Losing a part of me

Mitch's quest to lose weight… a lot of it.

  • Day 578

    Today is the day that I am going to get back on track. I have been asked to audit a class this week (one that I have taught many times before) which means that I will be sitting at my desk all week during the day, in addition to teaching Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings.

  • Day 577

    I had an epiphany last night. Wednesday my buddy came over. We talked about food… and I started falling off the program day after day. I went to his house yesterday and we once again talked about food. I fell off the program worse. I think the first thing I have to do is stop

    I cannot seem to get back on track. At least it is not as bad as it could be, but I am still unable to get through the afternoon without preparing a second omelette for myself. I will try to do better today, but it is Saturday… weekends tend to be challenging because I do

  • Day 575

    I was terrible yesterday… or at least I cheated and had to pay the price for it this morning. I could not ignore my hunger in the late afternoon, and I went down to my car to get the rest of the peanuts I had purchased the previous day. I left them in the car

    It’s not fair. Yes, I cheated yesterday. I had a few peanuts, as well as replacing my afternoon meal replacement with another omelette. My body’s punishment to me was nearly a full pound weight gain. That is not only excessive, but it is also cruel and unusual. There is no reason I should have gained

  • Day 573

    Despite a small cheat yesterday afternoon I was able to wake up this morning and cross a number off on my fridge. Again, it is borderline… but 258.0 is lower than yesterday’s 258.2, and I need the motivation this week. A small victory might just be the success I need to get through the week.

  • Day 572

    Yesterday was a better day than the previous day. I only hope that I can keep up my spirits today. For some reason I am not feeling confident of that as I sit here writing my peace. I am going to try to stay productive today and stay focused on my goal of not eating.

  • Day 571

    Today will be better than yesterday. I wrote last night that I was having a very difficult time of it. I was down and depressed with no motivation to do anything other than binge-watch reruns of old television programs. It was weird though; I was not completely out of sorts, I was just… blah. I

  • Maybe Today is Just a Hard Day

    **I am writing this entry for many reasons, but part of it is because it might be easy for most of my readers to think that I am always upbeat, even when I am failing. I try to maintain a positive mindset. Today I am failing, but that is okay… tomorrow will be better. It

  • Day 570

    Wow did I fail miserably last night. I also paid the price this morning on the bathroom scale. I do not know what it is that makes me think that I can just have one chip… It was not just a chip. I arrived at the get together as I had planned, having just finished
