So, despite nixing the tracking and exercise over this weekend, the pile of food from friends, neighbors, and relatives in my Mom's house, and my tendency toward emotional eating, my numbers still made me smile this week. I'm down to 230.5. In half a pound, I can officially declare myself free of the Depo-Provera weight gain. In a pound and a half I will have lost 50 pounds off my highest weight. After returning to Rochester, I got right back into my eating and exercising routine. It was tough at first, but remembering the part in my Dad's eulogy about how he once ran 20 miles every week is a good motivator. I am still brimming with energy. I had so many compliments from my relatives about my weight loss that I feel them like a challenge to keep things going well. What I am proudest about is being able to truly enjoy food and still lose weight. No, I can't gnarf it all down like I used to. I mean, I am capable of it, but I am also capable of making the choice to proportion what goes onto my plate in a way that will benefit my body rather than bogging it down. Anyhow, that's how I am progressing toward taking off my fat suit. One ounce at a time.
