Default Day 27 -- no change, still 17 pounds gone

1-27-07

365/248/200 Day 27 and still 17 pounds gone.

I got on my scale this morning and saw that the indicator showed I
weighed s-l-i-g-h-t-l-y more than 248 and that motivated me to take
off my winter clothes and find out exactly where I was at. If the
indicator had bounced substantially higher - maybe like a kid on a
trampoline - I wouldn't have done it, but I did find it rewarding to
find out what I weighed this morning. And when I weighed myself again
without clothes, I was smack-dab in the middle of the 248, and I found
that quite positive for me. So the loss I have experienced over the
last few stays remains.

I didn't exercise yesterday but I did the day before. We've been
coming home from work somewhat late and we had to pick up our car from
a shop. I hope to exercise later today if my right foot feels good.

I'm still limiting the food choices I have - again I am reminded of
people around the world who keep a healthy weight and in part this is
because of limitations of food choices, as well as portions. And
certainly there are many hundreds of millions of people who probably
would willingly swap my overweight for their undernourished condition.
I imagine those people who live longest have not visited fancy
restaurants on a regular basis.

I don't know what makes people find a good diet plan and adhere to it
suddenly one, but there are a variety of factors that lead people to
go astray. They include, I think: variety of foods, people offering
their own dietary suggestions, people setting very difficult goals for
themselves in terms of eating and exercise, unrealistic weight-loss
goals, being emotionally battered by weight-loss gains, having problem
foods in the house, being in the habit of mindless eating - especially
of high-calorie high-palatation foods, not maintaining at least
minimal motivation day after day and week after week and month after
month, perhaps drinking alcohol (which reduces "won't power," leads to
worthless calories, and leads one to return to the kitchen as soon as
the glass is empty), not keeping at least rough track of the calories
in and also of scale weight, etc.

I'm sure working on a lot of the above factors myself but I intend to
keep on this diet at this until about mid-May when my bet will be over
and I will be quite close to 200 pounds. I'm not going to wait until I
have perfect control in all of the above areas before I lose my extra
weight.

I'm employing a rather brainless, simple approach to the weight loss
effort (low-calorie, daily weighing, etc.) and there is none of the
emotional turmoil that I have felt in the past.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday and a great weekend and week
ahead!

Yours truly,

Caleb
