Further to my last posting, I managed to "get things together" and get somewhat healthy. Well, things can get "old" fairly quickly, and without even realizing it, I started to fall back into bad habits. I convinced myself that eating "bad" foods was okay from time-to-time, and "taking the weekend off" from my meal plan was perfectly acceptable. It wasn't long after that I was "off the rails" and back eating most of the foods that got me to be a 450 lb diabetic. The same was true for my activity level. I easily made excuses for not working out regularly: bad weather, muscle aches, no time, etc.. Thankfully, I had managed to keep some of the good things from my diet: whole grain cereals and breads and fruits and vegetables. I did a good job of avoiding most sweets, but other junk foods, especially chips, creeped back into my meal plan. Therefore, I didn't gain back all of the weight, but I did hover between the 330-350 lb mark.
Next time I'll talk about how my weight fluctuated over the next few years, and then move into my current situation.
