DAY 395: The Skinny on Obesity

I'm so glad you're back, I've missed your blog. My past weight loss efforts have all been spectacular-I lose 50, 75 or even a few times 100lbs--I never have reached my goal weight. Then something gets ahold of my brain and I blow it, I eat and eat--things that are completely horrible for me. I pretend the scale was never invented and that I'm not scavenging for clothes that I'd abandoned. I bury my head in the sand and I gain that weight back and more--months and months of hard work and dedication generally undone in half the time I spent losing it. I went into this bout with that being my main goal--there will be screw ups, life will happen and I will falter--I have to learn to allow those waivers and get over them and get back on task. On 5/12 I will be a year in--I am down 116.2lbs as of this morning--I will be down less tomorrow morning as I had a midday binge after my gym time this morning. I think my upcoming vacation is stressing out my brain with preparations and consuming my thoughts with food I shouldn't eat. I'm feeling like crap, I'm tired, I'm bitchy and I'm glad tomorrow is a new day. I have had a lot of these moments over the past year, most lasting 2-4 days, once a week--but I've gotten my shit back together. I've gotten on that scale and faced the gain and I relost it--and I found that when after a week's vacation and a superficial 10 lb gain, it only took 4 days to get past that. I will check out the videos you've linked to and I thank you for pos
