Matt's Diary

Well done Matt. I chaired a meeting this week, for the first time in my life. We did it!

Barely! I was a little disappointed, bc only 2 people showed up when 10 were scheduled to come. I'm hosting another one next week, eek!
 
I just wanted to say I love the new design of the site!

The meeting was OK at the time & then I over thought it afterwards & got really anxious & decided I had better be more prepared next time. Having notes always helps me. I have another meeting on Tuesday(different group), which I will be better prepared for. I hate meetings & hate being on committees. Ugh!

Yeah I always hated meetings also. I'm sure you did good!
 
Hey man. Congrats on taking action! ive read through a lot of the posts on here and it sounds like your making some serious progress. I would definitely recommend focusing on the foods you DONT eat over the ONES you do. Yes healthy nutritious foods are vital but just by cutting out the processed garbage and the high calorie drinks you will see MASSIVE changes to your body. Then once you overcome that hurdle you can slowly introduce new foods and find ways you like to make them. Healthy doesn't have to mean suffering. I love using spices and herbs and citrus to make my food pop. When your focusing on eliminations theres something you should NOT remove. I wrote an article about it on my new blog here. Check it out! Hope this helps :) link removed

Ugh. I can't believe my weight has gone up so much (actually I can believe it). I'm going to have to take drastic measures. From now one if I do have a cheat day, it'll just be on Sunday. Also, after my birthday I'm not going out until my weight goes down (with some exceptions, I have a meetup scheduled on Oct 22, and of course Halloween).
 
This happened to me earlier this year, Matt & it is so hard to get it to come back down. It's scary. You can do it though!

I love anchovies, but could only eat one or 2 once in a blue moon. I'm amazed that your weight didn't go up after the salt.
