Today i am on plan, though i used up all of my points for the day. I have kept my food log, and even posted here. All in all, counts as a good day.
Now, if I can only do this a couple hundred days in a row, I might be getting somewhere.
This is a public diary and a public confession. Its the story of Mike Gibbons-Camp, a 30 year old legal aid attorney who on August 23, 2007 weighed in at 392.8 lbs. Thanks to the constant support of my wife, Liz, and a kick in the pants by a good friend who I hadn't talked to for a while, I finally decided that enough was enough. But instead of quietly suffering with my weight, I started my blog, "New Me?"
I did really well for 10 weeks, then it completely fell apart. I was in denial for a long time, thinking I was just slipping up a bit, making a mistake here or there. But the reality was that I had failed.
Since then i've tried just about everything I could to get back on the wagon. And i've done well for a week here, a week there, but nothing lasting. So I don't know what to tell a new reader to my blog, but "welcome, and wish me luck."

Well, you know the old saying, "one day at a time..." I find that helps when I'm feeling overwhelmed. It's tough, but you can do it!
Just checking in! How are things going? :)
Hi! I just wanted to say how true your post is. You SHOULD celebrate each victory, even if it is a small one and you have 100 more battles ahead of you. you got through one day and you did well! Pat yourself on the back.
Hi! Just checking back. I also realized that you are expecting a baby in June, I'm expecting our first in July! You're right in that we do owe it to our children to be healthy and set examples for them.
It's been a while since you've posted. Hope to see an update soon!
