What a ride it's been!

Here I am, sipping on a green smoothie, realizing that I have freaking done it! I'm in my maintenance range. This life isn't over and I don't go back to eating 6 big meals a day, but the 17+ years since I kissed my wife at midnight of New Year's Day Y2K and realized "I'm alive and my family has equipped me with the genetics to live 100 years, so I will act like I want to" have finally gotten to the point where I am not obese, I am not overweight, I am not ignorant or compulsive.
I've learned so much about me, about food, about biology and physiology and woo and all the wonderfully beautiful people (that's you) in the world who want to help strangers (that's me).
I don't have a smart phone and I don't have progress photos. I'm at 165 lb today. My goal weight is 160, but that's arbitrary. I wanted to reach that and then maintain at +- 5 lb. On those terms, I've succeeded to reach my maintenance range.
