Hmmm 
So what goes into a weight loss diary? I mean, I've kept food diaries before. Or should I say "a" food diary. Singular. It was high-frills and it was with Fooddiary.com. It was fabulous. Honestly, It's the reason lost the 12 pounds that I did last year. I didn't realize just how much crap I was eating or how many calories I was practically inhaling ("oh... bored day at work. Might as well grab a bag of Doritos and a 20 ounce Code Red Mountain Dew!"). Alas, I couldn't continue to pay 9 bucks a month on top of credit card bills, student loan payments, rent, car insurance payments, utilities, etc.
So I understand that whole thing. But my weight loss progress has been slow and basically non-existent. Since about January I haven't really lost. I keep bouncing back up from 204 to 208. It's driving me crazy but I know it's because I'm not taking a serious enough approach to this. For example, I sit down for Sunday brunch. I order eggs, bacon, whole wheat toast and homefries. I know that homefries are the death of that meal. Eggs aren't all that great for you, but they do having some redeeming qualities (protein, for one). Bacon. Okay. You might be hard pressed to find the silver line to the swine. But potatoes are just the worst! Hundreds of unnecessary calories... and I know I'll be full before I even finish the toast. But I keep eating because hey.. I grew up poor and you just don't throw away perfectly good food when you know there are folks who would kill and maim to get what you're preparing to toss away.
LOL, I'm off to a good start I think!
