The good news? I can swallow without tears jumping into my eyes. The better news? I can now stop eating for no other reason than to scratch my throat. The bad news? I'm more than likely 1.5 to 2 pounds up this week.
I didn't journal again this week. I didn't have the best food choices. I don't think that I went overboard with eating.
Obese? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, obese means the following: excessively fat. Syn: corpulent, fleshy, gross, overweight, portly, stout. Oddly enough these are words that I used to describe myself. However, would I consider myself excessively fat? Not really. I'd consider myself flabby. Fat...not in excess though. Maybe I'm delusional? Sure, I'm roll-i-er now than I was a year and a half ago. But I'm not drop in a dead stop and stare fat. Or am I? Gah...I wish I could see me as others see me. LOL...I used to say this exact thing to myself when I was thin too. Maybe I should be more worried about how I see myself!
What has led me to this train of thought? According to BMI scales I have a BMI of 30 (up from 24).
Your BMI is 30: This is above the BMI range of 20-25 which experts generally consider to be healthy. Losing weight would help your health and energy level, plus reduce your risk for disorders such as diabetes and heart disease.
BMI Ranges: Experts generally consider a BMI below 20 to be underweight and a BMI of 20 to 25 to be healthy. BMIs of 25 to 30 are generally considered overweight while a BMI over 30 is generally considered very overweight (obese).
I have to lose 30 more pounds to be considered "healthy". Some times it seems so easy. Other times (like this week) it seems so far away and unattainable. More good news? After crappy weeks like this, I have a really good week and lose the week after.
Wish me luck for Saturday...9:45 am Saturday morning starts a new beginning!
