Light as a feather!?

I finally weighed myself this morning. What a surprise! The last time I did this (about 3 months ago) I was really disgusted with myself. I was up to a whopping 285 pounds! I put on a bunch of weight over the past year after getting laid off. This morning the scale said 270. Although I haven't really been eating any better than I was before, I have tried to stop eating out as much. And I am a lot pickier about where I go. I very rarely eat fast food anymore. My new favorite place is Thai Noon on Alberta St. I love their yellow chicken curry. Although these kinds of places are a little bit more expensive than fast food, it is a lot tastier and since I only eat out about once a week now, it's actually a lot less expensive than it was before. No more $5 pepperoni pizzas from Little Caesars or Ultimate breakfast sandwich combos from Jack in the Box. I even eat veggies now (although still not like I should). And I have been trying to walk at least a couple of times a week. Who knew? Eating less crap and a little bit of exercise seems to go a long way for me. Now if I can just get down to under 250. Maybe even 225? I haven't weighed that much since my early 20's. If I could keep losing just 5 pounds a month I could conceivably get to that by next summer.
