It's great when you set a goal and reach it. Today has been that kind of day. Mind you it has taken two days of not being able to keep much food inside my body to achieve it, but I have still made it.
I stood on the scale today and for the first time since 1979 I have weighed 180 pounds. My goal is to lose 10 more pounds, hopefully without getting sick, and get down to the weight I was when I was twenty-six years old, 170 pounds. And to think I was 228 pounds. That's almost 50 pounds. Can you imagine carrying around an extra 50 pounds of weight every day?
Aside from being healthier and in better physical shape, it has its emotional effects, too. I know that I look better than I have for a long time. It's not that I looked so terrible before - at least, I hope not - it's just that my body is more attractive to look at. And it really isn't that important how others look at me, it's how I look at myself that counts. I feel more positive. It's that simple.
The only disadvantage is that I have many baggy clothes right now. Fortunately, I like a loose fit. However, I need to visit a used clothing depot soon. I can't afford to buy all new stuff right now.
Maybe now is the time to contact one of those makeover shows.
