Today marks the day of epic failure. Complete and total failure. I surely haven't earned weight loss, but seeing the same number I saw flashing back at me on the scale when I started this journey almost two years ago was extremely disheartening. I don't normally weigh in on Thursday, but I just came off the flu, and despite a few days of eating little or nothing, I felt and looked bigger. Sure enough, I've gained 7 lbs. in the last week. I feel no hope. I don't know that it's even worth the effort. Even if I loose weight for a little while, it's doubtful I'll keep it off long enough to matter. Hopeless, pointless, failure...
