You only fail if you give up. I didn’t get a chance to weigh myself this morning and I ate good all day. When I hit the scale this evening I was shock to see it at 270.8 lbs. First, I know you weight heavier in the evening than in the morning but this is 5 lbs heavier than the day before. I took it easy last night and can not believe that I gained 5 lbs all in one day.

My scales are new, digital, on a flat surface and never move. I just hope that I can get back down to something close to the 266 lb range just to help my self-esteem. Thoughts of giving up ran thru my mind for a couple of minutes but I kept focusing on Monica from work. Hey Monica - I told you I would do this and you know I cheated and I promised to get back to it.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day and for days to come.

If feeling bloated was not enough last night, I finished the dirty deed by going out with co-workers for lunch to a Chinese buffet. I am ok now but just feeling a little bit down for having slipped. Actually, it wasn’t a slip. I willfully went and purposely ate with a Devil may care attitude anything and everything I wanted.

It was 30 minutes of bliss and hell all rolled into one. The bliss was the ability to eat anything I wanted. The hell was knowing that this was taking me further from my goal and not towards it. I’ll watch it tonight and be on track.

Weight: 266.6 lbs
