Does this sound like a broken record?

Well as I sit down to write this I look back at the past posts and wonder what
happened or what did I do wrong? So much has changed, yet so much remains the
same.  I was at my all time highest weight and without much effort have lost 62
pounds. 

While that is an accomplishment with so much to lose, it's hardly a
drop in the bucket.  When I started this blog it was January 2006,  Now four
years later I weigh more than I do now than then, but have recently discovered
just how much of this is mental and think that's huge.

So we'll see, I weighed in last night and am ready to start the journey, There
is no quick fixes I know

this and want to spread that message.  It's not rocket science we all know that,

what I want to figure out is what makes those succesful with the battle
different than those who throw in the towel.  I hope you get something from
this. If you have questions ask I have a network of bariatric experts that i'm
going to tap for help. And so the journey begins .... again :)

Why the self sabotage .... argh! Any good therapist out there?!

It's been a bit rough lately, I am going to try a new old method of weight loss.  That being a nutritional shake fast/meal replacement.  I am officially going on a family cruise Nov 27th for a week, it's a blessing and a curse, the blessing obviously being a week long cruise, the curse being it will be my first post divorce "family function" and the last one prior to that was with my wife kids and her family. The quotes are due to the fact it is going to consist of, my father, brother and his wife, sister and her husband, and nephew along with wife and my two other single nephews (both in early twenties). As far as the cruise goes i'm sure it will be splendid, Royal Caribbean 7 day Western Caribbean, you can't go wrong with that. However being a self professed "man of size" I must confess there are some logistical issues. Now for any non obese individual you may want to check out to the next paragraph for everyone else i'll share the details. On ...
