"The time has come the walrus said"

Well I'm really going to do it this time.  The time has come to shed a whole lotta weight.  The time should have came about 4 years ago but what can I say I'm a late bloomer.  Regardless, I MUST lose weight.  I sometimes pretend I gave birth to the children who live here and then I tell myself "o Becky it's just baby weight" but lets face it that's a big ole lie I tell myself to feel better. 
Each Monday for the past 2 years I have started a diet, and each Monday by 5:00 I end the diet.  Needless to say I haven't lost any weight but instead GAINED.  ugh gag.  So I figure the more people who know about my attempts at losing weight the more people I have to hold me accountable. Being accountable to only myself has failed me miserably.  Let me insert a quick rant here- I can't stand it when people say they are trying to lose weight, and when I ask them how much they want to lose they respond with "o 5 or 10 pounds".(SERIOUSLY???? MY BIG TOE WEIGHS THAT MUCH!)   Expect me to roll my eyes and talk about you later.  End rant.  So my goal is to lose 50 pounds, I truly have more to lose then that but I'm shooting for 50 right now.  My method is simple or at least it "seems" simple.  Portion control and activity.  Sounds simple right?  Well tell me that at 5:00 on Monday when I'm willing to kill anyone within 30 miles of me who even mentions the word "portion control".  O and I am also going "diet", but only in carbonated drinks.  So no more "fully leaded" carbonated beverages for me.  By doing that alone I am cutting tons of calories.  As far as reduced or fat free foods I'd rather gag.  I'm NOT kidding the thought of fat free or reduced fat dressing, cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, etc. causes my automatic gag reflexes to kick in. yack!  I'd rather use less or none at all...and that's just how I roll. 
So there it is, hold me accountable, if you see me slipping up feel free to take whatever measures necessary to get me back in line.  This isn't going to be easy but I have to choice.  The time has come the walrus said ( btw the walrus is me, but hopefully in a month or so I'll be a seal or just a  smaller walrus) to LOSE THIS WEIGHT!
