January 1: I can't start diet today

January 1: As much as I wanted to, I didn’t begin my diet today because I’m technically still on vacation. It’s not fair to have my family make food adjustments just because I’m the one who needs to lose some weight (25 pounds). I’ll definitely start later in the week. Plus, if I happen to gain a few extra pounds while on vacation, they will come off a lot easier this first month and it will “feel” more victorious. Those types of tricks motivate me.
