Slimming down dog

The Vet just put Boo on a weight loss program.  He has a bad leg (Boo, not the Vet) and the extra weight he's gained since Kiku started eating solid food and throwing it on the floor is preventing it from healing.  Apparently he needs to lose 15 lbs (whoa), so we're feeding him special low-cal dog food akin to dried sand pellets and he can have one treat per week.  Poor guy. 

Boo and I have been taking lots of walks & runs this week and his collar already seems looser.  My pants, on the other hand, have gotten tighter.  What's the deal?  Maybe it's just bloating.  It better be.  Although I guess I shouldn't have eaten penne with roquefort on Monday.  Or Thursday.  But I had cravings and it's not like I can just turn off my hormones.  I even used low fat sour cream instead of creme fraishe!  It's just not fair.
