I managed to keep the binge eating to a minimum yesterday in spite of all the catering that came in.
It's very hard to have will power when there is a tray of 100 cookies on your desk!
I have lost 5 lbs! But this is the same 5 I have lost at least 3 times before.
I have to remind myself that in the last year I have lost 26 lbs, so I'm not doing that badly, I could be a lot larger, and I don't have to achieve this in the next week!

Had a really good day yesterday, but I've had good days before. My difficulty seems to be in stringing together good days.
Is it possible to 12 step a diet? One day at a time.
It would require some rearrangement of the Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity to accept the cellulite I cannot move,
The courage to eat the salads I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference between chocolate and lettuce.
Piece o...

Fell off the wagon with a hell of a thump the last few weeks. Goes to show that I'm an emotional eater. The more stressed or upset I am, the more I eat. To be fair, I eat when I'm bored, stressed, angry, sad, hungry, watching tv, and have even been known to get up for a box of crackers and eat those while I'm half asleep.
I eat.
I did a 12 pose yoga practice last night, and a 10 minutes of cardio, with 5 minute warm up.
We are gettin...

Day 3. I know I'm not really supposed to weigh myself every day, but I woke up this morning feeling great, so jumped on the scale-and-------I've lost 3lbs!
This is amazing, it also goes to show just how out of kilter my diet had become, I'm not doing much more exercise than I usually do, but even in three days, I've been forced to realize that my food choices mostly consisted of two things.
-carbohydrates
-fats
I've always reached for the easiest, instant gratif...

I have set the goal of spending four days on an solo hiking/camping trip in Banff park. If I don't do it next summer, when will I?
I'm going to start including stairs in my exercise program (which I hate), so I will be better able to handle the steep inclines.
I'm not setting a weight goal for this, just a general fitness level that will allow me to hike comfortably, without feeling that I'm hauling a load of fat around.
I've pre-prepared all my food for toda...

Ok, so here I am. First time as a public dieter. I've always hidden my attempts to lose weight, the same way I hid my eating binges.
You can't fail at dieting if nobody knows you're even trying.
Fought with my weight my whole life, terrible body image in general.
In the last two years I've given up smoking, meat and drinking. So gaining some control of my eating habits seems to be the next logical step.
I'm also single for the first time in 22 years,...
