Concluding A Brief Plateau And Starting Over

From October 29 to November 6th I was on no real diet.

Reasons for not following diet:

1. Work. I have to sometimes eat with clients. I am also on the road without refrigeration. So much easier to just buy something quick and easy. I am going to redouble efforts to have fewer work-related cheat days.

2. Miss D. bought and prepared some heavenly food for me. How could I refuse.

3. New work chefs. I just had to sample their work.

4. Indigestion. Things like fruits, yogurt, vegetables and even low fat meats sometimes cause indigestion of one kind or another. Pretzels. potato chips high fat burgers and ginger candy do wonders for my stomach. I had to abandon my diet a few times to make peace with my system.

5. The above all blame others or circumstances. Truth is, I lost my focus.

I start anew.
