Day 1168
There are days that are worse than others… sometimes you fall, others you use those hard knocks to remember who you are so that you can pull yourself back up again. Yesterday morning my weight was the worst it had been in two years. It is time to end that. I am going to go…

Day 1039
I am two pounds closer to the terrible mark this morning than I was yesterday. I was disgusted with myself that I weighed over 305 the last three days, and am really glad that starting tomorrow I am going back to eating breakfast and then meal replacements only. I am still not sleeping very well……

Day 775
I so appreciated the friends and readers who reached out to me after yesterday’s glum post. Yes, I am in a bad spot with my weight, and yes, I have to do something about it. What? That’s a good question. I know I have to cut out starches and minimize carbohydrates. I am going to…

Day 741
I ate much better yesterday (and much less) than I had the previous day, and was surprised to see no drop on the bathroom scale. My weight did not go up, but it did not drop either. Groan. I’ll try to do well again today, and then hopefully I will see positive results tomorrow.

Know Where To Stick Your Comments
**This is another article that I wrote during a previous weight loss attempt. It is funny how little editing I needed to do in order to make it apply perfectly to this week, nearly three years later. –MDG Has anyone else had it up to here (gesturing just above my head) with people telling you…

And What a Walk!
Speaking with Leslie today (and over the last little while) I have started to fully understand that I need exercise for a few reasons. It crucial for my weight loss strategy, there is no question that exercise is a critical component to losing weight and getting back into shape. That is an obvious and direct…

Kindly Shut Up!
I mentioned earlier that I was at a friend’s birthday party over the weekend, and it was a lovely day… that was marred by my friend trying to get me to eat something that I should not eat. In this particular case, he was telling me how good the blood sausage was. I told him…
