more than two years, huh?

Yeah, I guess so. The last post was in July 2007, and even then I was backsliding. Badly. I almost was back to my starting weight of 270-something (not in the mood to look it up). Then, of all weird things to happen, I had all four wisdom teeth pulled this summer. People, not being able to eat anything that isn't liquid or soft does have an effect. So does being in too much pain to go make or fetch milkshakes or other high-calorie stuff. So between the beginning of July 2009 and now, I lost... what, 18 pounds? And right now I'm holding fairly steady, since I've been using this as an opportunity to break old habits, like chocolate and fancy coffee on demand.

I'm not depriving myself, but I'm trying to resist the urge for certain foods every time I want them. Not always easy. But I'm working on it, and now that I've been eating solid food for awhile now, I'm finding that my weight isn't jumping up and down and all over the place as it was. Not now, anyway. If I can just lose steadily for awhile, or even just stay put, I'll probably feel better, no matter where my weight ends up.

That is all.
