Back in the saddle again.

I haven't posted lately, because I didn't have much to say.  I've been discouraged, and I needed to just concentrate on getting back to good.

The holidays brought food.  Not crazy food, but enough food that I went back up to 199.  Most of this was salt, I'm sure, as Christmas dinner was a (delicious) salty, Thai spread.  Massaman curry, Pad Thai, Thai egg rolls, egg custard and sticky rice for desert.  There were a few other stops in Food Town along the way.  There was no fast food or cake.  No soda or milk.  But, my body reacted to what I ate, and it depressed me.

So, I just put my head down and charged on.  It was frustrating - I felt bloated and fat again, even though it was only a few pounds difference.  I knew that I couldn't see 200 on the scale again, this soon after such a euphoric loss. 

I'm  back down to my lowest weight (196), so I'm feeling a lot more sane.  I honestly have more to say, as my diet strategy has changed a bit, but that will have to wait for another post.

I'm learning to never give up, and I've always been a big quitter.  I lost weight, I gained weight, and I lost it again.

I refuse to let it take me over again.
