40.9% I ate cookie dough again yesterday (2 cookies worth), but the scale rewards me anyway. How nice of it! Not a bad loss for the day, even if its not as much as I'd hoped for for the week. I will really have to start losing fast if I still want to make 175 by my trip to Philly. At a rate of 2 lbs a week, I'll be 177 by that time. Last time my girlfriend from Philly visited me, in 2005 (when I weighed somewhere between 175 and 185) I felt very conscious of my weight. She is really, really skinny. I orginally met her on the internet, and I remember that my jaw dropped a little when, before we'd met in person, she complained that her weight had gotten all the way up to 120 lbs. Knowing that she is 5'8", I said, "well, wait, how much did you weigh before?" 108 lbs. 108 lbs at 5'8"! A lot of people said I was way too skinny when I was 5'6" and 120, and although I didn't agree, I personally have no desire to be 108. Once I got down to 113, but only because I was really sick. Anyway, I am rambling, but my point is that even though she is one of my best friends, I may be feeling very conscious of my weight when I visit her. That is the only thing that I don't enjoy about her-- that I can sit there stewing in my (formerly over 200 lbs) while she talks about how disgustingly fat she is at 125. It's not a big deal, though, because I am confident in who I am as a person, and in her case, she will probably not achieve the 108 lbs she yearns for (I think this was and would be unhealthy). I think she is mostly more healthily focused on toning up now, and on (more so) accepting her body the way it is. And I am happier with my body too only because I am on my way down instead of up!
TTFN, my buddies! Have a great day!
