I hate Scales
So a handful of us are having a friendly competition at work from 10/5 - 11/30. Whomever loses the most % of bodyweight wins the pot. I weighed in last Monday at 220 - just weighed in today at 221.6. I know my eating hasn’t been the healthiest at night, but I’ve done 30 minutes of cardio 6 days last week and some strength training (kept it light as I just started back up again). I hate scales and normally don’t use them - the good thing is that my % of bodyfat dropped a hair. Frustrated right now - with so much going on, it’s easy to find an excuse to eat at night. As I’m sitting there eating, I’m even telling myself I shouldn’t be doing this. I wish there was something that could increase my will power. I’m doing my best to get on the 6 or so meals a day track and do well, but then night comes and I screw everything up. There are a lot of things going on in my life right now that may be impacting my will power - I’m not depressed, but there sure are days when I feel like I am. Is this a cry out for help - no, but I just get so tired of trying something and failing each time. I can’t even sleep at night - I wake up at 2:45 AM daily and lay there wide awake and usually can’t get back to sleep and when I do fall back to sleep, it’s already time to get up. Later everyone!!!

You CAN do it. Just keep in my this whole deal is a lifestyle change & a PROCESS. Improve something here, then improve something there, etc. It certainly doesn’t all happen overnight. I still have bouts of nighttime munching, which is historically my Achilles Heel.
I also have problems waking up early, instead of problems falling asleep when I go to bed. You sure you’re not having an out-of-body experience into mine?……….LOL.
Good luck. NEVER give up. Health & fitness are worth it. And it’s for a LIFETIME.
