He starts making an effort to lose weight, with the "help" of his reflection. The source of his problem is eating. He tries resist the temptation to eat, but this is found to be an impossible task.

Trivia[]
- The title Tomorrow We Diet is a pun on the expression, "Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die." It is found in 1 Corinthians 15:32 in the Bible, which derives from the expression within the Roman Empire at the time, "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die," which is parodied in the end as "Eat, drink, and be merry, and tomorrow we diet."
