BMI and othere random thoughts

Jun 08, 2011

Only 20 more pounds before I have a "normal" weight!  I cannot believe that.  When one has over 100 lbs to lose, the task can see so daunting.  At this point in my journey it actually seems "doable." 

In the past I would kill myself for a week (not exactly but you know attempt to diet) and maybe lose one stinkin pound.  On the rare occasion I would shop for clothes...nothing ever fit or looked half way decent.  It was just easier to eat.  Does that make sense?  Such a vicious cycle.  Depressed, eat, more depressed, eat something else, and so on. 

My actual goal is to get down to 120 pounds.  Now my ticker says 125 because at my smallest (in hs) I was 135 and remembered thinking "just ten more pds."  To get an accurate assessment and not just a "guesstimate", I plan on getting an iDXA scan done in October.  This will give me a better picture of what a true/appropriate weight is for my body.  At 5'1" one would think under 120lbs would be better but of course we all have different body structure. 

One thing I can say for sure....it will be interesting to see where I end up.
