Atkins Day 4. More and more attempts at dissuasion from several folks — but I have lost five (5) pounds already! It is not possible to argue with facts, or is it?

I have to reiterate: the diet is awfully strange. I'm not convinced it serves my health in the long term, except that in the short term it ought to reduce my weight to the point where I can maintain it with a “normal” diet and exercise. So you naysayers out there can just keep your pants on, because I think I know what I'm doing.

Went to the Euc tonight for the first time in at least a month. No beer because of the diet. I just paid my three dollars, went in, and chatted with friends. Despite my sobriety, it was a good time.
