Revised thoughts on the diet:

No, I'm not giving up already.

But I will have to modify my original plan.

I feel as though I inadvertently set myself up to fail. And my mental health can't handle another ounce of failure.

So, I will not look at January 5th as a day when everything magically changed, and instead try to tackle this thing bit by bit.

First step: getting myself to use the new exercise bike! And trying to eat healthier in general.

Thinking I could completely change my eating habits overnight was nuts.
