Scary, scary success!
I am now half a pound under 14 stone. 13st 13.5 pounds/195.5 pounds/88.68kg. My highest weight was 20 stone/280 pounds/127kg, and my Slimming World starting weight was 19 stone 2 pounds. From my highest weight I have now lost 84.5 pounds. There are some (admittedly either short and/or dangerously skinny) adults who weigh 84.5 pounds!
My next goal weight is 13 stone/182 pounds. I've only got 13.5 pounds to go. *Scared face*. 13 stone is the weight my surgeon wants me to be before I get my double mastectomy/chest reconstruction surgery. (For new readers, I am a female-to-male transsexual. I identify as male and am (mostly) legally male apart from a few bits of bureaucracy that need to be shaken.) I don't need to be exactly 13 stone, but my brain works in black and white.
I do not know what my ultimate goal weight will be. I'm going to focus on things like body fat percentage/waist size, running speed, the maximum weight I can lift something 1 time (1RM), stamina. For a few months after surgery, I am going to be relaxed about weight gain but I am going to be as careful as I can be about comfort eating and binge eating. After that I'll focus on regaining my fitness. When you reach your goal weight at Slimming World, if you stay within 3 pounds of it either side, you can go to meetings for free (I think). As someone who is keen on weight-training, that is possibly not flexible enough for me. I'll have to talk to my consultant about it. I still want to go to meetings; I've STILL not got a healthy relationship with food.
Last night was weigh-in when I learned I was under 14 stone for the first time in 13 years or so. Consequently I had a minor over-eating session afterwards. It was very minor, but the over-eating was out of fear I could tell. Fear of success can be as bad as fear of failure. I am determined not to self-sabotage today, and will focus on healthy eating and managed snacks for the next week.
For the next few weeks I aim to lose on average half to one pound a week.
