False alarm: baby Matthew was not up, but rather my oversized cat was playing upstairs. 🐘 Henrietta is a reclusive night owl, and she is loving the new house and all the space. I’m SO RELIEVED it wasn’t Matty. In light of him sleeping, I came back down to a cold glass of tap water and returned to bed. Old me would have been eating something- a sandwich, a bowl of ice cream, cookies. But I’ll be fasting now til milk in my coffee at 5. And then again until my post-work supper at 5pm. That seems to work best for me. I need to set parameters for my OMAD so I don’t overeat. And I like to stop eating at 7. Different strategy from summer only slightly as I used to ingest 300-700 calories of fruit, chicken, tuna and milk before 10am on my break. Then dinner was more chicken and veggies for an additional 500-700 calories. This also worked well. I am trying to get a maximum of 1300 calories in a day, and about 200 - 400 calories from milk in my coffee. I am of Scandinavian decent so don’t even try to talk me out of milk and coffee routine 😆
I’m 5’8 I found out this year. I’ve lost 2 inches due to disc degeneration. I’m averaging at 165 pounds and I am aiming to try to lose 20 more. I’m in size 10/11 jeans and my chest is 36B/ size Medium USA and Large EU. And in case you’re wondering, my feet are 10 USA and 41 EU 😂🤷🏻♀️
These measurements are important because since my journal is public it is possible that another person struggling may fall in to this entry and think, what’s she got to lose? My BMI is on the high end of normal at 165, and I have a goal of 145 because then I’d be on the lower end. 145 would be very slim for me, so I’ll reevaluate my goal as the weight comes off.
I don’t want to be inconsiderate of anyone’s goals on this site because I’m crazy about it and it’s been a life changing place for me. But it’s really hard seeing girls at 120, 110, 105 pounds. I’ve always wanted to know how that feels. To be petite and slender. To be tiny. I’m like Wonder Woman, an Amazon. I tower over most women and am formidable to most men. I’ll never be aiming for anything under 145 pounds because I have to maintain my health and being under weight isn’t any better than the other side. But dang, it really is hard to not compare numbers (scale envy) and know full well that I’m always going to be bigger than most women. 😞
I want to feel strong, slender, and powerful. Those are healthy traits, I believe. Those are achievements possible for me. I am so very close to my goal. I have between 5 and 20 pounds I would love to see come off my waist... my hips.... my butt my thighs... plenty of padding that can be turned to muscle and trimmed down. I just really dislike being above 160 😖
Well I guess I’ll stop rambling on about numbers. Not expecting much of a drop tomorrow if any. Probably won’t record a weight. Okay now I’m really done.

I learned that numbers are never something to be jealous of.I Personally for me, at 145# I don't look healthy, I look sick (and I'm 5'7"). I spent a summer exclusively riding my bike 10 miles a day, weighed 130# and kids at school thought I had been deathly ill all summer.
Still on numbers, one of my former customers has a bank account that I know ends in 9 zeroes. He's a miserable bastard, divorced like 4 times, in his early 70's, kids sitting there waiting for him to die so they can have the money. I'm quite happy with my checking account that hopefully has 1 zero at the end and a bunch of people who love me.
Either one is just a number. Don't let a number control your happiness or drown out all the work you've done to get where you are today and where you will be tomorrow.

Everyone has, at one time or another, looked at another person and wished to be in their shoes. now, just because yours are a size 10... lol, but, seriously, there are those among us who wish the world was filled with more folks with that go-get-'em, make-it-happen, Amazonian mindset that you have!

Chimming in with the rest—- most people would like to be a “little something else”. I am 5’3” and would love to be 5’8” like my sister— she would love to be 5’6”. Her hair is so thick they have to thin it out whereas mine is so thin I think I will just shave it off someday.. I have to use a step stool for everything. These are just normal ramblings. My tall sister looks anorexic at 140 lbs. she feels her best look is at 150. Own your wonderful heritage. Your family is from the Norse stock—- that is VIKING, WARRIOR HERITAGE.

I am working on bodyfat not pounds - you can't judge other people for their number since a short person will be sad at 110 if they are only 4'-8" (I know some small people!).

Is the measure of feet important? I have never thought about the weight in that area.
