In 2011 I am determined to lose my weight and keep it off. I had gotten down to 187 pounds in the Spring of 2010 and promptly put all of my weight back by today. I tipped the scales this morning at 249.6 pounds with a body fat percentage of 34%.
I have decided to take a different tack this time around and focus on body recomposition, as opposed to weight loss. Why? Because I really do not care about my weight. I only care about how I look with the weight. If I could look good and remain the weight I am, would I be happy? Yes. My goal is not really to lose the weight, but to make myself look and feel better.
Granted, I do need to lose weight, since by all measures I am overweight and more susceptible to disease, so I will have a weight goal, but I will keep in mind daily that my real goal is to look and feel better and not necessarily to lose weight. This way, if I do not lose poundage on the scale, but lose inches around my waist and feel much better, then I am more likely to be satisfied and motivated to continue with my transformation from the fatty that I am today.
