lose weight

This morning I realized that I am in control of my weight. Although I still have more to lose and I’m not going to mark this as done until I’m there, I am no longer fat and unhappy about it, or fat and accepting it, but overweight and slimming slowly and effectively.

This realization is means more to me than all the kilograms I’ve lost.

I have not achieved this overnight, but by persisting for more than two years in exercise and paying attention to what I eat. You can do it too!

Once again, my daily weight is the lowest for the year so far!

There’s a long weekend or two ahead, so it will be interesting to see if I can keep on paying attention to what I eat.

Another lowest weight for the year today! I’m retracing my steps nicely. I’m curious to see what my abs look like—the first indications are pretty interesting.

Today’s weighing says I’m at the lowest weight since the beginning of the year!

Today I weighed myself at the HealthZone machine at the gym, and it says I’m about 2 kg down since the last time! I’ve been so focussed on getting back where I was last year that I forgot to notice the progress I’ve been making.

Today I’m wearing my skinny jeans, and it is a better fit.

Still more to go, and I’m going with confidence.

The machine at the gym says my body fat percentage is down. Yay! Hopefully the scales will agree soon.

Last night in the restaurant I said “salad” instead of “chips”. _{I won’t say it out loud, but I think the salad was more interesting than the chips would have been}

My weight has been stuck at the same level since the beginning of the year, which is 4 kg more than at the end of last year. I don’t think I look too bad compared to others, but there’s a flabbiness I don’t like.

Over the last week or two I’ve been gaining back some of the attitude that gave me the weight loss I’ve had so far. It means really, really paying attention to what I eat, and never thinking ‘it won’t matter’ and looking for ways to eat less.

It shouldn’t be so hard to say “salad” instead of “chips”.

Its funny that things are so difficult to learn. I learned last year that restaurant meals are simply too much, and one should either share or take half home. I forgot about that this year, so I will have to learn it again.
