Diary of a Fatman 40

Monday, May 12, 2008

Day 267 Weight 222lbs Measurements; Neck 16 1/2, Chest 45, Gut 44 & 1/4, Waist 41, R&L Bicep 15 1/2, R&L Thigh 27 & 1/2in. My weight has dropped a little bit, but I'm not calling this a win yet, I'm a bit worried about the weight fluctuations. If my weight has dropped and this is my true weight then I have busted through my plateau. We shall see what next week's measurements and weight yield for me. This week I have been doing pretty well with my nutrition but I have had a few slip ups along the way this past week. So this weeks main goal is to strive for a better week, in the nutrition department. On another note I went to that BBQ on Saturday and they had the works there, but I was good. I stayed away from the alcohol, and all the empty carbs. I admit I did have some pasta salad. Luckily though it was made with a lot of vinegar, and from what I have been hearing vinegar plays a big part in slowing down the digestion of carbs so as not to spike your insulin levels. So I had a small portion and I don't feel bad about it. Because there were so many other tempting things that could have rocked me but I stayed clear of them and ate a lot of broccoli, cauliflower, and celery, along with water, tons of water lol. So I was good yesterday and felt great. Later on in the evening it got chilly and my buddy has always been smaller than me. He offered to let me use one of his hoodies. I was a bit hesitant because I didnt want to be the fat guy in a little coat. It was too chilly for me so i accepted none the less. He comes out with a hoodie smaller than his normal ones. I'm sitting here mortified that I have to put this on in front of everyone, and to have it not fit scared the hell out of me. I grabbed it none the less and put it on........ My judgement of myself is way out of proportion cause it fit like a champ and I looked great in it. "Its that inner fat man that is still judging me" I know I have lost a lot of weight but here I am still thinking that I am the same size as last year. Wow I gotta handle this inner fat guy. Anyways like I said I looked great in this hoodie and my buddy was really amazed that it fit me so well because that hoodie was getting tight on him so he didnt wear it much. "It wasnt tight on me in the least" Yeah baby.
