2018 JUN 18 -- Day 68

I am so fat! Ugh!

I told my husband that, and he said, 'you're not fat." It's sweet, but it's not entirely accurate. I mean, I am definitely fat. I know he doesn't know how to respond in a situation like that. It's endearing. So I mentioned that it wasn't accurate, but I let him know I appreciated it.

He told me that I wasn't as fat as the day we got married, and then he wasn't sure if he put his foot in his mouth or not. I will take it as the compliment he meant it to be. I'm glad I've reduced in size even if I am struggling to lose more right now.

Poor guy! I must make things so hard on him. LOL

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 357.4 lbs ⇧ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

I'm up again by over a pound. I really don't know what's happening here. I'm just going to keep going with what I have been doing. Maybe I have gained some muscle. Maybe it's water weight. My feet have been a bit swollen these past few days. That could very well be a thing.

On a happier note, my grandma called today, and she asked me whether I got the check she sent. She is footing the bill for our cruise already, so i was surprised to know there was an additional check involved. She gave us more money to cover tipping and shore excursions! She is so wonderful, but I feel a bit guilty accepting such extravagance. I need to get over that.  This is something she wanted to do. I hope she gets to come along with us. She is in her 90s, but she's pretty spry.

I am still hopeful that I ca lose a significant amount of weight so I can wear really cute clothes on the cruise. That is just going to make it so much more enjoyable for me. I am trying to hold off on buying anything new at all until it's almost time to go on the cruise. I will continue to wear the same clothes I have no matter how big they get on me. I have a sewing machine if I need to alter things. I just want to feel the full effect of the satisfaction and happiness that seeing my new size will give me.

I can't want to see the new lower number on the tag graph:

2017 OCT 2 -- Day 44

So far this month (I'm doing 30-day "months," so this is not based on the actual calendar months), I have lost a total of 7.2 lbs. That means I'm losing about a half-a-pound a day. This is not ideal. I was hoping to lose a pound per day. Right now I am at 386.6 lbs. This is good. I'm down from yesterday, but I'm only down by 0.6 lbs. Reducing by only a half-a-pound a day will get me to my goal twice as slow! Ugh. I should be happy I'm losing, and I shouldn't be upset that it's not fast enough. By anyone's standards, I'm losing too quickly. The average is, like, 10 lbs per month, and I'm on par to lose about 15 lbs in this 30-day period. It's more than expected or average, but it's half of what I wanted.
