Weight Loss Update
I am a shy 21 lbs (9.52 kg) away from my new goal of 145lbs (65.77kg).
Losing weight is a double-edged sword.
Like many I hoped I would avoid the "too much skin" phase of the weight loss process and now I am a medium-large stuck in an extra-large skin suit. For the past two weeks I've laid off my diet hoping to maintain my weight and give myself time to "adjust" so to speak and see what happens later six months down the road. I still look a hell of a lot better than I did fatter and wouldn't change it in the world; entered the phase I consider cute-pudge in others.
Though, I'm still losing weight, slightly; even after going almost six days without any major exercise (took extra work so haven't had time) and eating practically anything I wanted (staying around 1800 to 2300 cal. Today I blew it at a potluck though).
I never in my life thought it could be hard to eat more food!
There have been days I felt way too stuffed and uncomfortable. It's hard to believe I habitually ate this way for years.
So for now I'm waiting and hoping that in the long run, I can avoid needing yet another costly cosmetic surgery done to me in the future.
At the same time though, I fear gaining back what I lost.
Total weight loss: 109 lbs (49.44kg) from 275 lbs (124.73kg).
Current Weight: 166.4 lbs (75.47kg).
