Day 495: 281 lbs

I stuck to my diet again yesterday, logging everything I ate and staying under my 1,500 calorie quota. I did get a little peckish right around bedtime, but I solved that with an apple. I also lost a pound, which is nice and encouraging, but I won't get too excited until I start getting to somewhere below 250. Until then I'm mostly just making up for lost ground.

After two days I'm still on the easy part of the diet (or resuming the diet, whatever). I'm at the stage where I'm retraining myself to resist temptation while it's still easy because I don't feel hungry all the time. The hard part will begin sometime around when I get to 270 lbs.

Meanwhile, I still tend to not tell other people when I'm dieting. I guess it just feels like a solitary activity for me--or maybe I'm worried about the office joker who does things like this.
