The Weigh In
I’m getting closer and closer to the 200 barrier, by that I mean breaking below 200 pounds on my weigh ins. Today, I was 202.2, which is so close that I can almost taste it.
A chart of my weight loss
Looking over my chart of weight loss, it’s easy to see that I should be below 200 pounds today. I’ve fallen off the wagon a bit much though. I think part of it maybe fear of breaking below 200.
What’s Wrong with Being Sub-200?
Well, that’s the thing. There is nothing wrong with being sub 200. In fact, getting to 165 is sort of the goal of this little diet experiment. What’s wrong and frightful is getting there only to gain the weight back in the other direction.
It’s really quite funny that I even sorta stress about this. 200 is just an arbitrary number. I coulda easily picked 202.5 or something silly like that. However, the human mind acts in strange ways, most of which are not even logical. Therefore, I’m not gonna try to understand it. Instead, I’m just gonna stay on course and wave goodbye to 200 as I pass it by in the next week or so. LOL
About Tom
I had the same issue with 200. Was hovering right above it for way too long. Then one day I broke through — and I haven’t been back, not even close. It’s been a couple years now.
Patience and sticking-to-it are the right things.
Yeah, it’s funny how the human mind works. We pick some random piece of data, latch onto it and let it screw with us mentally.
Thanks for the encouraging words. Hopefully 200 will be a distant memory soon.
