This morning I weighed in sub-270 for the first time since I have no idea. Maybe sometime around 2004 or so. The official reading was 269.0.
It is encouraging that I'm able to do this without surgery, and without painful changes to my patterns of life. I think most people are unaware I'm doing this. Although my sister, who lives in a different city from me, noticed on seeing me this week. But I notice many things. For example, shirts fit much more comfortably. For example, a pair of jeans which used to be snug now require a belt.
The loss had slowed for a while, which made me nervous that somehow my body might have adjusted to my eating habits, and found a way to extract more calories from the food I eat. But I guess that isn't the case.
My very short-term goal had been 260, and that is now within spitting distance. My longer term goal, just for a psychological milestone, is to reach 100 kgs. That would be pretty cool. And, of course, the longest term goal is a BMI under 25.
