Since it's Sunday I am going to keep this brief. Today was a water retaining day, so I gained 4 pounds. Weight: 274. I've found through various diets to expect this, so I'm not letting it get me down. I think part of my weight gain may have been caused by too much salt yesterday, so I have cut the bullion cubes out. I know that there are going to be big loss days and plateaus in the coming days. I'm feeling good and my cloths are fitting better, so I know I'm moving in the right direction. I'm heading out for a big challenge. I'm off to a gaming event. Traditionally I grab about $15 in snacks when I go to play games and munch while I play. I've had my lunch and I wont get to eat again until dinner. This is just one of may trials I am going to have to face while I change my behavior and my relationship with food. Gaming is one of my favorite things to do, so this is going to have to be something I work through. Tomorrow I'll let you all know how it went for me. until then...
