Bad: I've gained back 5 of my 17 over the last 6 weeks. It took me like 6 months to loose it in the first place, then had a little stall, then the gain. I'm so pissed at myself! Plus the holidays are coming...I may even have to get Dr Phil's book to psycho-analyze myself about why I've been eating all that crap! It's not just eating, either - it's drinking. Have to cut way down on that.

Good: I am not hopelessly discouraged. I'm not even a little discouraged. I know exactly what I did wrong, and I need to think about how I felt last spring when I was loosing it. I felt awesome! I was able to buy the junk the kids like and stay away from it then, why can't I do it now? (I am trying to get the kids off the junk, but they're resisting most of my efforts).

Better: Today is the day I get serious again! Just had a b-day yesterday, and ate everything I wanted (bread, martinis, CAKE, Pringles, MILK, that's about it). Got a new MP3 player for a gift, and will use it to run with - I always run better with tunes. It's a BEAUTIFUL DAY out there today, so I will get the kids off their butts and we'll do yard work for a couple of hours (DH) is off the hook cuz the Red Sox and Pats are on tv at the same time. I am slightly hungover this morning, but that's ok, I won't be tomorrow and I'll start my running program then.

Well, glad I got that off my chest. Thanks for listening.

Good attitude, Diane. I had a junk food day today. But, time to move on.

I think I want a new MP3 player for my birthday. My old one is 5 years old - quite an antique.
