A well worn path...
It has been a while since I last posted here, especially after reading back on all of the 'best intentions' that it seems I have filled my life with over the last couple of years. Certainly as it pertains to my weightloss '(insert time-appropriate adjective du jour - be it journey or adventure or whatever)' anyhow.
What have I been doing? regressing - that's what I've been doing - I've been doing all the same things I promised in this blog that I would never do again. I am a walking definition of the person that does the same thing over and over and expects a different result... although I like to think I'm not insane...
A couple years have passed - I`ve certainly gotten older, and as such expect that dieting for me will be as difficult as before. I still work a relatively stressful job with long hours, and I still intend on continuing with my education - all of which make it that much more difficult for me to diet - the built in excuses I tend to use as my crutch not withstanding.

"I have a client meeting and we are going out for lunch""I'm too tired when I get home to eat properly""I'm so busy I just grabbed something quick and easy"
... all bullshit - at least it is for someone that really wants to lose weight.
So - I am going back to everything that worked for me before to lose the weight, hence my triumphant (or not so triumphant) return here. Although not a writer, I do like to put pen to paper so to speak - in a very weird way its almost cathartic for me and certainly helps to enfore the accountability aspect - which to me is THE most important thing.

I. NEED. TO. BE. ACCOUNTABLE. TO. ME.
... everything else will fall in line after that - it did before and it will again.
