Well lets see hmmmmm where do I begin? I've kind of fallen off the wagon again, and I'm having a hard time getting back to where I was before when I first began. I got a deal from 7-11 like 3-4 days ago where it was buy two 2L pepsi's for $4 so I figured I had been a good boy and I thought I'd splurge abit ........ well that was not a good idea and I'm very much regretting it now. I also was not sure what to havefor lunch today so I made Myself an entire box of mac 'n cheese. Talk about too much at one time ~ I definately regret that because it was just WAYYYYYY more than I've been used to and I felt yucky after having eaten so much.

I really need to plan out My meals better especially since My parents are only home during the weeknights, Saturday evenings and Sunday's. With working at their floral shop and being so busy sometimes, the only one who ever seems to be home is Me and My sister. Since they eat at the shop, I am going to have to be the one to plan My own meals; My dad used to get kinda pissy when I bought My own food and didnt share (he still does actually) but really if I'm the one needing to be losing the weight and I'm really the only one home most of the time what right does he have to complain? Time for Me to start taking care of Me, regardless of whether he likes it or not I am a big boy and have to do what is best for Myself.

Time to get back on the wagon ........ no more falling off !!!!!!!!!
Hey Matthew! i think you checking in and being honest is fantastic.

Just a suggestion. Have you ever tried writing down in a notebook everything you eat and drink in a day and why you are feeling the need to eat/drink it? This is what I did and it opened my eyes so much. I was taking in calories that, at the weight I was, would make me gain...rapidly. Its really amazing how much we can eat and not know it. I was drinking iced coffee also twice a day, that added about 300 calories to my day.

If you need anyone to talk to feel free to PM me. I've been to hell and back with my weight since I was 8 yrs old. Been almost 400 pounds once, when I was 18. Its tough and I understand.
