Plus, it’s always nice to indulge occasionally. Makes you remember that what you’re doing is for -you-, and nobody else. Even in my youth, I’ve discovered that nearly anything can be enjoyable when you remind yourself who’s in control (provided that person is you).

Thanks, Bryon. And yeah, it’s definitely a “one day at a time” sort of scenario, otherwise I’d go insane. I’m still looking at needing to drop between 250 and 275 pounds to reach my target weight, and I’m not the kind of guy who can set five pound goals. So I just keep chugging away, and when I mess up, I mess up… and then I get my Size 6XL backside in gear and back on course.

That’s the right attitude, Simon. Wearing the hair shirt or flogging yourself mentally and emotionally will only make it harder to achieve your goal. “One day at a time” is, I believe, the appropriate method. (My wife is gone for three days to a conference; let’s not talk about what I ate today. I probably pushed up the calendar in my first heart attack or onset of diabetes, but I’ll see about doing a vegetable tomorrow.)
