On Monday i went to dinner with members of my family. My brother took one look at me and I could see his concern in his eyes. "So, are you still going to the doctor?" he said among other gently nudging, prodding questions.
This was purely his polite code for "dude, you're packing em' on again."
The truth is I have been off the range for months. Yesterday, I went to the doc and checked in for the first time in 5 or 6 weeks. The scale tells no lies. I am up more than 20 pounds since my low.
I am disappointed but I am not in a death spiral. The wake up call had actually come before "the look."
I am carb free for close to 40 hours now. So now it is back on the plan. I cancelled a bunch of lunch and future dinners and am bringing my own food into the office from home. Tonight, Hannah and I are going to the gym to work out for the first time in a while.
I will lose what I gained by this time next month.
No one ever said it would be easy.
Good lad! You had me worried for a moment. I know it's upsets the way you want to live; it is a life-changing way of living, but just think of it as a life-lengthening way of living ... :)
