Thursday -- One day at a time, version 386
Thursday, March 31st 2011
I am NOT measuring, counting, or worrying about what I eat. Well, that's not right: I am worried because I've been worrying about this calories, carbs, fat, protein, salt, fiber, etc. for about 40 years, and it's kinda hard to turn it off overnight. But I'm working on it.In one very real way, my eating is better. This morning I told myself I COULD have an extra bagel/cream cheese/pastrami if I wanted. But after I finished the first, I decided I didn't really want to eat that extra bage...

Tuesday, March 22nd 2011
My eating -- and along with it my weight -- is absolutely out of control. I am now heavier than I have been in years and I feel awful. My clothes don't fit, and I look like a fat old lady. And the more I eat, the worse I feel, and accordingly the more I want to eat.This is now a health crisis, not just an appearance crisis. If I don't get a handle on this, I won't live to see retirement (planned for age 80) let alone my 100th birthday.
Atkins is my plan now. I have spent 4-5 ...
