It's Friday 216lbs

Hello all

It is Friday June 16th and the scale said 216lbs this morning. I've lost 18lbs since May 3rd.

I know in 6lbs I can start trying on 2004 clothing, that I bought when I first started gaining the weight when I was 200-208lbs in May 2004. At that point I thought there was no way I'd get bigger and I'd soon be back down to 178lbs as I was 188lbs in February 2004 and feeling frustrated with the extra 10lbs in February, by May I was upset I was over 200 lbs. Little did I know it was only the beginning and within 2 months of buying these clothes in May I would be 227lbs. Then by the fall over 230lbs in 2004. For some reason at that time I could not stop eating. I ate and ate and ate while telling myself off inside my head with every bite. For 2 years I've been doing this. Right now, I'm doing well and can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Now I'm on the way down - it is going to be good to revisit my wardrobe!

I am going to look for a work out bench to accompany my weights. I was going to buy a bike, but Chris won't wear a helmet when bicycling and that concerns me. I keep reading articles about adults who fall off the bike who then injure their brain and become a vegetable. Chris is stubbornly determined not to wear a bike helmet when cycling, and I just can't encourage that by asking him to bike with me. It gives me a knot in my stomach, and takes out all the "fun" from the idea of cycling. It's like watching someone not wear a seatbelt - no matter how good a driver you are - someone could hit you and that seatbelt (or bike helmet) can save your life!

Anyhow, today is a good day. It's going to be sunny with a high of 28. Warm walking weather over lunch. On Friday's I work 7:30 a.m. to 3:30pm. So I am up with the birds!

Have yourself a great Friday!

Namaste
