You'll get half way there before the craving sets in

I woke up this morning a little groggy. I contemplated hitting the snooze but remembered my pledge to lose 40 lbs. by my birthday in September. Instead of loathing myself for making such a commitment, I decided to get up, eat a small something and do some Ashley approved exercises. Note: Running is the only exercise NOT approved by Ashley.
I was feeling really great. I was feeling the burn and working up a sweat. When my timer told me it was time to get ready for work I was a bit let down even. THEN something happened...I got out of the shower, which is always placed in the same room as a giant mirror for no reason, and I realized that I have almost completely lost my chin. I can kind of see it peeking out of what I can only assume is my neck. It is being swallowed more and more everyday. My lack of jaw line is caused by eating but eating is now the only thing that reminds me that I have a jaw. I'm hoping that this realization will spur me toward my goal ever faster. I fear that my morbid curiosity will spur me toward something a little more roundish. In any case, I have 5 months to settle a craving. A craving to be fit and healthy or a craving for chips and chili dogs. I hope I choose healthy...but I really love chips.
