Days 137 - 139 - Meeting with CDC

I've not posted for a few days because my life has been quite boring. I've had a little bit of work and a lot of sliding about on slushy ice and snow, much like the rest of the country. More importantly though, I've been just getting on with the diet with minimum fuss and deviation from the plan and today's weigh-in result reflects that I think. Here are my stats:
  • Weight: 14st 11lb
  • BMI: 32.9
It feels great to be past my halfway point and in the 14s at last, I'm not sure why but I really feel like some sort of milestone has been reached. My CDC was saying it might be because '14 stones' has a sort of normal sound to it, it sort of sounds like a normal sort of weight range to be in and I know exactly what he means. I'm really beginning to feel comfortable with myself, not in an 'I'll just stop here' sort of way, more in an 'I can reach my weight goal, it's not so far away any more' way. I'm just a couple of BMI points away from being out of the 'obese' range and into the 'overweight' range and I'm looking forward to that.

Although I am still losing weight, I feel like I'm not doing as well as I was before my Xmas break. I'm cheating and deviating from the plan far too often so I think it's time for a little extra push. I'm going to set a few mini goals again now so I have something to aim at. I'll have a good hard think about it over the next few days and decide what I want. I still have that cute, stripy, size 16 dress to fit into and last week I picked up some black and grey striped, skinny jeans in a size 14 that I hope to be able to wear when I reach my goal too, but I need some interim goals too just to spur me on a bit.
