Again. I’ve got to lose weight. My pants are getting tight again and I’m not buying a bigger size. I lost a bunch of weight once and bought smaller clothes, I’m not going back, period. I went to the grocery store today and bought all protein. Back to Akins or South Beach. I’ve also started walking the dog more. More short trips instead of a one long walk, which was hard to get motivated for. Several short walks gets me out of the house and gives me a break from the computer. I actually feel better and can work longer.

There are all kinds of weight loss schemes, scams and programs. I’ve done it before on Atkins, but get to a certain point and start getting back to eating too much. Buffets will be the death of me. I can’t eat just a little bit. If I paid for it, I’m eating what’s on my plate. If it’s a buffet, I’m eating till I can’t eat any more. Great huh? If I get a regular meal at a restaurant and ask for a to go box, it takes forever for the waitperson to come back if they even remember at all. I’ve asked for a to go box when I place my order, but they always forget and I have to ask again.

This time I didn’t buy bread or even tortillas for sandwiches. No bread or cereal at all. Lots of water. When I’m working and get hungry, more like I think I’m getting hungry and want to eat, I’ll drink a bunch of water and I’m fine for awhile. Between more walks and more water, we’ll see how it works this time.
