Thanks, it's okay. It's more that I'm dreading looking for a job as the job search process is a pain.

I ate the peanut butter again and I think I ate too much. My stomach was hurting last night and I ended up throwing up ( can I subtract calories if I vomit?). I'm giving up peanut butter lol.

Is there a reason you ate the peanut butter & jelly, Matt. It's funny, but when I read
I actually felt a bit queasy & then I read to the bottom & saw you actually did vomit. Do you think you may be self sabotaging since you got down to your goal weight? It's hard to maintain motivation I know. Maintenance is harder than the actual weight-loss I think.

Honestly it was there. Someone gave me a jar and for some reason I ate it. The funny thing was I've never been real big on peanut butter. It's possible and your right maintenance is harder. I think with weight loss there was a sense of excitement that is gone once I met my goal.

I know how hard I found it when I got to goal weight back in 2007. The sense of achievement fades as does the excitement. Now it's the constant battle. I got some counselling at the time, Matt & that helped me. I have to impose my own rules, but as I am one to question rules, I even rail against my own. We are very complex beings.
Re: the peanut butter. I actually don't have anything against peanut butter & will have it on a piece of toast occasionally for breakfast, to add some protein, but I have never understood the having it with jelly thing or just by the spoonful.
Working out maintenance is tough, but if you can do that now, it will be much easier than fighting getting back down for the rest of your life. Settle on your happy weight maybe. I did that, but it creeps back up easily.

Sorry for the late entry. I tried to go to the site earlier but I kept getting an error message. My weight is staying the same and went up a little, which is surprising I figured since I threw up I'd lose some weight lol jk.

A fairly good day. I helped get one of my neighbors cats back and it looks like I'll be feeding another cat. Apparently I've been feeding other animals too as yesterday there was a possum waiting by the area where I feed the cats.
