Still alive. Still rocking.
In case anyone hadn't guessed, I'm seriously bad at sticking with stuff like posting journals/comments/updates/anything that involves making an effort. Hence the apparent lack of activity from me. That's probably why I always failed at 'diets'; I just can't stick to a routine that requires effort. I'm a born procrastinator who never actually gets around to things. Just be thankful you've never seen my apartment...disaster zone.
However...! If you take a look through my food entries, you'll see that I've still managed to log my food every day (woohoo!) thanks to the awesome FS app. It makes life way easier for lazy people like me. I honestly don't think I could have managed without it. For some reason it won't let me set it to "everything I've eaten today" but I don't care as long as it logs the actual values.
So just to update you folks:
- I've now lost over 50lbs (nearly 4 stone, to other UK peoples)
- I'm nowhere near being "clinically obese" anymore. Just plain old obese lol
- Today my ticker changed from amber to yellow
- Today, for the first time in years, I've dropped below the 16 stone mark (224lbs to non-UK peoples)
I should explain that today is a major milestone for me, because for many of my failed 'diets' I would set myself an easier goal of 16 stone rather than facing that daunting task of losing the weight all in one go. I figured if I could get to 16 stone, then I could succeed in losing the rest...otherwise I was a failure. Of course I never got anywhere near 16 stone because they were stupid unsustainable 'diets' and I felt awful that I couldn even reach a smaller goal. However I always kept that 16 stone milestone in my head.
However, today I weighed in at 15st 13lbs. That is EPIC! I guess it's just confirmed to me that I can do this, that I am doing this.
Life after weightloss?
Yep, I've even started thinking about life after weight-loss. That's how comfortable I am with where my life is going. I'm already taking control on my life, so now I want to look to the future and act on it.
For example, I'm now developing a really strong desire to help other people who are struggling with weight/fitness and I desperately want to tell them the 'secret' to losing weight. I want to help people to do what I'm doing. No idea how I'm supposed to do that, but it really pains me to watch so many friends & colleagues around me struggling constantly without ever achieving anything. They deserve to be happy, not contantly torturing themselves with never-ending 'diets'.
So...any ideas? What can I do to share the love?
