19 pounds in a month! That must have been a very low calorie diet, not just substituting other things for carbs.
If you had asked me without a scale for reference, I would have said 160 pounds.
It was 172.
172 isn't a crazy weight, but not realizing I'd made it into the 170s (which I'd never been before) while simultaneously believing I was 12 pounds lighter was definitely a "moment".
After a month of very low carb diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes, I'm down to 153 and feel much better too. :)
