Highlights from this day
  • fibre_first — i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about 19:23
  • fibre_first — i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did, n of 1 obviously 19:24
  • apnoea_down_two — i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny 19:45

the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part

KF

for the archive the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much

11 down in 11 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale, your mileage will differ

cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
