Progress note
I’ve now lost just a little more than 45 lbs. More important, I’m back under the line. "The line" is the well known line drawn on a graph in which the x-axis is calendar days and the y-axis is one’s weight: you draw a line from the point that represents your weight on the day that you begin to the point that represents the goal weight on the goal day (which for me is the end of February). So long as your weight stays under that line, you’re fine: you’ll reach goal weight on or before the goal day. But if your weight goes above that line, that means you have lost insufficient weight by the date shown to meet your goal: you’re falling behind.
Apparently somewhere along the way I fell behind, but I am now back under the line. And now I know not to celebrate the success of my plateau buster (morning weight 204.4 lbs) with a big dinner. So I skipped the lamb chop.
