Seriously though, any thoughts on other motivational tools besides $$ to get you to eat fewer calories and actually lose weight consistently and then keep it off? Would it be helpful to log everything you eat for a week and then have help deconstructing it to something that is still reasonable/doable for you (taking into account some drinking/etc.) while getting you to a lifestyle that maintains weight loss (and a lower eventual weight)?
I know how to lose weight as I've done it plenty of times in the past. It's just hard and I need to be in the right place to get up the momentum and weather through the mood swings, etc. With the curve-ball thrown at me by my friend, this just hasn't been the right time. But I am finding solace in lots of exercise. So I feel good about that.
I am going out of town this weekend, then in 2 weeks I go to Alaska for 16 days. A lot of that will be backcountry hiking so I probably will do ok there. When I get back I want to work up to doing 6 days of the group training. At about 1000 calories a pop that should do wonders. Also obviously I'll try to do a reasonable diet, but one that doesn't make me snappy at my coworkers, etc.
