Week 13 - .8 pounds

Weigh in: 211.5 pounds
Total loss: 33.8 pounds

I'm at this weird place in my body where I'm not quite fat anymore, but not at all thin either.

Obviously, I've lost some weight and I feel great. I am at the edge of normal clothing sizes which will eventually give my a lot more options when I get around to shopping again. I don't feel so grossly swollen like I did before the diet started.

And yet...not thin. I still have a lot of weight that I would like to lose. I would like to get down a couple more sizes of pants. I'm guessing that I am at the halfway point to where I would like to end up. And I'm tired of the Healthy Solutions part of the diet already. Oh no!

I know what is happening. I have hit the three month limit to my dieting attention span.

Almost any diet I have gone on in the past has had about a three month shelf life before I lose interest and give up. Luckily, this time I don't feel like giving up. I just feel like changing things around a little. And my counselor is encouraging me to do that. The idea is to keep me interested and willing to keep working on it. If I feel stagnated by what I am doing, then we will come up with a different plan that fits better. I love this attitude by the weight loss staff.

I will be working out my new plan with her during the next week and I'll let you know what the end result is. The most important end result will be that I will continue to lose weight.
