at an impasse…
So, this is my first post as a FatBlogger! I am currently at 207 pounds and I can’t seem to get past that. I tend to hover (can a fat person “hover?”) at 205.
I can give you lots of reasons why I am not winning the battle of the bulge –
-
big portions
snacking
no exercise
lack of sleep
being a couch potato watching the boob-tube
not enough water and too much caffeine
minimal motivation
no time
too many excuses
and more…
I was, at one point late last year, at the brink of breaking the 200 mark — I weighed in at 201 and was doing so well! And then I couldn’t tell you what happened… it just happened… and I was up at 205-ish again.
I weigh myself just about every morning just to see if there is any change… and somehow think that I’ll feel better psychologically if I am anywhere less than 207. I know full well that +/- 5 pounds is really just “water-weight” and not worth counting. I need to be able to lose pounds at an even, consistent rate…
Thus, it begins… my first goal is to get down to or break 200 pounds. I want to do that by the end of this month - March.
And then we’ll move on from there. I’ll check in with progress notes from time-to-time and provide my official weigh-ins on Mondays.

Those are my excuses as well, Pete. I’m not motivated, but here at least I hope to stay accountable. When I start feeling better, I think the motivation will pick up.
Thanks for the great post. I look forward to reading more.

1 word - Exercise
I’ve also started drinking green tea instead of coffee. Surprisingly, I don’t miss the coffee that much.

doug… you’re probably not missing the caffeine because you may be taking in nearly as much caffeine drinking green tea than you were with coffee.
but I do like me some green tea also!
