Here we go again!

Why do I have to start this over and over and over! I don't know why I just can't seem to get in the right frame of mind. I'd been doing so well and then I lost it. I decided that I need to do it now! I'm planning a big trip next spring to Australia. Do I want to go there fat? NO!!! Have you ever sat on a plane for 24-30 hours when your fat ass doesn't fit in the seat. Well, I have no intention of doing that! I have a goal of losing 40 pounds or so by April. I'd like to be down to at least 220 if not lower but I don't think that's possible in 6 months. It should be though ... I should be able to lose 10 lbs a month for a total of 60 lbs which would bring me pretty close to 200. That would make me very happy and have a comfortable trip. Wish me luck!

I decided that I would follow a 1500 cal/day diet. I started off well Sunday and Monday but then Tuesday I had a lunch date and then a dinner date with friends as well. Wednesday, I had a dinner date as well. Boy, am I glad that's over with. I didn't do too badly on Wednesday ... I even at a chicken salad for dinner with a glass of water (no beer :( which I love) but then everyone was having dessert so I had a lemon tart with blueberries/whipped cream. I don't think it had all that many calories. Then I came home and started to binge. Why? The only thing I can think of is that since I had the tart, I figured I blew it, might just as well enjoy myself. This truly is a head game.

Anyway, I'm really hoping I can stick with it this time .... I need to get on that plane!!!
