Unintended Consequences
The weight loss has slowed down a bit, but I expected that. It’s not possible to lose almost a pound a day and stay healthy. I’m currently at 260 and I suspect I wont break 255 for maybe 10 days. The new goal is 230 by my birthday, July 8.
But what’s been surprising is the things that have come with the weight loss. An obvious one but one I didn’t think of is no more pain in my ankles. I wasn’t exactly hobbling, but they were giving me some trouble. Now that’s gone. Next is my skin. I have always had bad skin, I still have bad skin, I will always have bad skin. But! not as bad. I attribute that more to my improved diet than the weight. Also, I think my brain is working better. I feel like my memory is sharper, and my thinking clearer. That might just be the result of having a better outlook in general, but my gut says that it’s in part due to better health. And the TMI portion of this post: my bowels are more regular, and I fart much less.
