Day 157

Patience and trust in the process...this is what I have to continually remind myself.  As successful as I've been thus far on this diet, I still regularly have doubts.  I'm not sure why, but it's just something that comes into my head.  I know better, but these thoughts haunt me.  Is this what happens to people with eating disorders feel--but on a much higher level?  I'm no where near there, but I do now experience a sort of compulsion to get my steps in for the day and I do get nervous with just about anything I put in my mouth. 

It's now been almost six months of this diet.  I have lost 70 pounds, but rolls of fat still hang from my chest and stomach.  So...just hang in there--patience and trust the process. 

It was Cindy's birthday, so after my jog/walk using the Santee Lakes route, I went to the store and bought her a card and flowers.  I played some poker on the computer, watched a little TV and had dinner at the folks.  I've now added laps permanently to my swimming routine to 20.  I sat in the sauna and finally showered and home.  Every single night, I fancy not going to the gym and every time I still go and every time, I'm glad I did--so there ya go.

Food intake: chicken breasts (630); dinner...it's a guess (700); chicken nuggets (250)
