Today, I officially weigh the most I ever have at 277.4 lbs. What kind of diet am I on? Evidently - None. The results are self evident. This needs to be my wake up call. I can’t go on living and feeling the way that I do. I am torn between using the low-carb diet which I know will work in the short term or go back on Weight Watchers which also provides results but has been hard for me to stick with in the past.

I am embarrassed, ashamed and frustrated all at the same time. Even working out in the yard doesn’t seem to budge the scales in my favor. I am eating the wrong things, at the wrong times and exercise with the exception of grass mowing is non-existent. Suggestions are encouraged

I guess the main reason for me being overweight is my unwillingness to grasp the idea that I take in more calories than I burn. I read all of these diet books that say to take your current calorie consumption and reduce it by 500 calories per day. Just how the heck are you going to figure that out when I never eat the same way twice and have no idea what my daily calorie intake is. I do know that over the course of a week I am consuming probably 7000 calories more than I should or at least it seems that way with a 2 pound gain a week.

I guess I need to get real and count each flex point and stay on track to start losing. It’s basically been a free for all lately, a anything goes mentality and it is showing quite well around my waist line. I am even to the point that I don’t bother weighing myself because I don’t want to depress myself anymore than I already am.

Right under my name is one of my favorite sayings “If you fail to plan then you plan to fail”. This is so true in Weight Loss that it is not even funny. The past week, I have failed to plan and thus when I get up each morning I am scrambling to find something to eat and it is usually the wrong thing.

Tomorrow, I am going to the grocery store and will choose better foods for the upcoming week. It’s only too late to start when you have given up.
