The notebook of shame is back


I have officially gained back more than half of the 55 pounds I lost a year ago...sucks.
The notebook of shame is back. I write down everything I eat and every time I exercise in this bad boy. This is the only way I stay disciplined with what I eat...call me weak but it works. No crazy gimmicks, no detox cleansing, just good old fashioned smaller portions. It's a novel idea but when you don't eat like a horse you can stay at a healthy weight.
175 by the end of summer is the goal. If I don't reach that goal I give everyone in the blog world permission to come up to me at will and slap me. If you don't live close feel free to berate me over the internet or hurl insults at me with reckless abandon.

I've lost 40 over the past 11 months this way. Losing more with the running.

But I agree with Billy. Talk to him.

I lost about 200 lbs ten years ago, but the divorce after glow only lasts so long. I'm getting my teeth fixed, which will allow me to eat things with a stronger texture than...pudding basically, then I'll be able to drop a few lbs. just being able to change my diet. As I get older, I find myself craving the "healthy" things in the daytime. Green, yellow, orange vegetables that aren't clasped firmly between to pieces of fresh bakery buns with a sweltering meat patty, or reasonable substitute thereof, and a plethoric conglomeration of condiments. It's at night, it seems that eight o'clock is the witching hour...I start to think..."I can hear a jack in the box oreo shake calling me". The other day, I walked by a hostess display about noon and I swear I heard it say "Don't worry, you'll be back for my luscious ho-ho's later big daddy" and I was shamed...cause she was right. I binged...but, as you can tell by my rippled (from cellulite)physique, I dont purge. Diets dont do it, smaller portions make Seany p/b/m (piss, bitch, moan) and appetite supressants..well, thats how I lost 45 lbs few years ago, but then I had a dexatrim habit...Im just gonna have to suck it up and start exercising..I could use someone to walk the track with, or a nice neighborhood. I can't do much more than that, but maybe after I take some weight off, my back will allow more. I'm down for the exercise life group

Dan this was my next blog! I had to go back to WW (and I worked there in the states so I knew exactly what I was doing...but still NZ food attacked me!)

And just be glad that you get 35 extra points each week...no extra points here in NZ...bummer!!!

Good luck!
