Pic of the day: No longer a "thin client"...

The fat is back!

I weighed myself today and got 90.5 kg! That gives a body mass index of 25.3, and I am officially overweight for the first time since the liver virus thing two years ago. It has been a long and hard road, but it was worth it! Or perhaps not.

Admittedly my weight has been pretty much constant for the last few months, hovering around 89 kg. It is just that today I weighed myself after a big dinner instead of in the morning after bathroom and before breakfast. ^^

Seriously though, I think this is enough. It is less than before the illness, but then again I still can't eat fatty food or I get sick. Even so, I maintain the weight comfortably. This spring (and the summer when not too hot) have been taking long walks, but my appetite increased at the same rate so I did not really lose any weight over time.

On the bright side, the gnawing hunger from before I moved here is gone. I don't wake up in the night simply from starving, and I go longer between meals without thinking of food. It is pretty comfortable. And I'm still not fat enough that it hampers my mobility.

Still, I may have to slightly tighten my policy to make sure I don't grow fatter and move into the diabetes II zone. With both of my parents getting mild diabetes, it is probably impossible to avoid it unless I stay lean. OK, maybe it is a bit late to "stay lean", but I should still be able to avoid obesity by not acting like a pig. That seems a reasonable goal.

My apologies to my really fat readers, if any. But at least I am no longer whining about losing weight, like I did for much of 2005!
