I think we all do this to an extent. I know I did - I would eat in private and sneak food. I knew what I was doing, but I was in denial about what the results would be.

I think at some point....we all lie to ourselves about how much we ate. When I finally got honest and started logging my food....I was mortified! Ignorance was bliss...or was it? Honesty is a big part of the process. Guilt and Shame shouldn't be! You are an inspiration to a lot of us! Thank you for sharing.

I didn't eat more than half of a fairly large bag of M & Ms yesterday !!!!!!

It took me a lot longer to learn the honest lesson than you. That being said, I wholeheartedly agree! My mantra is "If I eat it, I own it". No excuses, just keep journaling accurately and honestly...

I am not perfect, just human.

I hope I didn't offend you I had said in my reply to you that I know you would ride it off as I know you, ride a few miles on your bike so good for you , it does take some of us a while to learn and get how to control our ways of eating and with that said I went for a fill yesterday and I am down to 217 lbs so I am happy it's a slow process but it's getting there, I still like your post though I was at 276 when I started this journey july of 2012 so I guess I am doing good, so you keep (riding) & posting , keep up your good work.

Nope, didn't offend me at all.
