Every now and then I&#8217;d get down to 219.8, but that&#8217;s pretty much 220. Well today I came in at 219.2 &#8211; which I&#8217;m hoping is signaling I&#8217;m over my plateau and going down again.<\/p>\n<p>When I feel my body, and look in the mirror I notice a difference from how I used to be (see <a href=\"http:\/\/rawtop.com\/sex\/2012-07\/did-a-videotaped-fuck-with-a-guy-in-the-neighborhood\">pictures from July<\/a> &#8211; and that wasn&#8217;t even me at my heaviest). I feel a lot lighter and not so much like a bear. BUT, when I take photos of myself the camera&#8217;s not so kind &#8211; and I&#8217;m clearly still a bear (see pic to right).<\/p>\n<p>I remember this weight range well. For many years I wasn&#8217;t sure whether I was a bear or just stocky. It&#8217;s even more of a question when I get down around 210.<\/p>\n<p>My clothes are starting to be really baggy &#8211; they&#8217;re completely unflattering. If it were the &#8217;90s and baggy were in it wouldn&#8217;t be so bad. But I don&#8217;t want to buy too many new clothes since I&#8217;m still losing weight.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a long ways to go. I wanna get down to 190 or 180. But even this amount of weight loss (34 lbs) feels good &#8211; even if I still look heavy in picture, I know I&#8217;m so much lighter than I was. And it&#8217;ll be great when I get down to 210 and am genuinely stocky, not a bear&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Little steps on a long path&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past week or two now I&#8217;ve been weighing 220.x &#8211; it&#8217;s been oddly consistent.
