Day 54: 290 lbs

After two and a half weeks, my weight is finally back down to the low point recorded on Oct. 2nd. I think I may finally be back on track with this diet.

Just as important, my weight now matches what's on my new drivers' license. This is very important, you see...

These past two weeks have been the most difficult in my diet so far, failing to lose weight and not knowing why. That's very frustrating, and on previous diets I would have abandoned before getting through this time.

I'm still not sure what happened, but my working theory is that I was taking small nibbles of stuff and forgetting I'd eaten anything. Do that enough, and it adds up to a meaningful number of calories.

But to me, the scary thing is that I might eat something and completely forget I'd done it. That's a pretty serious case of being betrayed by your own mind.
