170/153.2/???
Got down to 145 and decided I need some lean muscle. I've made some headway on my gut since the last post. Still low carb, but more vegetables, probably 40-50 carbs before subtracting for fiber. I don't really count the calories anymore. I eat if I am hungry.

In early May, I weighed myself for the first time in a long time. I weighed 180.80. I was shocked - I've never weighed that much but I realized my eating habits over the last year got much worse and my BP was way high when they took it at the dentist recently.
I overhauled my diet with healthier meals and always eat a salad for dinner. Cut way back on carbs, no sweets, no carbonated drinks and switched to decaf coffee to help with my blood pressure. I also made an effort to be less sedentary at my work desk and to get up and move around during the workday.
Today, I tested my BP and it was 113/78 and my weight was 144.40. I went from a 36" waist to 31". My focus now is to get to 140.00 and tighten up problem areas through exercise.
It hasn't been easy, especially since I cook most of the family meals and I didn't want everyone to have to diet, too.

I feel like I need a little PuttaDaForkDown therapy...so bear with me, or ignore it I don't really care. But if I don't get it down somewhere I might go crazy...debbie downer post begins below.
I'm up 15 pounds now over the last 6 weeks or so. I really think that weight will get under 220 in the next few days, but who knows. I've been back to my old eating habits recently and I can't get out of my funk.
My wife was diagnosed with cancer back in July (we're in our early 30's so quite a shock to say the least) and since then I've just kind of stopped paying attention to anything else going on; especially my diet and exercise. Since the original diagnosis we've found out that the cancer she has has a *cure* rate of 90-95% of all patients. This is fantastic news, but we still have a long road of chemo and shite like that ahead of us (her).
I'm trying to get my shite together, but its tough and I just don't really care right now and that makes me angry after all the hard work that's been put in over the last year and half. It's time I get back to being in this thread daily and holding myself accountable. I've been afraid to post anything about the weight gain because I feel like quite the failure right now, but at the same time it just seems like such a pointless and trivial thing to be bitching about considering the fact that I'm bitching about gaining some weight when my wife has cancer.
Eating my feelings and lashing out at people seems so much easier than being responsible and putting an end to this slide that I've been on recently.

Sorry to hear about your wife, that must be scary for both of you. But glad to hear she has a great shot of beating it.
It doesn't matter how much weight you've gained over the last six weeks. All that matters is today. Tomorrow doesn't matter either, until it becomes today. Seriously, take it one day at a time and forget about the poor choices in the past. You are still down over 90 pounds, that's far from a failure.
Glad to have you back in the thread and thanks for the update.

Just slowly start climbing back on the wagon. At some point down the line, you're going to get back on. But don't let it be 6 weeks from now. Or 3 months.
Cause you know what always happens to me? I start to harp on how much progress I could have made in that time. And I feel like shite. So don't put yourself in that situation. Esp when you've came this far. Good luck
