I think the worst thing we can do is lie to ourselves. I know for many that seems like a falllacy but I believe it to be words to live by. I'm not talking about the blame we do to allieviate the guilt we feel brought on by outside forces. I'm talking about the lies we tell ourselves to justify the behavior we can't except or have a difficult time changing. I have been on and off the diet roller coaster for years. one thing that I have found that helps get me back on track it to just write it all down. It doesn't matter if I am sticking to a specific diet or calories allotment. just be honest with yourself write it down. One cookie from the break room. A coffee from the drive through, an spoonfull of the kids Mac and cheese. Whatever. Even if you don't go as far as to log the actual calories and serving size, write it down. And then look at it. Truly look at it. Did you get it all? Were you honest? Did you omit anything? Because in order to correct the behavior you need to truly see it and understand it. We all eat for different reasons. Yes we eat because we are hungry, but if you are significantly overweight you are definitely eating for additional reasons then hunger. I become infuriated when I see some of those commercials for diet pills that make it look like you have an uncontrollable need to eat. Fostered by some epicenter in your brain. Don't fall into the spiraling decent of blaming everything and anything for your behavior. I'm fat because tend to overeat. Grazing all day on various food items for various reasons. I like it it tastes good. I'm bored I don't know what to do with myself. I'm anxious about something I can't control. I'm fat because my portion sizes are way too large. I want to be sure I get to taste everything at the buffet. I'm fat because I have had very little exercise, I have not put any effort at all into going that extra mile. Be honest!! Once you face the truths then you can begin to modify the behavior. You and only you can do that.

ok well technically day 3. I'm double fisting it here with my calorie count and GHs suggested 8/16 diet. Only I'm probably gonna see more of a 10/14 cause the 8/16 is really hard on days I work. But I do feel a difference in not eating late at night. My schedule often lends itself to late evening dinners that sit in my gut and rot. I don't care how light they are. Managed to make a go of it two days in a row. Today not so well. I'm gonna bust the calorie count too cause I am close and I haven't even eaten dinner yet. but I can still save face and be sure not to eat any later than 7. This was part of my plan prior to the surgery. I didn't eat anything after 8pm. So it fits in. I can't not keep track of what I'm eating though. I'm an overeater, a grazer, and emotional reactor trying hopelessly to stop the melt down. I've spent years learning all about this. Hell I could write a book. Although at this point I fear the ending would be my demise. I've gone to far this time I busted through the gate and was running head on into the abyss and I didn't even care to stop. Haven't figured out why yet, but I have figured it's time to stop. I'm not only a member of the 300 club again I'm a fucking cabinet officer. I can say I literally have never weighed this much in my life. No wonder I'm sick, I'm tred all the time, every joint in my body aches and I can't walk across a parking lot. No surprise, no wonder, and no one else to blame. No grasping for reasons, I eat to much and move to little. No mystery there. No blame game. I just have to turn around and head back the other way. Doesn't matter how long it takes. Doesn't matter how fast I run. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
