I'm back after a break of three weeks, and absolute failure. From the time period from the beginning of this year, to my birthday, I've had a total loss of only 2.4 pounds because of this last second gain of 5 pounds. What were the reasons? I can say things like stress, not going to the gym for various reasons, and my brother returning from med school and so parents have been buying and making all kinds of food that he's been craving, but in the end it's just my failure.

The only good thing about it is that even in failure, I still lost weight. But I didn't get myself the birthday present I wanted to get myself. In the end, my birthday was just... almost... another arbitrary number. As you can see there is already a new graph up, this time ending at Week 52. We'll see what kind of number I can reach after one year.

What I can say is that I did well on counting my calories both on Monday, and today, my birthday. Will power back, determination back, progress will continue.
