Losing weight is tough business. Keeping it off is tougher.
Life has a way of beating you down and most times it comes when you least expect it. Stress at work, stress in life and just general bad mojo led to me being a little lazy. Ok, a lot lazy.
I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and weigh 200 pounds. I am most unhappy about this. Mostly I am because I feel I've failed in a way, but then again I know we're all human and we can't always maintain things easily.
This is why I will be doing an Operation 15 starting on Wednesday, Dec. 1 and ending January 31. That's two months to shed 15 pounds and I have no doubts I can do it, just like I did with Operation 40, which I lost 62 pounds on from Nov. 2009-April 2010. For that I am still proud because I'm in a better place despite going up to 200 from 185.
A lot of the weight came when I added friend foods again. I also was lax on portion sizes. The list goes on, but I'm going to get more control.
I do think eating a good, fattening meal now and then can be good for you, if only to let your brain know you aren't neglecting yourself too much :) Seriously, I know I can gain control again and hopefully this time keep it off.
So here I go. Time to exercise and watch what I eat. And all of you are along for the ride.

Glad to know you haven't lost ALL your motivation, and that you are still among us....Dad and I were starting to worry never hearing much from you this year. I may join you on this quest starting the 1st of January, since I only want to lose 7 pounds myself.
