I weighed myself this morning and found that I'm down to 150.

Then I get to work and there are two cakes for someone's birthday.

I had a very small sliver of confetti cake, which I didn't finish. But I'm about to have Taco Bell for lunch. Today isn't going so well for that healthier diet I'm striving for.

A co-worker of mine is ordering from a wholesale vitamin catalog and offered to let me go in on the order with her. I'm ordering three items, one of which is called "Heavy Metal Detox". I hope she doesn't ask me about it, but if she does, I'll tell her I've been taking in too much iron.

or that you're worried about your tuna having high mercury?

I wouldn't worry so much about it. Better to eat poorly than to have a substance abuse relapse. Don't try to do too much at once.

Well, I figure if I'm going to improve my health, I might as well really commit myself to that.

Things have been gradual, actually. I cut out my morning cookie(s) a few months ago, which was a good thing. If I can change my coffee to tea, that'd be an improvement. And if I start bringing my lunch instead of ordering out every day, that'd be even better.

Bringing your lunch has the advantage of being cheaper, too.

That's the one thing I remind myself when I succumb to unhealthy food yet again... better to have a food addiction than a hard drug addiction. Still, I'd rather be thin and fit again.

Ms Novapsyche, I cheat all the time on my diet and still have managed to lose weight. Just do a couple minutes of extra cardio tomorrow, or eat a little bit healthier, and it'll balance itself. I realized the reason I put on so much weight was because there was no balance - I'd just continue to eat those bad things day after day after day after day. It's the repition that does it.
