LOL Update, And Fundamental Ellie Flaw
Weigh less than 300 pounds
Fit into Old Navy jeans
Fit into my old clothes
Lose 100 pounds
Weigh less than my husband - COMPLETED!
Weigh less than 200 pounds - COMPLETED!
Transition from obesity to overweightiness - COMPLETED!
Goal When will then be now? Soon.
So, it's been a while, yes? Let's look at my silly goals:
Weighing less than my husband actually occurred (lol) 2 to 3 months ago. It started around the cruise, where I was slightly less than him. This is the first time in the history of me and The Husband. He got fatter with me, and then he dropped pounds like mad when I started Weight Watchers, apparently through some strange osmosis. I began to pull away during the cruise, where I still managed to lose weight despite the over-abundance of food and eating opportunities and he gained about 12 pounds. I almost posted back then, except he suddenly became concerned and then, for a brief period of time, got serious. A man can lose weight so much easier than a woman (just based upon observations of him and stories of others), so when he actually tried I thought he may take back the title... alas, he soon stopped being serious while I continued to plod along and I've been able to maintain a small distance (which has grown some, but not by a helluva lot).
Less than 200 occurred about a month ago. And wow. Let me share this with you. I have no memory (NONE) of weighing less than 200 lbs. Not in high school. Not in grade school (though I do not think I really thought about weight as a number then, I was just big). The first number I was ever congicent of was 230, and I'm pretty sure that was HS. I clung to 230 for a long time, even when clearly I did not weigh that. I dreampt of being 180 some day, but really wishing gets you no where. I could have cried the day my first digit was a 1.
Finally the silliest of all... being so happy that Wii Fit declared me overweight. My dance with obesity finally over? Surely not!
So here it is. One goal left (in the weight loss tree, and I'll have only one goal in the weight maintenance tree). It's not far to go at all, but as I get closer the weight loss gets slower. We'll see how it goes.
Also realized a fundamental flaw of me... I get really bogged down in the things I want to do that I wind up not actually doing things. Just researching how to do things. Then, when I'm ready, I find the day is gone and it is time for resting or for going to work. I need to buckle down and get stuff done. So much knittery and sewing and crafting to do... I could use all my internet research time doing these things!
Tomorrow is weigh in, wish me luck and hopefully I've pushed past another plateau... for now, anyway...
