My wife and I had a bit of a discussion regarding my weight loss. She is very happy for me and very supportive of my efforts. However, she showed some concern over my lack of a final goal.
I have plenty of intermediate weight loss goals, I hope to weigh 250 by the time the baby comes and I hope to be at 225 by Memorial Day(The "Beginning of Summer"). However there is no guarentee I am stopping my weight loss at that point. Why?
To be perfectly honest I do not know if I will be happy at 225. The last time I weighed 225 was when I was 14(ish), my body wasn't even finished growing. I have no recollection of what it felt like to weigh 225 or if I felt comfortable being 225. As far as I am concerned I have been overweight my whole life, I have no idea what a normal, comfortable, healthy weight for myself is.
I also do not buy that fact that since I am 5'11" I should weigh exactly 170 according to the medical weight charts. I am a 'big framed' boy. My shoulders are wide and my body is stocky. I do not believe that I will even look or feel good at the medically perfect weight of 170.
So what is my final goal? I do not know. But I hope to know when I get there. I just want to be happy, healthy and the right size for me. I will let you know when I get there. I will let everyone know when I get there.
