Eric’s Dream

Today the scale read 220. Three pounds is great, yes, but I know that number should have been lower and would have been had I not fudged the day before my weigh-in.
I was doing very well all week. As usual, I ate out a couple times, but I even stooped to ordering off the demeaning [...]
