Those of you hoping the title of this blog entry refers to my enjoyment of breakfast will be dissapointed. It's actually that I now feel less likely to "dodge" my own image in the mirror. As the character Harvey Pekar says in "American Splendor" when he passes himself in the mirror "Now there's a reliable dissapointment." I'm starting to feel less like that about me and my image and more about the horrid breakfasts that my limited imagination have forced me to ingest.

I must say that my wife has become quite a cook. She really has been a great help all this time, despite her ice-cream and pizza eating ways. Her no-carb dishes are quite yummy and it is a relief to skip the cooking when I get home. I think not cooking has helped me quite a bit, because I was quite a "taste what you're making, eat it as you go along" type cook. The other day I'm sure I made perfect mac and cheese for Ruby without tasting any. I could just tell, it was going to be yummy. Longings: The other day at the pizza shop I realized that I never before gone without eating Ruby's crusts. It took an act of will, but I did manage to get them into the garbage. I might have brought them along for the birds, but I was afraid I would hork them in all their white flour, high carb, sugary goodness. I know that I will never ever, hate carbs. I will always love them. But it's just not our destiny to be together right now. I felt the same way about cigarettes. I didn't hate them, I just had to give them up because they were going to kill me. I guess caffiiene is next....

Hi Sweetie, Glad you're feeling better about the mirror. Actually you've always looked good...but I'm sure you look even better as you slim down. We are your rooting section in Great Neck. Love, MOM
hey good news on the caffeine front. big report on the news about the benefits. and it was not sponsored by the coffee lobby. it was endorsing moderate amounts of coffee. three cups a day. yahoo. and they dismissed the dehydration thing and some other misconceptions. next thing you know they'll want you to be drinking wild turkey.
looking forward to the your next weigh in. talk to you soon, keep up the good work.
and emily really does have a natural feel for the kitchen. it warms my heart that you have dinner waiting for you.
