24 Jan Monday
Food is Fuel! It is not entertainment, it is not my friend, it is not my "thing to do" when watching TV after dinner!
Eat to live, not live to eat.
Exercise: None
Breakfast 7am
Other Notes: Frigid Cold, headache (weather or reduction in caffeine)
Emotions: Good all day until the TV snack, corn muffins. John wanted to make them so we did. Mad that I let his craving derail me.

Diagnosis
...and so it goes again. Another January, another resolution to finally loose the weight. Lost 30# on Weight Watchers a few years ago, but as soon as I got too confident and stopped counting those Points(c) I was back at my starting weight, plus some!
The magic number has always been 200. Once I saw that number on the scale, "that's IT" I tell myself. I haven't ran since the 2010 Hartford Marathon and really packed it on over the holidays. Oh, I also turned 35 years old. Fat and old. Nice.
Thinking I'd try some kind of medical weight loss program, I did some Internet research. I also needed to the program to be covered by insurance. Dr. Lessack http://drlessack.com/ seemed like a good bet; can't hurt to make an appointment with him right here in Hartford.
I had to complete copious amounts of paperwork before our appointment. This in of itself was eye-opening. My eating habits ARE poor.
Diagnosis: Compulsive Overeater
Other Issues: (1) nutrition, (2) lack of CONSISTENT exercise, and (3) sluggish metabolism.
Plan: Dr. Lessack will make me a customized eating plan and exercise plan. We need to get to the root of the problems and not just muster willpower for a short amount of time only to see if wean after a few months (Weight Watchers).
