Today is my youngest daughters 3rd Birthday and of course there’ll be cake. As it’s also a Sunday there’ll be a traditional Sunday Dinner. It’s also the day before I set out to drop the final 16lbs to get to my goal of 173lbs.
You might imagine that I’m going to pig out and eat as much as I can but honestly I’m not.
One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about my weight loss so far, is how good it feels to be thinner. I’ve gone down a jeans size and my new jeans are feeling loose now.
So OK, I’ve put a few pounds on over Christmas and I did so knowingly, but I’ve pretty much hit the limit of how much damage I’m prepared to inflict on my progress.
The fact is, I don’t feel like pigging out. I’ve been turning my nose up at crap food I would normally eat without even thinking about it.
So yes, today I’ll eat birthday cake. Today I’ll eat a nice meal with my family but beyond that I won’t be eating just for the sake of eating.
When I weigh in tomorrow morning I hope I’m still 189lbs or less. 190lbs is somewhere I don’t want to be again, unless of course that weight is made up from muscle and not fat!
I’m updating early today as I want to enjoy the day with my family and I want to work out how to download images from my new camera so I can start posting weight loss pictures again.
