You know, hearing about your journey is really motivating me to try harder. I know itās extremely difficult to maintain progress, Iāve been through ups and downs with weight myself (currently in a downā¦sigh). But remember, people have jumped over hurdles just as high as yours, and then some. Keep it going!

Just read your story. Canāt say I read every post, but I read every one you wrote. I wish you the best. You CAN do it. Just remember how good you felt when that number was going down. (Iām working on much more modest goals myselfā¦)

October 25, 2017 Thursday 393. 4 lbs (when I check my weight I check it 3 times to make sure Iām getting a true value). This food addiction is so embarrassing. I tell myself "I will, I will, I will and then when the time comes I donāt. But itās easier not to because that 1st step has a ādomino effectā. When I do āthisā then I should be doing āthatā alsoā¦

Well there was no weight gain, so that on itās own is a sort of progress. Some random things that Iāve been doing that may or may not help you:
Thinking about food when you know you shouldnāt eat? Chew Gum or find something to distract yourself.
Leave sticky notes around in places which you normally decide to get food or look for food when bored like your computer desk, TV remote, fridge door or pantry.
I keep a chart of my previous weight gain rate. So that not only am I comparing myself to where I think I should be given my diet, but also where I expect that I would be if I havenāt been dieting.
Keep at it MTandy, weāre rooting for you!

Iām getting back on the weight loss wagon, been a while since I returned to the dark side of indiscriminate inhalation of caloric fodder. As part of it Iāve also decided to do a weight loss bet through Healthy Wager which pays out a cash prize when you successfully meet your goals (over $1000 for me). A little cash incentive wonāt hurt, plus you have to put a little in, so thereās a bit of added incentive to succeed.
If anyone is curious Iād be happy to answer questions, or if you join with me we both get $40 added to our payouts, I can refer folks for the first week (until 11/19).
@mtandy, rooting for you. Weāve both got a long way to go, but it is attainable, and the end result will be well worth the struggle. I hope November is going well for you and look forward to your next update.
