Losing weight: I still find it hard to motivate myself sometimes

I'm supposed to be losing weight - Trying - is a good and a bad word. I know that sometimes I am not "trying" as hard as I can, some days I conveniently forget I am supposed to be on a health plan and eat anything that isn't nailed down. Then I get the attack of the remorses and vow to "try" harder the next day. And sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't.

Take last night for instance. I was going to have an early night, until I remembered the Oscars were on. And instead of going to bed at my pre-determined bed time I sat up and watched a couple of hours of television. One question - how can these people sit for so long without needing a pit stop? But anyway. Not only did I forgo writing my book for mindless television, I also found a half bottle of wine in the fridge and half an hour later had an attack of the munchies.... oops now I am going to get in trouble.

What can I say - I am only human, and all humans have failings don't they? I can also blame the fact that I've been trying to get over an illness all last week, but neither of the excuses are actually valid. I know I am totally responsible for what I do, say and therefore achieve. All I can promise is that today I am "trying" harder to be good. And each tiny decision that I make is giving me another set of choices and options for the next decsions that I have to tackle. So don't despair if you can't get it right all the time, neither can I. But we can promise that if we make the next 5 minutes better than the last, we won't let a single wrong decision turn into an avalanche of despair and in my case - comfort eating.

But I'll let you know how I get on.
