Trying to start again

Well, I have been trying to start again for a few weeks now and have had
some good days and bad days. I seem to find an excuse to drink all the
time. I been helping a friend that lives in a home I own clean up after the
massive flooding and that seems to be an excuse to drink. I am starting
again today. I somehow feel better today and feel I can do it. The other
times I started I just didn't have it in me. I don't know how much I weigh,
but I will guess I gained 15 pounds in the past couple of months. My
clothes still fit, but not that comfortably.

All I can do is keep trying and hopefully today is the beginning of a good
streak. I think I can do it. Wish me luck!

Are you gaining just because of drinking? How much do you drink? If
drinking is going to be a problem for you, then your path is clear.

Hi Curt,
I wish you luck. It's tough getting back on track when you slide for a
while. Keep your chin up and KNOW that yes you can do it.

Good luck curt. If we know anything, we know it's best to catch it while
it's only 15 pounds. :-)

Curt, I am sorry, are you about 190 lbs right now? And at the height
of 6'2"? Is that right? If so, can you make an effort to stabilise
your weight, instead of trying to resume weight loss?

i

I think I am around 190 or something like that. Not sure. I will weigh
myself in a couple of weeks. I hate seeing the big number when I look at
the scale. I am not happy at this weight. At 180 that is pretty good. I
figure 177 gives me 3 pounds of messing up.

Thanks,
Curt
