My Weight Loss Journey...

I fail at life.

No.  It's really not that bad.  It's just been a bad week or so.  How come when I'm good, I'm great, but when I'm bad, I'm really, really, really, really bad?  My weight it still around the same - I'm teetering around 177.something.  I haven't lost anything significant in two weeks - I would have if I didn't go off the wagon the last two days.

Take last week for instance - there was an unexpected buffet of veggies, fruits.....and dips, chips last week.  I started off good - some fruit and veggies, one pita chip.  They I went back for more veggies.  Then more fruit.  Then more chips and dip.  Then one serving of dessert.  Then my second serving of dessert.  By the time I got a hold of myself I had over 2000 calories of snacks, so then I went home and made fried chicken too.  This was on a Wednesday.  I have true problems with binge eating.  It's terrible.

Today, again.  I got back from my 3 mile walk at lunch.  Had some popcorn and chocolate.  Went on another 3 mile walk after work.  Went out to a bar for mashed potatoes, beer and hamburger.  Then stopped for ice cream by myself on the way home.  Seriously - what the fuck is wrong with me?

I'm trying to use the excuse that I'm getting my period this week - or that work is really stressful - or that I've been going out of town every weekend and nothing is more exciting than trying food in different places - but really?  Is all of this necessary?  Not to mention, last night (Wednesday night), I drank an entire bottle of champagne all by myself as a way to calm myself down from a hectic day at work.  Really?  This isn't good.

I'll keep writing and my intention is to get back on the horse after my third weekend trip this month, when I return on Monday.  I also have the day off, so it will be a day of the five hour workout perhaps.  Get things started the right way.  This is just ridiculous at this point.  I don't want to gain a bunch of weight back before I get back on the horse. 

I'm so close to 60 pounds I can taste it.  Wait - maybe not the best analogy....
