So I use Livestrong.com to track my food intake and there are some forums or blogs on there. There is one that is for people with 100 or more pounds to lose. One guy on the site has lost 144 lbs in less than a year and is at his goal. He supposedly has never had a slip up since he started. The worst part is that he posts on every comment about his success and how perfect he is. I posted today about how the day after christmas is just a day like any other and if you are waiting to get back or started on weightless until the new year you should consider starting today and get a jump start on those new years resolutions. Of course he is the first to respond how he of course would not crowd out healthy food with bad food and that 144lbs feels so much better than anything would taste.
What a load! Seriously, sure you can be perfect maybe but for how long? And really mom's chocolates and grandmas christmas dinner are worth a few lighter calorie days this week. Maybe at 50 something its different but at 25 dude I'm going to eat some mashed potatoes and my mom's chocolates. And you know what its fine. I own it. I make that choice just like today I made the choice to go right back to eating like I know I should.
What I'm saying is that you can't be perfect all the time and pretending that you are-dude on Livestrong- is not helping anyone. Seriously if I had to go into this thinking that I had to be perfect or it will not work I don't know if I would have gotten started.
So Livestrong guy let me know where you are 3 years from now. Still perfect?

Heading into the holidays
Hi guys still here. Well its been so long since I wrote but I am still going strong.
I had a wonderful time on vacation and tho I ate too much I was at the same weight when I came back as I was when I left so it must have evened out somewhere. I am currently down to 165 I had dropped as low as 163 so I'm up a bit but I will be back there soon.
I am somehow stuck still at size 12 my goal is to be an 8 I will get there but I wish I wasn't wasting so much money on clothes at the wrong size-with the holidays and just life I have had to get a bunch of new stuff that I actually really like. Did you know that when you lose weight your feet will get smaller? Well I sure did not! All the high heals I had been waiting until I was smaller to wear as my feet would have less pressure are actually falling off when I step. I know what a terrible problem but I can't stand spending more money on clothes. So I will make due with what I have. Maybe santa will get me some gift cards.
I know alot of bloggers have talked about a similar issue before but I just have to put out there how uncompfortable I still am when people notice my weightloss. If it is in private its not so bad. I ran into my old boss last week and I had lost 80lbs since seeing him and so he of course noticed and asked me in the most polite way he could what I had been doing. It was weird but just fine. What really bothers me is when people say it around people that I have met recently or only half way through my process. UGH I just wish that they would not have to find out that I used to be so big. I guess it is just something I will have to deal with. I will not take down all the pics of me from before on facebook otherwise there would be no pics of me so there is a record for anyony with the internet I guess. I hope it will get less emberassing the smaller I get.
Holidays are so soon and I am ready.
Game plan that works for me

Game plan that works for me
- Enjoy the meal not the season.
- Never bring leftovers home
- Bring a dish that is on the healthy side so you can fill up on that
- Snack on the way so you are not starving
- Resume real life eating as soon as possible
