Establishment of Weight-Loss Milestones.
297.5 lbs. (March 3, 2008): The 30 pound mark. If I lose 30 lbs., it means I am really serious about losing a lot of weight. Also, it will be the first time I weigh less than 300 lbs in approximately 5 years. Only 7.5 lbs to go before reaching this milestone.
280 lbs. (April 14, 2008): Amount I weighed in graduate school (more than 20 years ago) before going on a diet on which I lost 40 lbs. Hit a set point at 240 that I was defeated by. Determined not to lose a battle to a set point again. Also, amount I approximately weighed last time I went on a serious diet (8 years ago) when I also reached 240 lbs. and gave up trying to lose more after reaching a stubborn set point. After that, I gained all the weight back plus 47.5 lbs. Ugh!
240 lbs.(July 14, 2008): The enemy for the reasons stated above. Also, the lowest amount I can remember weighing at any time since college. Will be a victory to reach this weight, but also will mark the time that I morph into the TERMINATOR!
210 lbs. (September 22, 2008): My goal. Actually, I plan to end up a few pounds below this amount, but never exceed it again. As far as I can remember, this was what I weighed when I was born, and what I plan to weigh when I die. 100 years from now, of course.

DIETING IS A MIND OVER BODY EXPERIENCE. Does anyone else feel this way? Unlike other times I have tried to diet, I think I am (so far) being successful this time because I am viewing my body as separate from me, instead of part of me. In the past, if I was stressed or depressed, food was my medicine and comfort -- an unhealthy solution that has destroyed my health. Now, I view my body as a separate entity that needs my attention. Before, most of my time wass spent responding to the needs of my very demanding job, with the remaining time responding to the needs of my family. My body was not viewed as a thing that needed its own attention; instead, it was just something I abused in helping me deal with other stresses in my life. Now, I view it as just another area of my life that I must exercise control over. In fact, it is the one area of my life I can (and should)have complete control over. I may not be able to control other aspects of my life, but I am whipping my body into shape. Thus, I have come to think of it as an entity that is separate from me. Oh well, I am rambling and probably not making sense. But, hey, so far this is working for me and I have lost more than 20 lbs in a little over a month. By the end of this year, I plan to turn my broken down Ford of a body into a bright new shiny Porsche!

Diet is going well, but I know that I must do the inevitable if I am going to be successful. What is that? The thing I dread more than anything - EXERCISE! Yikes. Some men were made to lay on couches with a beer in hand. I was that man. No more. Yesterday, I purchased a Life Fitness Recumbent bike. Cost enough to provide me a lifetime of beer. Wifey smiled with gritted teeth when she found out how much I paid. I told her that it was an investment in my health, and she agreed (at least in my presence) that made it okay. (Who knows what she said to her mom on the phone behind my back.) Anyway, I know I will be riding that bike everyday, or else my wife will kill me! Happy Wife = Exercise. Mad Wife = Death. P.S.-Bike will be delivered this Saturday.
