When you just look back

Apart from the first half of the time when I was in the US, my weight has been (almost) constantly being added. It was around 58 kg, when I was in undergraduate, and around 62 kg in graduate school.

From the BMI aspect, I should (still) be at the edge of “normal”. But it still makes me nervous enough. Incidentally, my ideal weight is around 60 kg. Going for running? Perhaps going to museum and walking for few hours might already be helpful.

I’ve been thinking what I should do. In the first place, I need know my current (and future) situation. People who go bankrupt due to multiple debts do not know how much they owe to others. Understanding the situation should be my first step.

In fact, I was once suggested by a doctor to have regular observations of my weight. You wake up, and directly go onto the scale every morning, so that the records are made in rather fixed condition. It won’t directly have an effect on my weight, but at least I’d become aware of that.

So I was thinking about buying one. I found one today in the book store, and because it was cheap (7.99) and didn’t look bad, I decided to buy it. Instantly I thought of rather buying one with the body-fat-scaling feature, but then convinced myself that simple one would be even better, because I’d be recording it every day (complicated information makes me less motivated).

It was, as I expected, at the edge of normal range. I won’t go into a diet, but just keep doing this kind of recording…
