Looking at my recent records, I'm not losing and I am not gaining. Over the past few weeks, I took a break from trying to lose weight due to travels and other distractions and have been watching to see what happens.

Although I am up five pounds from my lowest weight in recent months, I am staying in a fairly tight band between 214 and 220, and staying reasonably stable is a victory. Moreover, my blood pressure is under 120/80 most of the time and I am seeing blood sugar under six and as low as 5.6 some mornings whereas 6.2 used to be the rule.

I have not been counting calories the past while, and it is becoming obvious that if I really want to lose more weight, I am going to have to be more disciplined. My activity level does not seem to have a large effect.

If I can stay stable at under 220, then I think I can be stable around 210. I'm comfortable at my current weight, but think that carrying less mass would yield health benefits in the long run. When I visualise carrying 40 extra pounds with me everywhere, which is what I am doing by some reckoning, I can see that walking, skiing, and even getting out of an easy chair should be much easier.

One impediment to losing weight is the fact that as I lose weight, my calorie requirements drop, so I have to reduce how much I eat and that is easy to forget.

When I lose 10% of my weight, then I need to reduce my daily intake by about 10% from my habitual intake if I wish to stay stable there.

If I lose 20%, then I need to cut back further.

Habits are hard to break.
