problems deciding when to start?

I just picked up the book yesterday and have been trying to read it slowly, to learn more about it and get my mind-set ready for a "diet"! I'm trying to lose what they all call "vanity" pounds. I have virtually zero fat on my upper half accept for recently and I've gained weight over the holidays. I've been eating more and more every evening and my stomach is uncomfortable from overeating, and I'm getting a pooch in my belly! I've never ever been able to stick to a diet, I think it's cause I like food too much! Also cause I'm so close to my goal that I give up easily thinking "who really cares?!" But I'm wanting to wait until next Monday to start, not cause it's the usually "wait till Monday" deal but because my in-laws are having a birthday party and I don't wanna miss out on cake and ice cream. ;-) I do better if I don't have one bite of a tempting carb, if I have one bite I have the whole bag problem ya know? And I just recently learned that baked potatoes are worse for you than table sugar! Wow, that will hurt to give up cause I LOVE baked potatoes! So, given a little bit of my background is there anyone that can relate to what I'm saying? And if so what advice would you give me? Can I actually succeed with this diet? Thank you so much and I'm so glad I found this board! ;-) Rachel
