Tattoo and progress

In a few hours I will be laid out half naked on a Tattoo's table with a needle poking into me for 2 hours.

My little treat / reminder what ever you want to call it for my 34th birthday and making it down to my goal weight. This morning I am 41.4 kg's (91.1 pounds), I am quite happy with that as I know by the end of the week as per my usual trend I should be down to around 41kg's only to pick up a few grams over the week end again. As long as I can keep my weight in the 41kg area I am happy that I have indeed reached goal.

This entire process of now maintaining my weight (or gain) is very interesting. I have learned so much about my body, how it reacts to food, what I need to do to reduce my weight, when I pick up and when I loose. What kind of foods it does well with. I have really tuned into it and I love what I have achieved. The accomplishment has been very thrilling and now keeping it all up is still quite a challenge, don't get me wrong. I know I still have to keep at it but it is now part of my life, my lifestyle. It really did not take much shifting. As I have told every one that cares to listen (ha) I am now actually eating more than I did before, eating more often and getting way more nutrients and vitamins. The fact that most people think I look too skinny is really irritating because I have worked so hard. I am muscular and fit, healthy and energetic ... I am certainly not anorexic :) I just think that most people do not understand how I can be thin AND healthy. Yes I am the first one to admit that I have "issues" but I have worked around them. My control has been focused and channelled into a more healthy way of life than ever before.
