have it no other way. After visiting earlier this month, I came home feeling energized and eager. And less than a week later I was standing in line at McDonald's and buying 12 packs of Coke at the grocery store.

Willpower is not my strong suit.

Then, while browsing my favorite blogs I came across this post in kthrnes. Sure, it's her 3-step program for quitting smoking, but this is easily adapted to dieting!

Dieters can talk. Dieters can drink tea, artificially sweetened of course. And dieters can have sex! True, sometimes when you're on a diet, you may be less inclined to get naked with someone. And true, some shallow people may be less inclined to get naked with you. But this is one form of exercise I can honestly say I enjoy.

A little skeptic are you? Want some scientific proof? Well, I don't have any. But I did find a couple of books published on the subject. The Ultimate Sex Diet and The Great American Sex Diet. I bet they even let you have whipped cream.

Or we can forgo the diet part, and try to cancel out calories instead. In one episode of Seinfeld, George Costanza was obsessed with scoring a trifecta: having sex, eating and watching TV all at the same time. But doesn't each one deserve my undivided attention? Who's that coordinated anyway?
