Upward Plateau
After several days of dropping, I hit that recent low point of 173 lbs. Then the gradual creep upward to 174 lbs., followed by a pause, then to 175 lbs., followed by a pause. Further weight loss remains unlikely thanks to my inhalation of mass quantities of sushi this afternoon. I have reached a weight loss plateau, and it is sloped ever-so-slightly upward.
Self-starvation (albeit induced by illness) was the most effective remedy. Shockingly light lunches, late afternoon exercise, and early evening dinners of soup broth all ensured a steady pound-per-day loss rate. So this glorified fasting must continue. I have to be 150 lbs. in another month. New suits, Tory Banquet, the coming spring, superfine Texas ladies… I need to chisel out the inner six-pack-o’-abs Hollando in a hurry.
