The small victories lately have turned into a mess. I admit I haven't done very well since my trip to Space Camp.
At Space Camp I ate with the kids and didn't do my shakes and normal routine. And then I didn't do my normal routine this past weekend. To top that I had lunch out on Monday afternoon and Tuesday I had an all day class and ate with them. And in both cases with lunch I ate too much. Today I pay.
Last night's weigh in was my highest since August or September and my morning weigh in was the highest it has been in a while. The weigh ins were 268 and 263 respectively. Not good. Not good at all.
One thing that disappoints me is the fact I have been clearing my plate. Even when I'm no longer hungry and don't need the food. This is not good. I'm afraid I'll end teaching my children bad habits. I try not to make them clear their plate only to earn a dessert or something. Why do we make children eat more than they should only to reward them with dessert?
My habits and how I run my life have such strong influences on my children. I need to be smarter than that.

Sorry you are having a harder time right now with this. It sure reminds you what a battle it is, and how much of a life change it is. No wonder diets fail so much of the time! Here you are so focused and paying such close attention and it is still hard. Sounds like your daily weigh ins help keep you on track. Keep going Adam! You can do this! You have done a great job so far! Just the fact that you are aware of what is happening is HUGE in the way of success.
adam...you are going to get back on track...you will..I know it!
this deal of losing weight is so hard and takes so much focus..if only we could celebrate the good weigh-ins and just see the weigh-ins where we are up some pounds as just part of the process..
our friend, joe, who had to lose weight following his by-pass surgery helps keep me focused by telling me with some authority in his voice that if I gain a little bit because of an extra splurge that it will go off me in a few days...and when I get back on track that is exactly what I find..
ups and downs are going to be part of this process...just keep going and you will reach the finish line..
we are all cheering for you and I am so very proud of you for the determination and discipline you have.....
