The Incredible Shrinking JC
I'm losing weight. The first time I really noticed it was right after a weekend where I had an upset stomach and I hadn't eaten much, so I thought it was temporary. Now a month and a half later I don't think it was temporary. One of the first things my mom asked me when she saw me last week was whether I had lost some weight. My pants seem really baggy lately and I've gone down a belt notch.
At first I was a little freaked out because I couldn't really think of any good reason why I would have lost weight. I'm not exercising any more than I had been before. I haven't substantially changed what I eat. I don't think I have any health problems that would cause weight loss - I feel OK. After thinking about it a lot, I think it's just due to not eating as much as I did when I was working. I used to have a bowl of cereal every morning - I don't do that anymore. Also, I would be so ravenous when I would get home from work that I think I would tend to overeat. Right now I can eat whenever I want, so I guess I don't go as long without at least getting a snack if I need one. Grazing, as it were.
The funny thing is, I'm probably right where I need to be at this point. Whenever I used to calculate my BMI, I was pretty close to the upper limit of the 'normal' range. I've been wanting to lose about 10 pounds for the last 7 or 8 years, so I guess I'm there now. Although since I don't have a scale in my house (I used to always use the one at the gym), I am not sure exactly how much I've lost. Hey, maybe I could start up a new weight loss program. The 'Get Fired, Lose Weight' Program! Look for my book on Amazon soon!

If you could write that book soon, I'd be much obliged!
Or remember my weight loss program? Work for a really mean bitch who makes you miserable? One who tells you you can't lose weight. That one works too!!
