Weighed in at 193.8lbs on Sunday morning. For my height, according to the Asian BMI standards the BMI to not be classified obese is under 194lbs. I have been obese for about ~15 years, probably more. So this is a huge milestone for me!

Now I did eat a lot of junk on Sunday so I weighed in at ~201lbs Monday morning but that's mostly food in my stomach and glycogen restored.

I didn't go to gym today (Monday) because I was bleeding from a wound on my left adductor and that's not great for incline walking on treadmill. If it was on my arm, hand, chest that would be one thing but I chafe sometimes between my thighs. That might be because of loose skin, idk. I took the day off but I will be back in the gym tomorrow. I even got my prescriptions refilled on Finasteride, Dutasteride and Minoxidil for my hair care prep.

What's interesting is that since I didn't go to the gym today, usually spend ~7 hours at the gym and feel a sense of progression when I'm at home, resting, today felt incredibly boring. I can't believe I've been a basement dweller for all this time and been spending so much time on YouTube and Reddit like I did today. Like I stuck to the diet but I felt today was 'wasted' but that's a perception because of my daily proactivity towards my goal for the past weeks really contrast with my idleness of being a productive member of society.

I definitely don't want to be a basement dweller anymore, I'm ~25-35lbs away from my goal weight and then I'll be onto the next 'projects' in my life that I want to work on. I wouldn't need to be in the gym for ~7 hours a day anymore lol.

Lonely Saturday Nights Week 20

I have been avoiding my parents for a while, the last time they came to the apartment was unannounced on Feb 28th. That was also the first time I was invited to my first social gathering in my life. I even made a post about this on the subreddit.

My parents said that they were coming to visit me because it was urgent, something family-related. I'll tell about it next week as I've been posting every week, 19 to be exact.

They picked me up from the gym and we went back to my apartment, my mom brought me some clothes. I guess you can say that is mother's intuition because I didn't tell anybody about my weight. (I did receive my second compliment, from an older man at the gym, which was nice <3).

I wore jeans for the first time in about 10 years, yes 10 years. I've been just wearing the traditional fat guy outfit for this past decade, sweatpants/pajamas, oversized t-shirt and sometimes a jacket (usually with a zipper).

I am close to my weight loss goal, I know I will have loose skin and I'm fine with that, rather be under 200lb with loose skin than who I was on July 6th, weighing 320lbs. I think my weightloss journey will end at ~170lb, but I might get down to 160lb. That'll be half of my starting weight, meaning I'll lose half my body weight, 320 -> 160lb.
