I did it.
I'm finally below the weight that I was when we left NYC (pictured above, 219 lbs).
Self-doubt, it is a true monster - never so large that it can't fit into every crevice in your mind, if encouraged. If you feed it, then it will build up in accretions of flesh that surround you. Mine favors the flavor of bacon.
That's part of it, anyway.
