230

This is the lowest my weight has been since I started college.
What's different? Well, my eating habits have changed. I gave up french fries until the end of the year. I've (mostly) automated breakfast and changed how I look at lunch. Training for the SheRox Triathlon is in high gear and although I don't work out every day of the plan, what workouts I do are intense.
Also, I don't feel as focused on food as I have in the past. It's always been a crutch, something easy to do. Don't get me wrong- I love food. I love shopping for it, cooking and baking, meals with friends...but something clicked when I decided to give up a food that I rely on pretty heavily for comfort. I mean, it's not like it's gone forever...just for now. And that's ok.
This new attitude coupled with some weird bodily functions over the past few weeks have resulted in a 15 pound weight loss (I was at 245 in May). I've been worried that it too fast- weight should ideally come off in 1-2 pound stints each week. But this seem legitimate and is a sincere boost to my esteem. Looking in the mirror, I can tell a difference!
I also spoke with my endocrinologist about it and she is not too concerned about the loss. Most of my lab numbers look good and we're talking about how to work on the rest.

And of course there is a boy that keeps flitting through my mind...
