I'm totally blowing the diet. Ever since Thanksgiving I've been putting mostly crap into my body...chocolate, bread, chocolate, pastries, chocolate, french fries, chocolate.

I've had some form of fried or grease ladden-bread product every morning this week. Donuts, honey buns, bread slathered with butter. I usually follow-up my lardo-bread with some chocolate.

I think I'm going to have to do the hard-core Atkins routine again. The guilt induced by cheating when I'm supposed to be following a structured diet is the only thing that will keep me from shoveling tasty little morsels of junk food into my mouth.
