So I got on the scale a few days ago and was above 190. Having been hovering at 180 for two years I wasn't too pleased and yesterday I decided to do something about it, so now it's normal meals instead of starve, fill-to-brim, starve, repeat, and I'm cutting back (though not completely out) caffeine. Say, from a 20 oz Coke and some chocolate a day to just little bits, like maybe some chocolate that happens to be in something, or the caffeine that happens to be in an excedrin tablet. At any rate (and I'm not trying to create a correlation between caffeine and weight gain or loss) I've decided that yesterday will be the day I weighed the most for the forseeable future. I'd like to get down to about 173 without any cutback on energetic activities, though I'll be happy if I stay around 180 after a good conversion from dead weight to muscle.

Hey, it could be a lot worse. Ever get so bored you feel like doing something drastic, just to live a little larger? Ian is going on a fast just to see what it's like. He's entering his third day now... It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
