I'm doing everything all wrong. I used to say "at least I haven't succumbed to [fill in the blank]," but now I can't even comfort myself with the thought that I've maintained control over anything. Except sugary soft drinks and caffeinated coffee. Those are the only things I've managed to keep at bay (except for a one-time indulgence in Coke at the movies last month.) One of my worst offenses is eating way too much dark chocolate. Mr Coco spoiled me with a shipment of Joel Durand tablettes, and instead of rationing them out in a reasonable quantity, I've been scarfing them down by the slab. I have to get the remainder out of this house. They are not safe here. I don't know if anyone reads these entries or not, but I don't think of my situation as depressing, hopeless, or pathetic. I'm just trying to be honest with myself. I believe I can get a grip on my habits again. Getting under 200 pounds a couple of years ago was a major milestone for me. I really do not want to allow myself to creep over that threshold. So I MUST get back on track now. This morning has gone well. Just a cup of yogurt and some pistachios. If I can keep it up through bedtime, that will be a victory.
