Day 504: 279 lbs

My weight didn't change since yesterday, and it was a so-so diet day. I stuck to my quota of 1,500 calories, but some of my portions were mildly underestimated; so I probably (in reality) went a bit over quota.

Portion control is always the bugaboo.

I am proud of one thing yesterday: I had to go a reception around dinnertime, the kind of event where someone shoves a tray of very tasty (and caloric) finger-food under your nose every five minutes for an hour and a half. I decided before I got there that I wasn't going to eat anything, and by golly, I did not eat one single calorie during the entire reception.

This was a huge piece of temptation-resistance.

It gets easier with practice, I'm told.
