Okay, it's trite and stupid, but it'll do. As of 01:02:03 (PM) 04/05/06, I'm re-dedicating myself to the Medifast diet. I went off it completely for the Springfield weekend, and since then, I've been playing very fast and loose with the rules. I still managed to pretty much use the products during my work day, but dinner has become more of a free-for-all, and obviously, any weight-loss has stalled.
S's wedding is in 24 days. I'd like to get down to 300 by then.
I have in the back of my head a worry. Last April, I had to have some suits rush-made to support some business meetings. I don't ordinarily have to "suit up" that often for my job, and as it turned out I didn't need them specifically then, but I did look pretty spiffy for Midnight Mass this year. These suits were tailored to my 350+ pound frame, and they were pretty expensive ($1500 for two suits, 5 shirts, 5 ties, 6 pair of socks and a pair of shoes). I think(!) that the suit I owned previously will fit me at 300-315 lbs, so I should be covered for the wedding, but I'm thinking there's only so far these expensive suits can be tailored down (particularly as I near my goals). I guess that's part of the price of weight-loss, but it seems a shame.
Then again, remaining unhealthy and unattractive for the sake of a couple of suits is stupid. If nothing else, maybe I can get by with having the jackets and shirts tailored (I doubt my shoulders will get much less broad) and purchasing new pants.
