You know how kids measure their height by standing with their backs against a wall and someone draws a line on the wall to track their growth? If you look really close behind the door of my childhood bedroom, through the yellow paint, you can still see faint pencil markings of my height from when I was 6 to probably when I was about 12.
I'm thinking of slightly vandalizing my rental house bedroom wall and doing this for my horizontal shrinkage.
I can never measure myself properly with a tape measure. And I'm not going to a tailor every week and ask her to measure me. I think the problem is the lack of eyes behind my head and my three dimensionality. For example, when measuring my waist, it looks straight and even from the front, but the tape has risen a few inches up my back, thus increasing the overall measurement. Unacceptable! Also, I can never remember exactly where I measured my waist, hips, arms, legs from one week to the next. I could draw on myself with permanent marker or get some reference points tattooed on myself, but I think that's going a little too far.
So, why not just draw a mark on the wall from one side of my torso to the other? I could do it standing with my shoulder to the wall as well for a dorsal to ventral measurement. Then I could measure the distances between the pairs of marks.
OR I could just weigh myself.
That'll do for now. I weigh myself in the morning, after using the toilet, making sure my nails are clipped (it totally matters!!), and stark ass nekkid. I started THE UNFATTENING (DUN!DUN!DUNNN!!!!!) on Wednesday 5/9/2013. Two weeks later, 5/22/13, I'm down 6.4lbs. :) Of course, lots of water weight since this is the start and I was also retaining water because I am a girl. But hooray for progress!
We'll see if I have the courage to post pics of myself through this process. Maybe. We'll see.
