Okay, I give up, you win. I am very impressed.

I am not sure what I did this past week and since I do not Journal
anymore other than eating the same basic stuff, there is nothing to
check against. I did not get as much exercise but maybe raking up and
wheelbarrowing lots and lots of leaves. Or maybe my portions are
actually smaller than I perceive, other than breakfast where I know I
am doing more than one cup of cereal.

Gotta tell you, I don't understand what your sister said. Do you think she
meant that when you get to 155, you will want to weigh less than that?

Yes, that is what she meant. That each time I move the line down for
"safety" I might want to move it down just a bit further so that I
draw a new safety line and don't approach the OLD one - like 164, oh,
well, 160, hmm, 158..... 155, 154?. So maybe shooting for 155
should be just a rough idea and hovering now would be fine. Up a
pound down a pound. I know the rules. I occasionally break the rules
but not really as I quickly try reining it back in. Like purchasing a
Costco Fruitcake today (g) It is sliced and frozen save the one piece
I have already eaten. And I probably "chawed" half a bag of gummy
bears last night and these are not tiny bags.

have wondered that a lot myself. This week, at 157 and thereabouts, I find
that I totally don't want to get much more off. I don't feel quite as well
as I do at 160. But I want to stay under 160. I may be done, right here.
I will get my NYNY goal this week unless some really bizarre thing happens.

You know I just had to look to see what the goal was. I was not sure
it was 160 or 155. So I will call a truce, too. Life fireworks -
safe and sane.

So you win. Not going there most likely. (unless you gain of course)

I will gain, of course. Xmas parties are coming up. And last night I
was asked to make a gourmet, decadent dessert like my Christmas log
(what a pain that one always is!!!) I'm still thinking of the sweet
potato cheesecake but maybe frosting it with a chocolate glaze.

Okay here we go:

I am down since last week: 1.8 pounds

(that is using my base clothing measurements which means removing 1.6
pounds from the current wardrobe) But I'm down in any event 0.2
pounds even with the heavier clothing. So I guess the chocolate cake
on Sat night was not deadly - YES!

Current weight: 156.6 (heavier clothing 158.2)

But I will mention my sister's take on this minimum weight issue (she,
by the way has never had a weight problem other than being UNDER most
of her life!!!). I mentioned getting to 155 to have a sufficient
clothing cushion. She suggested as some of us have discussed then you
will not want to move much from there and will try being just a bit
lower to keep 155 and so on and so forth and ...... Which is what
I've been thinking. So what does it mean. I have no idea (g)
