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."

good feeling

So I have a good feeling about this week to come, diet wise at least. My treadmill is back in working order, though I probably won't have time for it tomorrow morning. I can't think of any reason why I couldn't be on plan as far as calorie intake.

And once I survive tomorrow things should be looking up again at work. Unfortunately tomorrow I need to get in as early as I can. I have a annual review/case review thing with my boss that I'm really not looking forward to at all... and if I fail to get something done in the morning that would have made it go smoother because I took time to do my workout it would send me into a anger spiral. I know this is a cop out, but I will make it up in the afternoon.

So there are times when being on plan just seems natural and obvious, and other times when it seems all but impossible. And I don't mean things like thanksgiving dinner. I mean just normal days where there aren't any outside influences making me make bad choices, I just do. I really want to get back to where it seems easy again, I'm just having a hell of a time finding my way back.
