Yes, 2 weeks back into the eating healthy routine and have done a pretty good job. Have weathered 2 all-you-can-eat buffets and a pig roast with tons of wonderfully terrible and yummy foods and a new product introduction with more food than any one person should be able to eat at one sitting, all without killing what I am trying to accomplish. I have been pretty good about staying between 1,200 and 1,500 calories a day so things are good. I am even walking and lifting weights on a regular basis and getting further and stronger each day. With that said, I am still taking it slow because any way you look at it, I am mortally obese with over 200 pounds to lose.
So that is not even the real temptation I am talking about. The fist day back into it, I had to sit through a cutting on chocolate cake, carrot cake, a bunch of yummy fried appetizers, and sausages and other tasty crap. I did all of this with out a bite. This is a pretty typical day for me; showing customers products and not tasting, doing quality control to make sure a product tastes good or meets specs (like pumpkin cheesecake yesterday), and so on and so on each and every day.
This is my burden I must bare and realize that is I do continue to partake and eat like this, I am really just going to be dead. The ultimate price for being a big tub of goo. I am not trying to be dramatic or fluff this up; this is serious business here. I have probably already done permanent and serious damage to my body and mind that I will have to pay for over the rest of my life. My best friend died at 34, so I have been around for a while since he passed. I feel that if I do die tomorrow, I have done pretty good so I have no regrets.
But I am not giving up and am striving to lead a healthier lifestyle. I just need a little more support from the home front and want her to start with me as well so she can be around with me for a long time!
Only weighing in once a month so I will weigh in on Saturday, September 15. Right now it is not about the pounds, but limiting food, exercising, and making better choices of what goes in my mouth!
Ciao for now.
