Day 260: 270 lbs

I stuck to my diet yesterday, and I was mostly good. I had to estimate some calorie counts, and I probably ate a little more than I logged. But I managed to avoid most temptation, and I've now been on my diet for a full week without slipping off it.

I was very tempted, though, in the late afternoon. But I resisted. It probably helped that about the same time a friend of mine, who had just gotten out of heart surgery, was complaining that he really wanted a smoke badly.

I've never been interested in that particular vice, but I sure could sympathize with the difficulty in not giving into temptation. So I told him to stick with it, and made an extra effort to avoid my own personal demons.
