Week 2 - 275 (- 8.5 lbs)

Another full week down and I am still on the downslope!  That's a good thing.  Weighting in every day really does help,  I'm not getting all hung up on the numbers so much.  Even though this week I lost less than last, it's fine.  My goal is 2lbs per week (if possible), and I know some weeks ill hit it and others I won't.  It's feeling a little more normal now, which is a good thing.  I did take a few days off of fasting just because I wanted to.  I think the real benefit is just not eating after 8 pm, so If I just keep doing that, I'll be fine.  Also, I don't want to feel trapped in this or any other system so letting go of it a day here and there feels good.

I still feel pretty motivated and hope this is how I feel all the time, a new normal, but let's be honest probably not. I know for a fact there will not be a time I don't want to eat chocolate. Any form of it is good with me.  Shit, ill even eat dark chocolate, or as I like to call it "old people chocolate"!

Week 5 - 266 (- 17.5 lbs)

I missed last week for various reasons, but I am back! Been pretty good, I plateaued for a while and didn't lose any weight for about 3-4 days then I finally went down.  Been getting a little hungry while fasting but nothing I cant handle.  I don't see any difference when I look in the mirror, but I probably won't until I lose a significant amount of weight. I still feel really motivated.  I'm now riding the bike for 3 days and lifting for 3 days which has been lots of fun for some reason.  I hope I don't become like a fitness person, Ryan now would be very disappointed in the future Ryan if that happened.  I want to just remind miserably on a diet and workout regime until I hit my goal weight. 17lbs is no small feat.  To be honest, if I saw 17lbs feet Id probably be pretty grossed out.  Feet aren't very attractive, I mean they are ok but I do NOT understand how some dudes are obsessed with feet.

Week 0 - 283.5

It's funny what a picture of yourself can do to you. I recently performed Improv on stage and had the time of my life, then later the next day one of my teammates posted pictures of the performance.  I was honestly very disappointed in myself.  The high I was riding on from the show was completely destroyed...by a single picture.  A picture of me doing something I love, something that gives others joy.  The cast and audience could care less what I looked like but I cared, way too much.  You would think I have a mirror phobia or photophobia, but I don't.  I just don't like to look at myself.  Never have.  When I am walking and see my reflection in a window my instinct is to turn my head the other way.  If there is a reflective door I will look at the floor till I a through the door.  I'm not a vain person but I do care...it's weird. I feel like I am missing stuff in life too because of this.  I get worried when someone is taking a pi...
