Already lost a pound on day two.

All I did was cut down portions and count calories (And I've even been over the alotted calorie count the past three days). Makes me hopeful for when I go full bore and actually, you know, follow the menu plan and start exercising.

(Still going to dread hitting that plateau, though. I hope it doesn't rear it's ugly head until I'm under 200...maybe even down to the spot where I was last time, which was 172. Guess we'll have to wait and see though).

Take it from the college kid - the simple act of not stress eating can do wonders if that's the practice you'd been on before.

Sounds like you're hitting that first step great! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and all the other steps, Silver!

If I'm being honest with myself, it wasn't so much stress eating as just not caring. I actually know all the things I need to do to get down to a healthy weight and then maintain it, but I let it get away from me and just went 'fuck it'. This time? The effort will actually be more in the vein of keeping myself from throwing in the towel again. Knowing what the right thing to do is the easy part; keeping myself doing it is where the real effort is going to be this time around.
