June 01, 2005   Did the dreaded, I got on the scale today and, sure enough, my weight is up. I knew it would be, what with the fact that I've been eating so much junk food, slacking on exercise, and not taking my insulin sensitzier, but it was still depressing to see the numbers on the scale creep up again.

It's only a few pounds, I told myself, but those few pounds are on top of the last few pounds I gained, and I'm now at the point of having regained half the weight I'd lost. Not long ago, my total weight loss was 32 lbs, and now it's only 16 lbs, and it all happened so fast and so easily.

It would be easy to get depressed about this but, since that won't do any good, I'm instead going to use it as a wake-up call and rededicate myself to exercise, eating healthy, and taking my glucophage. Part of the reason for that is to lose weight, but the other reason is simply because I feel so much better when I do these things, especially the exercise.

So, no more Lucky Charms and a lot more exercise, because what has gone up - my weight - can, must, and will come down. I have decreed it.
