A couple of years ago, I decided to lose some weight. Because I’m a big ol’ nerd, this involved keeping a more-or-less daily record of my weight, and inevitably, I made a graph of it. Here’s the latest version– the blue points are from 2006, the green from 2007:
(It’s not science without graphs.)
The precipitous drop in early 2006 corresponds to my miserable heartburn/ acid reflux problem. That’s not entirely gone, but it’s at least under control these days (thanks to the healing power of beer), and my weight has crept back up since I’ve been able to eat again.
I’ve gained back almost half of what I lost since 2006 (though I’m pretty sure I was over 300 at some point before I started keeping records), so I’m going to start making a conscious effort to shed a few pounds. This may be a terrible idea, given that the last time I did this kicked off the Great Stomach Unpleasaneness of 2006, but I guess we’ll find out…
