Tomorrow will be the anniversary of this program. Since I
don’t have tomorrow’s weight, which won’t be that much better than today’s (I’ll
explain), I’ll use today’s to discuss the year-end progress. However, let’s
start off with the week-ending stats:

At an average loss rate of 1.8 pounds/week, I should have
lost 93.6 pounds — and I might have come much closer if I hadn’t broken down while
bowling last night and had a basket of French fries. (They’re so delicious
when they’re fresh out of the fryer! But they turn into complex sugars almost the
minute they hit your mouth.) As it is, from being at one point 19 pounds under
the line to 1.8 pounds over the line takes the shine off of an accomplishment
that’s otherwise still praiseworthy.
