I was doing great. I kept around the upper end of my range. Then I got a new job. It is a typical Silicon Valley startup. That means there is always plenty of free soda, bags of chips, candy and so forth. After 6 months I've gained that many pounds!

I wrote on my white board in my cube "I will not eat chips." My office mates read that and will tease me if they see me eating any. I made it today without eating any garbage. Just watch, I will lose 5 lbs in no time!
