Day 209: Monday weigh-in and anger dissipated

It's time for the Monday weigh-in: My current body weight is 249 pounds. That's a 9 pound loss for the week, 148 pounds lost since surgery, and 171 pounds lost overall. That pretty well wiped out the anger I was feeling from Saturday night. That also puts my BMI to 33.8. Still obese, but a lot closer to overweight. When you consider that when I started my journey at 420 pounds last June at a BMI of 57.0 that's a huge difference. Change for the better, definitely. I'm honestly amazed at that seeing as I didn't really work out or even walk that much last week. That also means I've lost 77 percent of my excess weight. Having passed the 250 mark means I've also reached a mini-goal. Yay, me!

Some NSV's of note from the last week:

Sitting down at the Lab and not getting grabbed by the chair in the waiting room.

My size 42 jeans fitting just a bit on the loose side.

My shoes and boots getting a little loose.

So I'm getting there and my body seems to be in a rush to get there now. It's like after 6 months of rapid weight loss, my body needed a month to reorganize and reset and now I'm losing again. As long as it comes off, that's the important thing. I hope that anger didn't have any effect on my weight loss. I'd hate to think that the anger kicked my metabolism into overdrive, but it is possible. I just can't maintain that anger safely for long. Someone would get hurt. Probably me.

Min Tian Jian!
