I just don't want to get discouraged. I know I'm still far from my goal. I'm probably far from where I was just a few months ago. And I feel stupid for fallling off the wagon and giving in to all the SAD foods and treats that have come into the house. It feels like it only took a few weeks of high-fat holiday eating to regain everything I worked so hard to lose!
Oh well. For now, I just need to keep plodding along day by day and take it as a lesson learned.
But even as I write this, I have a freezer right now that is full of ice cream and pizzas and all kinds of tempting junk food.... even more insidious are the calorie-dense vegan cheats I could rationalize away like vegan mayo, oil-free bread, cold cereal, peanut butter. The only way I know to combat all these temptations is to be super-strict with myself and allow NOTHING but potatoes and non-starchy veggies... is that crazy? I hope not, because that's all I got.

It took more than five years, and I kept it off for more than three years...and I gained everything back in six months when I started allowing high fat foods back in. But you seem to be doing real well with what you're doing. And phooey on the scale. How is your energy? That's what I go by. Being calm and cheery, with level-headed energy, and a healthy functioning bowel means easily as much as losing weight.
well, anyway. You're doing great. I'm rooting for ya!
