Day 496: 280 lbs

Yesterday was my third successful diet day in a row. I'm almost thinking that I need to keep track of them--but then I need to figure out what to call it. "Resurgence" was dorky. "Renewal" is a brand of casement windows.

Whatever.

The diet went reasonably smoothly yesterday, though I did get a little nibbly in the afternoon. Fortunately, I had a supply of healthy snacks (veggies and apples) in the office fridge for satiating my oral fixation without too many calories. I ended the day about 20 calories above my 1,500 calorie quota--which isn't a significant overage in itself, but it is a bad precedent to be setting.

Recall how my diets tend to end by sliding faster and faster down a slippery slope.

So my goal for today is to both stick to my diet and be not a single calorie over my quota.
