Well that didn't take long, 258 this morning. I have no clue, it doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm certainly happy about it.
258 for me is a milestone number for me, it is the least I have weighed since I was 25.
Today's challenge is going to be dinner out with friends. Shouldn't be too difficult and a lot tastier than normal. We're going to an Indian restaurant. I've pre-scanned the menu and decided that while it might be impossible to avoid added oil, I can easily avoid animal fat and protein.
I guess I'm looking forward to tonight, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. The wife and I have always considered ourselves to be "foodies", one of our favorite "hobbies" was finding new restaurants, and trying new dishes. I think I've mentioned before that since starting this WOE, I pretty much hate going to restaurants. So tonight will be the first time going to a restaurant where I can actually order a main course off the menu. That's comforting to me, most likely because I AM a food addict.
As someone who has literally spent years dieting (I'm sure many of us on here have) I'm somewhat aware that I have "triggers". I probably worry too much about going off this WOE. It just seems too easy, too healthy, too tasty, like it's a trick or something. I know it's not of course, the scale and the blood work do not lie. This is also the first time in my life that, in my mind, my goal weight, is just a matter of time. What I mean is, it's already a foregone conclusion, the only question is how long will it take?
So my experience of being "normal" tonight (ordering a regular dish), concerns me because it does seem to mean something to me. I'm probably not making any sense, but let's just say I'm jotting this down for historical purposes.
