I can't read and move at the same time...I get motion sickness 
The good news about your post is that you can see what needs to happen to them---and you're doing it for yourself. A lot of times we learn a crap load more from people doing the wrong things than the people doing the right things. So brava to you for recognizing the problem!

now Aint that the truth!
I know for a fact that i will never fail in this diet because ive changed. I now look at the idiot i was and wonder why on earth i didnt do this before. If only i knew then what i knew now!
And what makes it worse is that i was teaching my kids the same bad habits. I was in denial! I used to go to the malls and snigger at fat people thinking 'i might be fat but at least im not as fat as her'. Only the current me looks at photos and goes 'OH MY GOD WAS I BLIND!' I was probably fatter! I cant believe i kidded myself and lied to myself so much.
I always prided myself on being very honest with myself - oh boy was i wrong!
Now when i see somebody overweight walking down the street i want to walk up to them and give them a darned good shaking up and teach them a few things!
This is why i know that i cannot possibly fail. Because ive changed - im not that fat person on the inside anymore. Im not kidding myself into thinking such utter crap.
Just to throw in another few ways i kidded myself so we can all have a laugh
1) I thought fat but my fat was proportionally spread so i didnt look as fat (pft!)
2) I knew i was fat but thought i was pretty active and fit for a fat person
3) I ate pretty healthy most of the time (sure i did, i just ate enough for 4 healthy people!)
4) I only ever bought stretchy clothes because they would stretch to my size so i could buy a size smaller, then as they stretched i would tell myself 'oh look how baggy they are now - i must have lost weight!' ( i now own a couple of pairs of non stretch pants!)

It's funny how we can completely convince ourselves that everything is honky dory. (do you have that phrase in NZ?) I do believe that I've thought every single one of those things that you did. "I'm fat but pfft look at her!" "OMG how did he let himself get that fat" "Oh, she'd be so pretty if she lost weight" How dumb was I! I guess it's easy to make yourself believe that everyone else is doing something wrong and 'at least you're not as bad as them' kind of mentality.
Stretchy pants are a wonderful invention...that and elastic waists.

For anyone who doesnt know me - im a computer geek - like hard core linux user. Ive setup several ISPs mailserver webservers bandwidth providers, i program for 'fun' etc.
Anyway I run my own mail server and every now and again somebody gets the email address wrong and of course i have a catchall (if user doesnt exist it just sends it to me) and i get the odd email meant for somebody else. Somebody sent this in an email to me and i had to have a chuckle.
When you're hard out counting calories, exercising, and weighing in sometimes you forget to do the fun things ...
If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it's in your best interest, practice obedience. !
Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout
... run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
And this week ive lost another 1.6kg this week (about 3.5lb)

apon re-reading that i was thinking they forgot things like
Slobber all over everyone!
Hump total strangers legs
Piss in the pot plants
I didnt sleep well last night so got up at 9.30am this morning had 2 pieces of toast. Went and helped a friend move desks then went swimming and now its like 4.22pm and i havnt eaten anything. I have like 1000 calories to eat in one meal. I figure what better way to make up 1000 calories in one meal but to treat myself to KFC!
Havnt had that in ages and i wont even be breaking a calorie sweat! lol

Thanks you guys soo much.
Im on a roll posting today - nuts!
I just noticed im now 'Member' status - woot!
Hows this for a great food diary ... (its not an everday occurance but its funny for a one off)
So i had my 2 pieces of toast for breakfast at about 10am when i got up. I picke up some desks with a friend from the other side of the city. She bought a chocolate bar to get change for a $20 note so we went 3rds in that. I got home about 2pmish. Then we went swimming and got home at 4 at which time i was starting to feel hungryish.
Realising i had only eaten 260 calories so far that day i thought 'sweet! 1000 calories to burn for dinner! KFC'
So i ate 2 pieces of chicken(breast and drumstick 526cal) and a cup and half of fries(232 cal) and realized i was absolutly full and couldnt fit any more in. So i was still about 200 calories shy of my 1200...
Anyway husband went down the shop about 8pm and got me another chocolate bar which made up my calories.
So in 1 day i had KFC and chocolate and was still struggling to make up calories haha
now THATS my kinda diet lol.
Oh well back to the daily struggle tomorrow. I think ill pickup some lettuce and have a salad for lunch tomorrow.

Nice shirt, wishes! It's a good thing we don't have KFC over here - there's enough temptations already. Fortunately living five miles away from civilization, i.e. the nearest supermarket and fast food joint, makes it easier to make the good decisions. And with the price you have to pay for gas nowadays you'd have to be really hungry to justify the trip.
