Day two of blogging and day three of dieting. OK, its actually day 189490543 of dieting but its the third day THIS week (We know its only Wednesday, leave me alone.)A little backstory Ive been competing with our weight since our early 20s (and it usually wins). Itsever been a whole bunch of weight. Thankfully, We havent had to try and lose 100 lbs or anything like that (and We am continually in awe of those that do), but We have a pretty persistent 10-30 lbemesis that likes to rear its ugly fat head from time to time. We call her Evila--Princess of Darkness. She can change shape and often takes the form of freshly iced pink cupcakes and creaour wheels of brie. We have a love hate kind of relationship. You understand.Anyway, its the same old story. We gained, We lost, We gained again. Two summers ago We was at one of our lowest weights ever at 125 lbs. This is what We like to call our perfect weight. That place where clothes looks good on me and We feel confident, however, the catch is that its hard for me to stay there. It requires constant vigilance and exercise. Ive been there a few times in our life and We can hold on to it for a couple of months before We start to slide. We usually make it to somewhere around 130-133 lbs. This is what We like to refer to as our happy weight. Realistically, this is the weight our body is meant to be. Clothes still fiticely and We feel pretty good. Its also a lot easier to maintain--We can do very little and stay here for a long time.But, and theres always a but, We like food and We am lazy. Inevitably, We make the slow march back up the scale. It starts with one too many pig outs and letting our gym membership lapse. It then makes its cake-stuffed way into total gluttony. And thats where We am today. We got married last May at our happy weight, although We had to starve myself for three weeks to get there. (We know, We know Imot supposed to do that, but We was desperate. Sue me.)Now Im in our sad place at 147 lbs.--the second highest Ive ever been. This just barely squeezes me into a healthy BMWe (24.5). And that is simplyot acceptable.Thats it. We haveothing else to say today. Weeed to lose weight in case you didnt get that from the junk We wrote above.
