Well my friends, winter is slowly fading. The days are getting longer on both ends, and the people are starting to rise out of their seasonal funks with spring just around the corner. And stuff like that.

I’m down another 0.8 today. I was stuck for a few days. I think it was a matter of adjusting to my new calorie range, once I had been advanced to the next food phase. That’s right, I am no longer relegated to mushy foods. I can eat pretty much anything, except breads.

I am down to a size 18 jeans, from a 22, so, still in the plus sizes, and it will take some time, but I’ll get there. Size 8 would be great. Size 6 would be amazing, I just don’t know how attainable.

I’ve seen lots of people on the WDH site who’ve lost 100 pounds or more, easily more than 95% of their excess weight. They look really good, so it makes me think there’s no reason why I can’t do the same.

If I lost 100 pounds, that would make me 109. So I don’t even need to lose 100 pounds, because I think 109 would be too thin. I was 109 at 20 and pretty sure I looked gaunt. I would be thrilled to get down to 115-20.

I mean, I did this whole thing to myself. I might as well go all in, right?

I think my chest has already shrunk down a tiny bit, and I see no evidence of weirdness so far. Usually, when I lose weight, it’s the first thing to go.

I hope and pray that I don’t have a ton of extra skin at the end of this. I can’t afford cosmetic surgery. However, it is likely to be a non-issue, because I will probably have friction rashes from excess skin, anyway. My skin is extremely sensitive. So if that’s the case, I’ll probably be able to have it covered by insurance. I just have heard it’s a painful process.

Anyway, believe it or not, I get tired of talking about this stuff and about myself and I am boring myself right now.

In other news, Desmond did so well on his explanatory essay that his teacher emailed us and his entire academic team about it. Isn’t that something? We are very proud of him. I’m so happy that he can write. Not surprised, but very glad. I have the smartest kids.
