|---|
I have received a sign that losing weight may allow me to relax my dietary restrictions somewhat. My weight has been hovering at the lowest point of the yo-yo poundage for the past two weeks, for the last couple of days, though, it has flirted with going below the cut-off line. We had spaghetti last night and, as usual, I succumbed to temptation and had a small amount - "just a taste". For the first time (since I started paying particular attention, that is - I never noticed the connection before), I am not experiencing any significant hand pain, although my shoulders and neck are stiff and aching. I've taken a couple of aspirin to help reduce the inflammation and hope that will help before much longer.
My current BMI is 31.5, it seems that my height rates approximately 6 pounds per unit BMI (that is to say, each 6 pounds equals 1 BMI). My goal ... target ... hope ... is to lose enough weight to get down to a BMI of 30 (or rather, just below 30). Regardless of whether I reach this weight or not, I will continue to restrict added sugars from my diet and be wary of refined wheat flour products.
It really is pleasant to be so very free of pain so much of the time. And I do enjoy the yoga and dance exercises. |
