Feeling really dark today. I keep bouncing back up and up. Haven't been able to maintain any sort of diligence or determination for more than a week. I'm almost back to 200 and I swore never to return. I feel hopeless.
Not hopeless. I never actually feel hopeless. I spent 2 hours this morning writing about how I wasn't helpless or hopeless and maybe some of that will stick. But oh I'm sad today.
This time I'm treating this like an addiction. Going to avoid temptation. Identify triggers and deal with them one at a time. Establish a rewards system for good behavior. Create small attainable tangible goals.
Something has to work!

You have a plan that is great - identify and avoid triggers and liberally employ rewards. It is just not easy to stay on a diet long term, lose weight or maintain. It is disappointingly impermanent. It's taken me a long time to fully admit to myself that I have a problem with food, and especially *some* foods. I read in one of Dr. Atkins' books, "if you have a weight problem, you have a weight problem for life." I didn't want to accept that at the time, but it started opening my eyes. Dr. Atkins had a weight problem himself that he had to keep in check and managed to do so by avoiding those triggers. You're on your way and you'll be looking at a green line soon!
