My first milestone, thought I'd mention it.
Got a scale on Amazon, it arrived on July 26. I watched the women's Euro Final on July 27. I roughly started weight loss at those occasions. The scale was supposed to do my body fat by impedance (sending an electric pulse, BIA) but it seems to only do a different thing, BMI, by calculating today's weight against my height, that's disappointing. I started out in late July thinking I was probably 215 or 210 pounds but the scale said 205 pounds. I wavered between 201 and 203 regularly for a few weeks. Today (August 12) I managed to hit 199.1 pounds. I haven't really done much radical, except cut out extremes (is it radical to be less radical?). I eat and stop, I don't push-eat (my term, maybe you can tell what I mean), I let sugar-free sparkly drinks (rather than creamy desserts) fill my stomach to bloated so that I can have that "hits the bottom" feeling, I walk around the block halfway through every meal, I skip a lot of breakfasts, I stopped buying high-fat dairy, I went sugar-free on everything, and I started regularly buying celery hearts and leaving them stacked in the bottom of the fridge. With the celery, I just grab it and eat it constantly, whenever I want a snack. I tend to throw out about 15% of the celery because it goes bad rather than getting eaten, but I'd rather waste the food than (the old calculus) "clean your plate." My irresponsibility has changed from over- to under- use of the resource, I guess.
Note, this is probably going to be a throw-away Reddit membership, I tend to prefer to leave no social media traces.
