Slow and Steady...

I'm back! And I'm holding at 232.  I'm okay with this because for the last week or so I've been eating "normal", which means not too much junk but not watching what I eat too closely. So the fact that I haven't gained is relieving.  I had a great time with my sister and her family and now that I'm back I can jump into my routine again.

I've been writing in my food journal, and yes I'm including the good, the bad and the ugly because I want to be accountable for what I'm doing rather than looking the other way.  It's quite obvious to me what my weaknesses are: chocolate things, salty things and starchy/cheesy things.  Combine my years of habitually eating those types of foods with no exercise and duh...no wonder I'm in this predicament.  As I've always said there's noone to blame but me.  And maybe that's the hardest part-knowing that not only do I do this to myself but I'm the only one who can stop it.  I may as well be standing in a corner, repeatedly hitting myself with a stick.

Anyway, I don't mean to sound bitter, I'm just getting frustrated with myself.  Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things.  I can see my path but am not quite able to run down it...yet.
