Experiment update - dieting
I've managed to keep to my experimental diet, and weighed in this morning at 213 pounds. That is 7 pounds down from my April 8th weigh in. If I can keep at this for the remaining period (about a month) I have a good chance of breaking another restriction I'd placed on myself.
Probably about two years ago I wanted to see if I could stop eating french fries. I happen to enjoy potatoes very much, and deep fried potatoes even more, so I thought it would be a good test of will power. The full restriction was "no fried potatoes" and I sealed the restriction with the clause "until I lose 15 pounds". Since I hadn't changed weight in more than 5 years prior to that I thought that clause would end up a life sentence. I was about 225 pounds then; at 210 the restriction will be lifted. I'm going to call it at 210 if I can keep that weight or lower for a week; no quick loss in water weight to squeak by. I miss eating french fries so much...
