.
I am determined to return to the weight that I had earlier achieved during the 18 months since I stepped on a scale and 'discovered' that I was 309 lbs.

There is a part of me that is very disappointed that have tacked on about 20 pounds from my weight of 216 lbs which was achieved a few months back. When I start getting 'depressed' about this - I try to remember that this 'journey' began at 309 pounds.  I need to remember from the beginning of this journey, I am still down 75 pounds.  In that I am down 75 pounds from a trip that began 18 months ago - I have much to be proud about.

Still, I am mustering up the determination to continue. No different from anyone else, managing one's weight is a process that may have a beginning - but it does also have no end.

Sisyphus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Persephone supervising Sisyphus in the Underworld, Attica black-figureamphora (vase), c. 530 BC, Staatliche Antikensammlungen

In Greek mythology Sisyphus (/ˈsɪsᵻfəs/; Greek: Σίσυφος, Sísuphos) was the king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, repeating this action for eternity.
