Get Back on Track

This morning’s weigh-in was, not surprisingly, disappointing. I was unable to undo the damage that occurred over the week. So here I sit, remorseful, 2 pounds heavier than I was a week ago.

But, like I said, there’s nothing I can do now but learn from it. Punishing myself will only lead to shame>overeating>more weight gain.

The two things I know are that I didn’t track that well and that I drank too much coffee, so that’s what I need to work on this week. Also, Lindt Chocolate and Dunkin’ were unhelpful.

Maybe I should be realistic and limit myself to three coffees while I’m home. I won’t be home much longer anyway, as I’ve found two part time jobs in retail, for the interim until my surgery. It’s not a whole lot of hours, but at least I’ve got something.

I went off on this impossibly long tangent about my skin, redheaded women, Social Darwinism, and the purpose of a blog post. It was potentially three different posts. I cut all of it. You’re welcome.

I’m going to try not to go off on tangents from now on. That’s basic writing 101 and I’m using my ADHD as an excuse to do little more than engage in public free association.

Maybe structuring my writing will generalize to organizing other aspects of my life, such as tracking better, limiting coffee, time management, etc. You never know.
