Some months ago, I posted an entry about my current behemoth status.
In that post, I laid out a goal and a plan.
The goal is still present, though the plan quickly withered on the vine.
Fast forward to today.
Today, I weigh this much:

This is, unfortunately, a big difference from where I had hoped to be (this much, actually):

(No, I’m no afraid of octopi. Just squid. Yes, I have my reasons, but they are as irrational as the fear itself– so let’s just accept it and move on.)
But, I’ve got a new plan I’ve put into action.
I’m using the fitness room at our apartment complex to get daily exercise.
I’m paying a little more attention to what I eat.
We’ll see how long I stay on this ol’ wagon this time.

A good plan.
Something I find helps me is to examine my need to eat something whenever I reach without thinking – am I actually hungry, or am I bored/stressed/in need of comfort? Helps me go back to viewing food as physical nourishment rather than a coping strategy.
Now if I could just do more yoga…

Good luck. The dh & I have both stepped on the scale recently & been – um – dismayed at the numbers displayed. His explanation – he’s an “old guy who gets fat in winter” and will take off the pounds during bicycle season. True enough. Me – I eat on the road all the time… And the girl scout cookies arrived last week…
