I reached a new benchmark, though I’m still yo-yoing on my weight loss journey. I hit a new low of 229.4 pounds this week, though I gained a pound or too back and now am dropping it again as the week wore on. Still, if I can stay near 229.4 and go lower eventually, that’s nice because that makes my weight loss so far 23 pounds even and counting.
I wish I had the firmness in my diet to lose weight more swiftly, but at least what I lose, I am mostly keeping off, save for a two-three pound variance at any given time. I’m still headed in the right direction and that’s what counts, not the speed with which I lose it. Losing weight slowly but keeping it off is better than losing weight quickly, then gaining it back quickly.
But there are no shortcuts for me; with my high blood pressure, I can’t take those paths to quicker weight loss; I have to lose it the hard but honest way.
