I keep noticing how much taller and thinner I look now that my BMI pretty much is now in the healthy range. I keep noticing how much heavier other are and how much overweight and obesity is common in America today, almost entirely due to diet.

I’ve changed a lot in my life over the past six months, mostly what I eat but also more steps, more bike riding, taking the stairs. Yet I’m still not satisfied with the results despite my much too large clothes. I wish I had more strength and energy, less aches and pains at times. I still don’t like how much fat is around my waist line, though my face and shoulders are a fraction what they once we’re. I’ll keep tweaking my diet, continuing to discover new healthy and interesting options, and find new ways to exercise and burn calories in ways that I find enjoyable and not too harsh.
