I'm Astonished

I haven't posted since July of last year!

I noted in my last post that I'd lost 52 pounds. I'm still at about that weight.

I continued to do well until October, when Zaphod & I took a train trip to New Orleans. It was a wonderful trip but it undermined my good habits. And then the holidays attacked. I gained some weight and then I lost it.

And now it's February. In January, I stopped taking the antibiotics that made it possible for me to lose weight as fast as I did. My stomach is now mostly recovered, so I have to learn to keep the weight off.

There's not much news here, really, except that I've been flirting with the possibility of actually tracking what I eat. I'm not sure I can track, even though I know it's a key to success. My latest plan is to see if I can develop discipline in other ways.

If I can become disciplined in other ways (can anyone recommend a good cognitive behavioral therapist?), maybe I can start to track my eating. Until then, I'll continue to dip into The Lyme Diet: Nutritional Strategies for Healing from Lyme Disease (downloaded from Amazon) for any wisdom I can glean.
