... I got rearranged, 12 days before my 50th birthday. I have been happier and healthier in the last 13 years than I was in the previous 25.
Today's official weight is 174.6. Still overweight but I'm good with it. I have finally lost all but the last 5 lbs of regain from my lowest weight that resulted from having to go on an antidepressant in 2010 after I had psychiatric side effects from Reglan prescribed after my first (and last) reconstructive surgery. The panic attacks and bizarre suicidal ideation made me chicken out of doing the BIG surgeries. Now that I'm almost 63, I'm not as interested in risking my life and health to rearrange my skin.
My labs are very good this year, with a few minor exceptions (slightly elevated liver enzymes, albumin at the low end of normal, which I can fix), and that is due to low-effort diligence (take my supplements faithfully twice a day, yearly labs, adjust as needed, eat enough protein). This is minimal effort compared to all the ineffective diets I tried over the years, and includes butter, mayo and bacon - no complaints there.
I'll see if I can post a picture later - Charles left before 7 AM to drive up to San Jose to get new tires for the Jeep, so it will have to wait until he gets back.
Go girlfriend! Fantastic news about the weight loss. I'm mucho impressed. X
