Well, that didn't take long

I didn't just fall off the wagon this time. I straight up flung myself off the back, giggling all the way. What do I have to show for it? I'm ending the month of January with a total loss of just 3 lbs. At this rate, it will take me 19 more months to make my goal. That's not going to work for me. Everything just seemed to snowball on me. I had one bad day and shook it off. Then another and another. Until, finally, I'm spending my days od'd on sugar and the like and can't seem to get out of my self-induced every bad food under the sun coma. I've got to get back on track, but I'm struggling with taking the first step.

I'd like to set up a goal of 9 lbs of loss for Feb., but I'm worried that I'll be setting myself up for failure. Let's say I only lose 6 lbs rather than 9, is that really a failure? I've got to get rid of this all or nothing mentality. I'm floundering under my own lack of willpower. I've got a lot of thinking to do and I just need to get out of this cycle, starting right now. I've got to make the changes happen!
