Today is July 4th! Yay! I's bitter-sweet, though, because it's raining out, so I will not be able to enjoy any fireworks tonight. That's too bad.
Today is my day off, so it's eating day. I ate today, and I have to admit that there was some fea that I would gain weight from it. Something unexpected happened, though. I had a rough bout the with porcelain fairy. I must have eaten too much too quickly when I broke my fast.
Live and learn!
Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 348.4 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
I didn't lose much today, but it is still a loss, and that is a victory. I'm quite happy with any amount of weight loss, so this is making me really happy. The fact that I haven't gained weight after eating is the best reward. I'll take it!
I'm sure that the reason I didn't gain weight has something to do with the nasty fight I had with the porcelain fairy, but that's all right. I am expecting a bounce-back, so if I gain tomorrow, I won't be too surprised about it.
In total this month, I have a net loss of 2.8 lbs. That's a far cry from the 15 I was hoping for, but it will have to do. I still have about a week left to go in this 3-day period. We will see how it goes. I hope I can lose a bit more before this month is over.
I have to say that I am quite a bit happier seeing the downward trajectory of my graph than I was a week or two ago. It looks like it's back on the right track for sure. I keep trying to imagine myself at a normal size and weight, and I can't. I look at people in the TV shows I watch that have had gastric bypass surgery, and I see how they change, but I simply can't imagine myself losing weight and seeing a new face and body. It seems impossible even though I am losing weight successfully.
With the way things are going, I am not too sure that I'll feel any different inside once I have a new and improved outside. Is it like aging? While I am 40 years old, I don't feel any different from when I was 18, 15, 13, and even younger. I feel young and vibrant. Will I always feel fat even if I lose all the weight? That is a very important question plaguing my thoughts.
I may never get rid of my "fat-thinking" brain graph:
