My favorite thing about my Health Journey™ is the change in my mindset. At various points in the past, I have been hopeful for future weight loss and health, resigned to a future of fatness and an early death, and pretty much everywhere in between. I had been to the far negative end of the spectrum, but I’d never been to the far positive side — I’d never gotten past “hope.” Until now. Now my mindset is simple: it is inevitable that I will end up at a healthy weight and live a healthy life, because math is real, and I’m living the equation that results in a healthy weight and a healthy life. I don’t get too high or too low about the week-to-week weight numbers, because the overall direction is perfect and I’m in no hurry to get to my “ideal weight.” I will get there, and I don’t really care if it’s two months from now or a year from now or whatever. I plan on living another 50 or 60 years, and the big picture doesn’t lend itself well to stressing about the first few months.
