Some people lose weight when they’re stressed or too busy. I, on the other hand, gain it. Whereas some people forget to eat, I can’t stop thinking about the next snack, meal, junk-food-I-can-indulge-in. It’s time to try a new method to keep my mouth empty and closed when it’s not meal time because it turns out I lack will power these days. It’s time to bring in a scale and do daily weigh-ins.

Yes, I’ve heard how this puts a lot of people in guilt trips about themselves, some as far as feeling depressed of what they see every day, but I’m willing to try it. I get more depressed from not fitting into my clothing every day. The madness needs to stop! (And now, I need to go get myself a scale.)
