Day 28: 297 lbs

No change in weight from yesterday.

Being back at home seems to mean no more hyper-low-calorie days. It seems to be harder to keep exact track of what I eat when I'm at home, because home-cooked food doesn't come in nicely packaged portions. I stuck to my 1,500 calorie quota yesterday, which is good, but not the under-1,000 calories I did a couple days on my trip.

Perhaps I'm being a little too eager about losing weight, if a reasonable 1,500 calorie quota doesn't seem like doing enough. After all, 1,000 calories a day is basically starvation, and it isn't healthy.

Tonight will be a different challenge: the family is going to the Chinese Buffet for dinner again, and this time there's no way for me to beg out. I'll just have to stick to soup and salad. This will be tough, though, since I really love all those deep-fried foods.
