I'm feeling angry and frustrated at this point.  I hate hate hate sliding back.  Yet I'm optimistic - hell, even excited!- going forward.  More after the break.


I've plateaued.  I've talked about the fear of plateauing, but when I've lost just over two pounds that in the last month, it's the reality.  I am terrified that I'll never reach get below this.  That I've hit a wall.

But fuck that.  I was 275 with relatively few changes.  I'll tinker now, not give up.

A few changes going forward:

• Drop my daily calorie limit to 2,300 per day.
• Only count caloric debt, not caloric "credit" if I go lower than 2,300 one day.
• Eat out only once per day.  I recently started eating out more, which is not good.
• Measure when possible.  I recently became lazy about using my measuring cup for portions.

Small, reasonable adjustments.  I can do better.
