So… the one year anniversary of beginning my Eat Less of Better Things and Exercise More plan is here.
I can’t seem to find my measuring tape again,(seems to be a reoccurring theme around this place.) but I am looking, so when I find it I will update my measurements. Then again, they probably shouldn’t be much different than this last time.
- Weight: 159.5
- BMI: 25.7 almost out of the ‘overweight’ bracket
This year I chose not to take them in my underwear and am instead wearing a bikini I have been hanging on to for 12 years. The top actually doesn’t look so bad. The rest? Not so much.
Overall I can say it was not a complete success. I know have lost 32 pounds, and a bunch of inches. But as I have written, I did not eat healthy, rarely truly exercised other than taking walks to the store or library. The positive feedback I have received from my new self is feeding the not eating. I look good, I must be doing it right. The only positive about not eating is that when I do eat I cannot physically eat as much as I used to, I get fuller faster on less.
I wish I hadn’t deleted the pictures I took last year, I would love to compare them to now and see the difference. I don’t take many pictures as I don’t like how heavy I look in them so I have nothing to compare. Although, Someone did give my Mom a picture of us girls from Christmas 2007 this Christmas and just my face looked HUGE. I have always had a chubby face and a little double chin, but I looked horrible.
I don’t want to beat myself up. I did lose weight. I NEVER keep this (or any) resolution without paying for help (Jenny or WW) so I have that going for me. However, I do have more weight to lose or just firm up; it’s the start of a new year and I have a whole new fresh start.
