I'm down if it's helpful, my brother. Headed into a bit of a grind for the next 30 days or so, so a weekly (or whatever) Goggins tier mutual accountability thing could work.

PS - You're not "weak." Obviously. Not feeling that kind of self talk a bit. You just haven't had your mind right. No big. I was there for almost 2 years. Flush it. Next. Let's go! #freeadvice #wortheverypenny

I'm not sure I'd make a good accountability partner, Ches, because I'm a bit of a pushover, but I would be a pretty good coach, I think. What worked for me, to get my mindset right, was a scary report from the doctor. Diabetes was what turned me around. After that, I was able to convince myself that anything I put in my mouth that wasn't on plan and my sedentary ways were killing me, the same as a dose of cyanide would. If I continued, I wouldn't be around for all the exciting plans I made for the future, plus I'd be ruining the plans of my partner. Reflecting on that everyday helped me stay on track. Too much food, or the wrong food at the wrong time, and inactivity are poison.

Ches I dont know what the magic formula is. I have finally got my act together after retiring recently. At age 19 i went from 183- 137 and kept it off until age 37. My late 30's to 40's putting on the weight. I have finally started getting serious and actually losing weight again. I lost 12 pounds during the pandemic working at home and then i returned to the office gained it back, and now retired and And I am down 11 pounds, I feel confident I will keep this weight loss off now and will keep going.

Hey lonniehuffman - mindset is everything. I think I will start with some small changes like upping my water intake. I don't drink enough water and I am sure more times than often, I confuse hunger with thirst. I like your daily reflection, I can implement that. Hey Maine coon - I am glad you found your groove. I will have to figure it out but I will. Hey Little Red Fox - I laugh at my self too.

It's been a while chesgreen, glad you're back! I'm sure you'll turn this around! Sorry for the cliché, but it's not a race, it's a journey.

Maybe it's hard to have discipline with food if you are overly disciplined everywhere else? In other words are you too stressed in your lifestyle and food is your only comfort? Just food for thought. Pun intended.
