The scale is my friend again. We had a bit of a falling out, but we're past it. The scale said some things. I sad some things. We both have regrets. Communication is key! Today my scale communicated 407.2 lbs. What a kind thing to say! Thanks, buddy. You'e my favorite friend.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 407.2 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs
This is a return to what I was back on Day 9, and then on Days 10 and 11, I dropped dramatically to 406.6 lbs and then to 405 lbs respectively. I'm hoping with all my heart and all my fat that the dramatic drop happens again, and that I stay down and then sink further (to 404.8 lbs and lower? Unseen territory!).
NO PIZZA!
I was reading Seth Roberts' SLD forum for encouragement more than anything, and I discovered a couple of things that have reassured me. Plateaus are not failure, and if you're not losing pounds, you may be losing inches. These two points are very reassuring. And for those terrible days when my weight was going up, up, up, I was losing inches.
Going to the forums to find encouragement absolutely worked! The forums are dead now, but their legacy lives on. I haven't been able to locate a new forum specifically devoted to Seth's self-experimentation and this SLD method, but that's okay. I am self-motivating as much as I can and supplementing that with dead-forum encouragement.
And here is the no-pizza graph:
