I did not post for a long time.
The first reason was that I
regained some weigh and I realized that it would be hypocritical to write about
weight loss while gaining weight.
Then, I got COVID-19 and after recovering, I felt
that I deserved to allow myself to eat the “good” food.
It is not the first time that I moved away from
the healthy weight that I worked so hard to achieve eleven years ago. In my previous
mini weight gains since then, when the scale showed that I am 10 or 20 pounds
above 170, I would go back to stricter compliance with the approach that had led
me to the weigh lose before, and it would bring the weight back closer to the
170 pounds point.
Why would I let myself gain weight? The answer is simple. My
arrogance. I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal if I gain a few pounds, because
I was a positive example of successful weight loss and I knew how to lose
weight if needed.
Now, however the difference between 170 pounds and my current
weight it so big that I am ashamed to write it here. Fear, my strongest
motivation for weight loss, is forcing me to take action. My blood test showed
that I am very close to diabetes.
So, the weight loss journey starts again. It actually
already started six day ago and I am relieved that it is working. Today, the scale shows that
my number is 3.4 pounds lower than what it was on March 2nd.
