Birthday Party Binge Eating Hot Dog Failure

I lose all self-control at group gatherings.  My family got together with extended family to celebrate a bunch of birthdays all at once.  It turned into a hot dog eating contest: me against no one.  I just ate and ate and ate and ate dawg after dawg.

The Damage

I inhaled 4-5 hot dogs without thinking.  But those hot dogs needed friends, so I ate a small army of tater tots.  And also there was shredded pork, so I gobbled that up too.  

Then comes desert...

I ate entirely too much ice cream and cake.  Food failure.  Shame.  Disappointment, that I can't restrain myself.  But what of it?  All we can do is try again.  Get back on course.  

Weighing In

The most painful moment in this comes when I step back on the scale.  Here we find the tangible outcome of going off the rails.

I now weigh 281.6 which is an uptick from the mid 270's I had enjoyed not too long ago...

I'm upset.  I'm frustrated.  I want to be more consistent in my food choices and activities.  Emotional vomit session complete.  

Tomorrow is a new day, full of new opportunities to make healthy choices.
