Well
the 190 lb. barrier is in the past, and now it's 185 lbs.
As
always, I procrastinate, thinking there is always more time, but I
have 57 days to get down to 170, and considering going past that
to165 or 160.
When
I look down and I still see the bulge in my stomach, but the 20+
pounds I lost already are showing in other ways. I seldom notice my
hip anymore, and the neuropathy in my right foot seems to be
diminishing.
Most
people tend to forget that the problems they have in life, come on
slowly, over many years, and they sometimes take just as long to go
away.
You
don't gain 40 pounds, and all the health problems it brings
overnight. You spent years loading up that weight, and your body has
spent years trying to deal with it and slowly failing. So taking a
year to lose it with Diet
1
is actually quite fast. But perceptually it's slow enough that you
don't notice.
Not
until a friend asks if you've got a new hairstyle or you happen to
compare photos from last year, when you started Diet
1.
Like
me, you may at various points, notice that this pain or that is not
there anymore or doesn't seem as bad. You might notice you are
moving about more, not to get exercise, but just because you can.
Today
I helped Bernie out with his camper again, and started on a long day
of snacking, carrying it right through to doughnuts with my Erie
writers group in the evening.
Gina's
knee is getting worse and she is counting the days until the new one,
October 3rd. And I got a haircut today, finally. A bit short, but it
will be good until spring.
Also
jotted down new kid story this morning “Penny”, about a girl who
gets famous pitching pennies.
Can
our hero, hit that 170 pound mark?
Stay
tuned for more adventures of Fat Boy!
