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."

week 13 results

So I had to do my weigh-in for this week last night before rushing out to Zanesville for the holiday. Unfortunately, i'm up again, taking me to 343.1.

No real excuse for this... I just haven't been living up to my own standards.

I know that this is a disappointment. Don't give up on me, I will get this figured out.

I was holding steady through Thanksgiving but I can just feel that I'm up about 5 or more pounds, UGH, why do we do this to ourselves? So we get back on track again and start fighting the fight again....until Christmas dinner.
