Well... I haven't posted for three weeks. Here's why. First week, I put my cat to sleep and posted about that instead. Second week I weighed myself, but ended up not posting. Third week, I didn't even weigh myself. What happened? Besides my cat, school also started, and I'm waking up and leaving for school at 6:30am. I need to fit this into my new schedule.
Now about the results. I have to accept that I won't even make the 185 goal. There is still a downward trend, so that's cool. The trend line keeps on rising, so that's not. I'm feeling healthier despite my weight not dropping as much as I wanted, so that's cool. I haven't lost as much weight as I wanted, so that's not.
Shall I go one more? I can still reach somewhere between 195 to 200 by my birthday and be decently satisfied, so that's cool. It wasn't my original goal... but the goal is kinda arbitrary anyway... so that's also ok as well. This is all about the long term, and any progress while preventing major regression is still a good thing.
I have to take what good I can, and that is good. Not giving up because I didn't accomplish it as quickly as I wanted is good. Cause really... once I hit my goal, and maintain it. That'll last me years and years, if not the rest of my life, and what's a few months when compared with that. It's not like my self-image and health is tied to one specific magical weight of 185.
One change that I made this past week, and am continuing, is that I'm eating chinese chicken salad every day as a meal. Right now it's making me feel full, while helping me to cut back on calories. And until I get tired of that, I'm going to keep on doing it. I'm sure it won't last forever, but while it's working, might as well take advantage.
