Sad day yesterday.

I weighed in at 293.5. Basically exactly ruining all of my great progress over the last week in two days of weekend fun.

So, as much as it hurts to do, I'm basically giving up alcohol. I need to keep my priorities straight, and I'm just sabotaging myself in every way by drinking on the weekends. Drinking is fun, but I found this weekend's debauchery far less satisfying than feeling healthy and making progress. I remember I looked at myself on Friday morning and thought, "Man, I'm really looking better." My skin was healthy looking, my eyes were sharp and clear, and my face seemed skinny. On Sunday morning after two days of "fun" my skin tone seemed sickly, I had huge bags underneath my bloodshot eyes and my face seemed more round and I felt fat as I was showering.

So to heck with drinking then. I'm going to drink in about two weeks time on a big camping trip we've been planning forever, and then after that I'll only drink on special occasions when it seems like it'd be very fun, rather than just something to do. I don't think I've gone one week without drinking since I was 19, but this is a change for the best and I'm excited to do it.

I hope to post again in a few days with better results!

Jeff, I'm impressed again with your commitment. Good man. You'll be fine in the long term - keep up your determination and don't let a bad day or couple of days slow you down.

Even in this post when you've had a minor setback you're showing progress. Good luck.

BOOYAH. I did everything right since Sunday and I've caught back up! I even turned down not one but THREE really sexy sounding invitations to get drunk and flushed 3/4s of a massive delicious piece of apple pie that someone shoved in my face yesterday down the toilet to avoid eating it all or hurting the pie chef's feelings.

I'm excited to register some good progress this weekend and start making some big losses!

Jeff rules this thread with his iron will. Good job.

I approach poker with the same mentality, it's a tough road brother.

Standard week here for me. I lost 4 lbs, but for some reason, I have felt a bit more sluggish this week. For whatever reason, I think it might just be adjustments from my body. However, If it keeps up, its doctor time.

Down to 374, and my pants that I was wearing before are now 2 inches from falling to my ankles immediatley. I want nothing more than to take the picture holding pants that are too big for me out to the side, but that is one of those "big milestone" rewards that I am doing (lame, I know, but at least its something =D). I'll probably do that at 275ish.

Right now, the remaining 174 isn't looking as daunting to me, as I have shaved off 41 lbs, and lost inches. However, I know that the weight loss will get tougher at a certain point. At this point... I'm riding it.

Back with more next week!
