Yeah, oops.
May was not a good month, but some of this was legitimately out of my control. What was in my control were the cookies I bought, which I shoved into my mouth. Repeatedly.
So in that sense, being up only 1.6 pounds is not that terrible. But it is still terrible and as far as weight loss plans, about as well-executed as the Titanic’s dodge around the iceberg. The sole consolation is that I am only up 0.1 pounds over the past month, so despite the cookies I was mostly treading water (fat).
For June, I am going once again with the cold turkey approach: no snacking at all. It will not be easy, but I think this is the only thing that will work. If it does work, I should see some actual weight loss over the next 30 days. If it doesn’t, I will be sad and a little puzzled.
The overweight stats:
May 1: 178.7 pounds May 31: 180.3 pounds (up 1.6 pounds) Year to date: From 174.2 to 180.3 pounds (up 6.1 pounds) Body fat (year to date): January 1: 22.4% (39.1 pounds of fat) May 31: 24.8% (44.8 pounds of fat) (up 5.7 pounds)
