diet update

[yendi]

So, the diet hadn't been going too hot, or so I thought. I'd definitely fallen off the wagon a few times, at least. But we were shopping today, and I weighed myself (using the same scale I always do, of course), and I've dropped below 200! Mind you, that's another way of saying I'm at 199, but it's still a drop! Woohoo! I celebrated by having a Skinny Cow Mint Ice Cream Sandwich for dessert. Go me!

Dude, I wish I weighed 200. Stop worrying about it so much.

Congrats! It sounds like you're making progress. Nobody ever manages to stick to a diet perfectly anyway, so I wouldn't worry about falling off a bit here and there as long as you aren't doing anything excessive.

RAWK!! you go!!! =) i'm so proud of you, man...

[yendi]

Thanks! Yeah, there was some excessiveness, alas, but it's nice to know it didn't destroy me, either. I'm fine with taking it gradually.

This has been a monkey on my back for years. It's a good feeling to finally have forward progress.

Thanks!

Yeah, it is a good feeling to meet a goal, and congratulations for that, but don't obsess over it. You're not grotesquely overweight like me.

Yay! Dieting is horrible but rewarding! I'm planning on doing the diet thing as of Nov 1st, you and tikimama are now my official Inspirations.

Congratulations! I know how good it feels to get below that certain number....

Now, I've got to get back on track, too.

[yendi]

Yeah, that was like a magic number. It's been a few years since I was this side of 200. Now if I can only work on the other magic number (waist size).

I don't doubt you can get back on track. I'm pretty sure I was more fallen than most.

You have a monkey?

[yendi]

I'm an Inspiration! Cool!

Setting a date to start is a great idea (and not making it Jan 1 is even better). Good luck!

[podling]

See, I was all going to be supportive, but then the whole monkey thing just threw me. Anyway, that's totally faboo! I need to lose some poundage myself, but it's so not working for me. But you go boy!

He said monkey, not crazymonkeyloveslave. Though I've heard that crazymonkeyloveslaves are good for weight loss.

[yendi]

I used to, but it's gotten off my back. Now it's just something George Michael sings about.

Woo! Go you!!! And Skinny Cow totally rocks. Mmmmm, ice cream. Wait, I shouldn't want ice cream at 10 a.m. See what you've done?

Um, I'm better now.

Re:

[podling]

I've heard that too, about crazymonkeyloveslaves being good for that. So far it's just an unsubstantiated rumour in my eyes.

[podling]

Hmmn. You know, that's what I thought of when I saw your comment too. Hehehe. Umm. Now I want to listen to the song. Damn.

"Don't look now there's a monkey on your back..."

Hooray! Good for you! I love those milestones, they really do keep one going. Keep at it, with Skinny Cows, anything is possible.

You're re-inspiring me to get back on the program, and conquer that last 15lbs. It's a inspiration feedback-loop!

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I dunno about that... I had some, er, worrying news in May that sent me straight to the chocolate and ice cream and I think I've regained somewhere between 10 and 15 of the pounds that I had lost last year. :(

I'm going to mostly wait until after my trip to my aunt's at T'giving, though, because she reallyreally likes to cook and she's reallyreally good at it....
