trying a new diet-- basically an approximation of the South Beach diet wherein I ignore the meal plans (half the stuff isn't available in Japan anyway), eschew bread and sugar, and eat stuff off the recommended food lists [edit for clarity: by off I mean from]. today, I noticed that my jeans-- which have been uncomfortably tight for about two months-- are loosening up. I may be on the right track. here's hoping.
