I need to ease my way into losing weight. I figured I'd start by eating less of my favorite meals. Eventually I would add exercise. On Feb. 24 the shortage of my food intake began and I decided to start a photo journal of my meals. I started at 214 lbs. I didn't plan to get back on the scale until April 1. Around March 22, I noticed a difference in my clothes, I decided to check the scale. I had lost 6 freakin pounds. What!! All by eating less. I was supped the fuck up. I could do it. Then this thing called life happened. The beginning of April my allergies began to kick my ass. Then Aunt Flo came for her monthly visit. Bringing with her, hair pulling cramps. To top things off my beloved Kitty passed away. I gave two fucks about eating less. I was pissed, sad, depressed all at the same damn time. This lasted for less than two weeks. I figured I definitely must have gained back at least 2 pounds and to my surprise I was wrong. I had lost another pound. Brining my total weight loss to 7 lbs. This was a gift. I should have appreciated that I ate whatever I wanted and still lost a pound. I didn't. I overdosed on food and gained back 4 lbs. Fuck it, what's done is done. Starting Sunday April 27, I plan on returning to what I was doing and walking 2 miles per day. I also walk my dogs 3-5 times a day, depending on energy and weather. The walks last amount 5-10 minutes. That shit counts as exercise.
On a brighter note on April 15, I had my annual GYN visit. For the past 8 years I've had the same doctor and I love her. She actually takes the time to talk to you. She is so personable, fun and kind. She commented 3 different times on how much weight I lost and how great I looked. My last visit was in August 2013, so I asked what my weight was back then, It was 233 and on today's visit it was 213 (that was with clothes on). WTF!!! That is a 20 pound weight lost. Hell fucking yeah. That is something to celebrate. I didn't even realize how far I've come. Slow and steady is working for me. I look forward to my next weigh in on May 27.
