Found my motivation

When my meds were off I gained weight and got up to 189. About six weeks into the dosage change I am back down to 183.4 without working out or eating differently.  Well, I did cut out some of the sweets I craved so intensely.
I have some friendly competition with a couple of people.  In the next two months we will see who loses the greatest percentage of weight.
I have my 20 year high school reunion coming up in two months and that will have to be my motivation.  I would be perfectly happy with losing 10 lbs.
Because today is a thousand degrees outside and I have put my gym membership on hold, I will do some work indoors at home.  I may get out for a brisk walk once the sun starts to set.
I'll do about 3-5 minutes with my weighted hula-hoop and some work with the balance ball.
It really doesn't help that I ate Cheez-Its for dinner.

I've been bad

Besides the fact that I haven't been to the gym since the second or third week in May, I've been eating crap.
When I'm stressed and depressed I reach for the Ding-Dongs and other such goodies... and binge.
At some point I will get my act together and start working off this fat.
I caught my profile in a window while I was eating lunch outside a restaurant.  It was hideous.  I carry so much of my fat in my belly.  This is both unattractive and unhealthy, I know.
I donated all my fat clothes so it's either live uncomfortably in incredibly tight clothing or lose weight to fit the clothes I have.
I've refuse to weigh myself this week.

Tired, sluggish and fat

I haven't been eating well lately.  I've been eating whatever and too much of it.  I've given in to all my cravings and I think I've survived on pure junk for the past two days.  I can't remember the last fruit or vegetable I had.  I physically and mentally feel gross.
I have this warped mentality, I eat when it's a typical meal time even if I'm not hungry because I think if I don't eat, my body will go into starvation mode and my metabolism will slow.  What the???  If I simply wait another hour I might actually be hungry!  Gasp!
I've got to rediscover my willpower.
