A year and some months since I last posted anything. I quit the HMR program, again. I'm weak, I know. I couldn't stand the fellow dieters any longer, lord they could complain. And the needles started causing some damage to the veins in my hands. I know, excuses, excuses. I tried Medi-fast for a month or so and had some decent results but the food and shakes did not appeal to me. They didn't taste right to me.
So instead of eating like a normal person, I decided to eat like an idiot and gain a bazillion pounds. I'm pushing 315 now. Not good. It sucks. I'm breaking a sweat as I type this. I'm tired. I'm cranky. The last straw that put me over the edge was my recent plane trip to Chicago. I got lucky and upgraded to first class, so the seat was able to contain my wide girth. I was even able to buckle the seat belt, barely. The trip back was horrible. Stuck in coach, the seat belt did not buckle. I hid the belt and buckle underneath my belly. Either I'm good at hiding things or the flight attendants felt sorry for me. So I decided it is time to lose weight again.
This will be my 5th serious attempt to losing weight. What is different about this time? Aside from the fact I weight more than I have ever weighed before, not much. A little less busy with school. A little less busy with work. Way motivated though. I want to travel more and I can't afford to upgrade seats all the time. I want to fit comfortably in a coach seat. I want to sleep without snoring. I want to type without sweating. Sure, I want love and a successful career, but right now I just want to be able to get on a plane and buckle the seat belt.
I ordered the HMR800 shakes and various other HMR products. They arrive Friday. I start Saturday. I am not doing the medically supervised plan. I can't do the blood draws anymore and I can't do the meetings. 5 shakes a day minimum, maybe a veggie here or there, maybe an entree here or there.
