180 Sounds Nice.
-
Today I decided to go to Paris for a vacation in October. I love Paris. It’s so … everything I’m not. Sophisticated. Interesting. Cosmopolitan. Fascinating. Intellectual. And thin.
So I have a new reason to want to lose weight: I’d rather not tramp around Paris and look like a big fat American. I find myself embarassing when I’m this heavy. Paris isn’t designed for fat folks, that’s for sure, and since I am fat it’s not designed for me. Especially since I don’t speak the language and rely on friends to communicate for me, I’d rather not have the surly waiter at Les Deux Magots assume that of course, the fat lady would like the “large Americaine.”
I’d just rather be thinner than I am and get my weight out of my own way. I’m going to leave on October 21. This morning I weighed 206.2 pounds. If I could weigh 180, that would be outstanding. Not sure if it’s possible, but it’s worth shooting for, I think. Since starting this blog last weekend, I’ve lost almost five pounds … so maybe it is?
Let’s do the math:
Today is August 6.
Departure date: October 21.
Days to departure: 75
Daily weight loss necessary to achieve goal: .34 pounds
Per week average: 2.5 poundsI fear I must retire from eating. Vive la France!
