Day 493: 285 lbs

I tried yesterday, I really tried.

I was doing really well--I resisted the temptation of samples at the grocery store, among other things. Then my wife and I went to a movie, and I broke down and had some popcorn halfway through.

That was failure to resist temptation #1, but it wasn't the end of the diet for the day.

The end came when my parents invited the whole family out for a Chinese dinner. Just not enough calories left for the day. And like that, poof, diet was over.

They say that resisting temptation is a skill which has to be practiced like any other. So I need to get back in practice, I guess.
