Journal entry 8/18/15

As of this weekend, I realized that losing weight can be as hard as I make it.  I have given up and binged on sweets and other unhealthy foods.  This past weekend, I overate to the point where I was ashamed.  What I did was dishonest and for that reason, I was ashamed.  I have to relax and buckle down.  That means I need to be patient when it comes to what I eat.  How I eat also requires patient.  I tend to consume the largest amount of calories at lunchtime, which may be a good thing.  My weight is an issue that I think about on a daily basis.  I have not always handled things well and I have to be truthful.  That could go a long way as far as my weight loss goals.  I realized that I needed to have realistic goals in mind.
