Fell off the wagon for a few weeks. Just eating like shit. Not keeping track of anything in my app. Got back on yesterday. Went over on my calories but my weight has stayed below 200 which I'm grateful for. For my height and build I should be around 170 and I'm recommitting to getting there. As it is I've only really come down from 205 in the few months since I first started using LoseIt.

I know beer is the biggest contributor. I've just got such a taste for it and I'm very bad with moderation when it comes to anything addicting like that. Sugar, soda, just anything that's a "well maybe just one" kind of treat. You know it's never just one but also, the more you consume it regularly the harder it is to say no.

The bright spots though are that I've been exercising more regularly (decided at 35 to try and skateboard again, which is one hell of a workout), and that I've been taking extra steps to make sure I've got healthy food within reach at home or at work. I'm also trying not to overeat. We went to Olive Garden last night for a celebration, and I only had half of my chicken parmigiana because that's how much made me feel full. A less CICO conscious version of me would've eaten all of it because that's what was on my plate. As it is, now I've got tasty leftovers for tonight.

Thanks for your time. I believe I can do better. Root for me, please.

Im rooting for you. In the same boat but for me it’s not beer, it’s sweets. We can do this!
