Despite having sworn never to do Atkins ever again after last year's experience, I find myself on a low carb diet once more.

It's not just that I'm overweight (although I am back up at 77kg again)--it's that I've got my cousin Cameron's wedding to go to in just under a fortnight's time, and I discovered on Monday evening that I don't fit into my kilt any more. It may be a recipe for misery, but I don't know of any other way to lose 5kg in two weeks.

I started the diet on Monday, and the bread cravings haven't kicked in yet. I had a pretty strong urge for bananas this afternoon, though. Maybe I'm more mentally prepared for the torture of bread-free living this time round...but don't count on it.

So anyway, if I seem a bit grumpier than usual over the next couple of weeks...now you know why.
