Ok, cool. It's been about 6 weeks since I quit smoking


Congratulations on quitting smoking. I did it for myself 10 years ago.

Well, this weight is my "eat what I want when I want (but don't go crazy)
and only do a minimum of exercise" weight. It's nice to know that in my
current way of life, eating mostly low-carb and exercising regularly is
just normal now, and what I'm doing when I'm not even trying is enough to
keep me from gaining past this point.

Because I haven't been pushing myself to stop eating even when I'm still
hungry, and I haven't been pushing myself to do more exercise or higher
intensity exercise, I feel like I've been on a break, even though this
"break" is nowhere near as unhealthy a lifestyle as I had pre-lc.

Pre-lc, if I wanted a snack, I'd eat a whole bag of potato chips. In my
"not trying to lose weight" phase as of late, if I want a snack I have some
almonds, pistachios, cheese, or steamed buttered broccoli, something like
that. During "weight loss" mode, if I want a snack, I just butch up and go
do something else.

If you can find weight and woe where you are not food crazed and
stable, that's very wonderful.

Paleo and weight 173 is probably the sweet spot for me.

weight but it seems to have stabilized. I went from 149-151 pounds to
156-158, and it's been holding steady for about 2 weeks now. I increased
aerobic exercise for a few days but I hated it so I went back to just doing
the weight training and walking. I've quit binge eating, but other than
that I haven't been consciously restricting how much I eat. I've had a few
carby splurges, like a 20g carbs chocolate bar once or twice a week, (I
wasn't low-carb at all at Dragoncon this past weekend, but I was also far
more active than usual, so I don't think it hurt me.) Never went
completely off low-carb, just less strict than when I was actively trying
to lose weight. Seems my body has stabilized at this weight for now, and I
feel mentally and emotionally stable, so it's time to nudge up the exercise
and nudge down the eating, and get back into the losing game. )

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

It's amazing what we can do when we start living and quit obsessing. I am
living proof.
