Weighing In 4/15/2017

238, down from 238.75 yesterday.

And the excess adipose tissue keeps on peeling off.

Time to set my next reward, for dropping below 230 (that will be exciting; I haven't been below 230 since I did that HMR diet before law school). Maybe I'll go to Lord and Taylor and splurge on a nice new outfit.

No, I'll keep Lord and Taylor in the background. I'm changing shape too much to spend all that much money on clothes right now. I'll see what movies are available at the time and go to one that looks good. And, of course, I will give the celebratory donation to my husband's memorial fund with the American Lung Association.

Weighing In 4/11/2017

239.75, down from yesterday's 241.25.

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! All that recent plateauing has fallen off the cliff!!!!!!!

And I'm below 240!! It's time for my mani/pedi, and I've donated today to my husband's memorial fund at the American Lung Association!!

From the start, I've lost 16.5 lb, and in one week I'm down 3 lb. I'm doing well. Just gotta keep it up!

Actually, losing the weight isn't the hard part; it's keeping it off where things get really challenging. It's so easy to slide right back into the old habits. So I have a strategy for that. I'll give myself a 10-lb buffer zone; if I get above that 10-lb limit, I will go right back on the reducing diet and take it right off. In other words, this is the last time I'll work to lose 100+ lb at a stretch.

My goal is 139 lb. I started at 258 lb. That will be a total loss of 119 lb. I can obviously do that. If I ever get above 150 again, I'm back on the reducing diet. That's it.

And  y'know ... this blog keeps me accountable. That's what is missing in the book-based diets out there: accountability. Everyone is so sensitive about their weight. We just need to plough through and go public and state the weight and fix it then keep it fixed. It's not that hard, and we food addicts, on the Diet Center program, can stay food addicts; we just change the tenor of the addiction.

Weighing In 4/5/2017

241.75, down 0.75 lb from yesterday.

It's coming off! Another two pounds and it'll be time for my next reward. I need a mani/pedi! My toenails are half bald. I'll wait until the weight is actually off before I call Nicole, but I'm really looking forward to it! And the American Lung Association donation page in memory of my husband, Jim Simpson, needs a donation.

The Diet Center says my ideal weight is 139. So okay; I said my ultimate goal was 150, but I hereby modify that to 139. I can clearly do it, since I am doing it.

Wow. Imagine being that healthy. I've never been that healthy. Better late than never!
