Mad As Hell And I’m Not Going To Take It Any More
Those of you who have been paying attention may have noticed that I am having some frustration with yo-yoing back and forth between 213 and 220 over the past few months. I know it may sound like nit picking to many of you but it is getting frustrating to me. Not only am I not at the weight I hoped to get to, I can’t seem to maintain a consistent weight and I am still falling back into a lot of my old eating habits.
At this point I am just plain pissed off at myself. I have managed to compound bad eating decision on top of bad eating decision this week and it is showing up on the scale in a big way. The last three weeks were supposed to be about getting back on track, instead they have become a total derailment.
The sad part is, none of my bad food decisions were actually that bad… but when you start adding them all up , well you know the story.
Here is the deal. There is a lot of crappy stuff going on in the world right now. No one needs to hear me whine about being unable to get my eating under control. So instead of whining lets do something constructive.
Starting tomorrow I am going back to hard core calorie counting. It is something my wife suggested a few weeks ago and I am finally at the end of my rope enough to be ready to resort to desperate measures.
Did I mention I hate counting calories.
But I am taking the calorie counting one step further. I will post daily calorie reports over at my regular site. This scares me. This will be the most open I have been since this whole journey started, but I think it’s what I need.
So seven days a week I will be updating what I am eating…
I will count calories until I can maintain a consistent new low. Lets say three weeks of my weight being at or below 213. Once I can reach that goal, I will allow myself to stop counting calories again.
It’s time to get serious. Grrrrrr!

Tony, I feel your pain. I am now officially the heaviest I have ever been in my life at 277.4 lbs. It seems like I am taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Looking at my eating and exercise patterns it is not hard to figure this out. I too need to journal daily what I am eating and get back on track.
