Day 350: 270 lbs

I'm mildly miserable today. I've got some sort of upper respiratory bug, and I really shouldn't be at work. But stuff has to get done, so here I am....at least for a couple more hours.

I gained a pound yesterday, and went about 1,000 calories over my 1,500 calorie quota. Going over quota was entirely due to a single moment of weakness (okay, a few minutes of weakness) when I had an extra portion at dinner. But I did measure and record everything I ate....

I blame my illness for succumbing to temptation. Well, maybe not entirely, but being distracted by a headache, sore throat, and stuffy nose doesn't help. Eating for me isn't about being hungry (if it was, I would very rarely eat anything), its about, I don't know, comfort or something. The pleasure hormones my brain associated with stuff going in my mouth.
