Had fun with guests but happy to be back on track. I gained one pound during the visit but was overall pretty careful. As of next Wednesday, my usual weigh-in day, I intend to have that pound be history and hope I can maybe even lose a little more.
Huge wake up call today. Saw a specialist for the pain in my leg. While there are some treatment options, the biggest impact will be from losing weight. SO, I can choose to stay fat and miss out on many physical things I love, or I can control the one thing in my control - my weight. He said that exercise is good but the biggest impact on weight loss is diet. He was not understanding, or tactful & basically made it clear that the effort I make will produce much bigger results than anything he can do with meds or surgery. I already suspected this outcome, but hearing it so blatantly from him makes it real.
I am going to check a BMI chart now and change my goal weight to whatever the mid range weight is for my height. I have not been honest with myself and have feared failure, but ignoring the truth isn't helping me. I now have documented health problems related to my weight.
Back to the business of losing weight, pursuing good health, assuming responsibility for my happiness, and leaving excuses behind.
Update to self... OMG! I just checked the mid range BMI for my height and it's 120lbs!. Holy moly! I weighed 136 in 6th grade! Okay, I think I better go for 'within' the healthy BMI range which is 145lbs. (Just below the top of the range.) If I reach that goal, I'll see how I feel about losing another 25 lbs.
