That sounds like good news -- I hope that you consider it so. In which case, congratulations!
It also doesn't sound like something you're obsessing on, which is good. This sort of situation was in my mind when I made my first post on LiveJournal, way back when (http://level-head.livejournal.com/2002/01/31/).
Too many people turn weight loss into a hobby. Weight loss thus achieved is rarely sustained, for two reasons:
1) The methods used to achieve the goal are not sustainable - privation gives way to gluttony because they are the obverse and reverse of the same coin.
2) The goal, once achieved leaves an empty space where the hobby of weight-loss once was.
My method has been simple; I have, for the most part, excised potatoes from my diet, typically subbing vegetables or cottage cheese. I only miss one or two treatments, of which I can produce fair facsimiles using rutabagas. The other simple expedient is to let go of the notion that I must feel pain to deem myself sufficiently fed.
These two things have granted me a weight-loss of twenty-five pounds over a year and a half. Not nearly rapid enough for the hobbyists, but given the detriment of sudden change for the body, it seems reasonable.
Sounds like weight loss as a result of a leaner/meaner body rather than the too-popular view of weight-loss-by-any-means as the route to a healthier body. Your way is harder- but a better way. Congrats!
Well, I wrote in C_Eagle's journal a while ago about gasoline prices in the 1930s ... but I don't actually personally remember them.
However, I did not originate the quoted things to do this on that first post. I've been careful, in general, to source the writing of others subsequently, but this one had no one's name associated with it and I had perceived LJ as being more private than the way I ultimately used it.
But there is one significant difference, I think -- at the time I wrote that post, I had no idea that I could do poetry, or that I would enjoy doing so.
