It's time to get this post out of the way- I'm tired of wallowing in self-pity.
On Halloween, I spent 10 hours in the back seat of a truck with my in-laws. We ate nothing but crap the entire day, and I have to spend the entire week making up for it.
Long story short, a Pumpkin Pie shake from Jack in the Box has 800 calories and 40 grams of fat - for their smallest size.
I took a long walk yesterday and thought a lot about what exactly I want from this weight loss, and how exactly I'm going to get it. I thought about why I was so successful in the beginning and now I simply seem to be spinning my wheels, more or less. The exercise is helping (a lot) but I'm simply not in strict-enough control of my eating.
So I'm going back to the basics.
Saying "no thank you" to anything offered to me - I didn't plan on eating it earlier, so I'm not eating it now.
Sticking to water.
Not having one piece of candy (granted, this should be easier now that my co-worker's desk isn't littered with the brightly-colored treats.)
Gawd, I'm going to be 185 at the end of this year, and I'm looking forward to it :)
