Day 196

Shame has made me late on this entry.

Well, that and the fact that my work has sucked up every little bit of “urgency” in my life at the moment. 

Grrr.

Anyway! Shame. We were talking about shame.

You see, strange things happen when you have to attend the birthday party of a five-year old. Things like potato chips that must have been laced with crack and social obligations for after-party mingling with adults at local sushi restaurants.

It’s not fair. Sushi should be safe.

Then again, two sushi rolls plus an order of Lo Mein…

Okay, it makes sense.

There’s a reason I am not yet rejoicing as to what seems to be a steady-ish slope down of weight-loss. I’m very well aware that it apparently only takes ONE good meal for me to be up at 200 again. One day of eating one meal without thinking about calories and BOOM.

I do count myself lucky that, on the grand scale of things, weight gained in that way has proven to be temporary – so far. I’m down a pound from where I was last week. And while that is not as good as being down THREE pounds (which would have been the best of the best goal) it is still something.

Besides. I am hopeful that I’ll be down a grand total of two tomorrow.
