MARC JACOBS 2.0

I have drawn more than a few 'lines in the sand' over the past few months. Somehow the lines kept on getting moved. This time, I am serious. I need to be particularly serious right now as I am physically sidelined with a groin pull that might need a week or two to heal. Yesterday was the first day of my new seriousness. I harnessed the willpower that I somehow managed to corral when I initially began my weight loss. Sure, it was only one day, but one has to start somewhere.  So I (re)started yesterday. I need to cleanse my 'system files'. What I needed was a 'reboot'. On my first day after my personal reboot, I consumed under 1000 calories, much as I did for nearly four months straight when I first started from 309 lbs on December 24, 2014.  My intention is not to continue this for four months. Right now, I am taking some satisfaction that I was able to do this for one day. Today will present the next challenge. See you tomorrow.

After more than one year of averaging  3000+ calories every day, it was no small achievement to finally summon the willpower to ratchet down my appetite and keep my caloric intake under 1000 for the first time in more than one year. Perhaps a more well-balanced approach would be to find a the happy middle ground. Right now I would like to jump start my the change in direction that my weight needs to take - at least for a couple of days.

The way to keep a spinach salad low calorie... Do not add all the high calorie delicious things that I have been adding recently.  Right now I am going to simply have one ingredient in my spinach salad - at least for a few days while I reverse the course of my weight gain.
