The number 100 showed up in my life in two different but related contexts in the past day or so.

Haven't Seen This in Years )

The other 100 was related to weight. My weight has dipped below 100 kg for the first time in at least twenty and maybe thirty years.

Both the weight loss and the blood sugar drops are related. I've lost a lot of weight, and it has brought my blood sugar down closer to a healthier level. I could still stand to lose more weigh, though. I wouldn't miss another 10 kg, which would, I think, mean the pot belly might go away. OTOH, there are reasons not to lose too much weight too fast, particularly as we are likely to start playing with my medications RealSoonNow.

It turns out that I didn't measure things properly when I bought that new belt yesterday. It's still too long! Not nearly as over-length as the last one, but I'm already on the last hole with no room left. I'm going to have to ask Lisa to drill more holes in it already.

When I weighed myself this morning, I found that I was down to 230 pounds. That's a full 100 pounds down from my peak weight when I was first diagnosed with diabetes many years ago. I'm surprised because I feel like I've been eating more lately, but I'm not complaining. Maybe if I lose another 10-20 pounds, the pot belly will finally disappear, along with some annoying fatty lipomas that I've had for ages. My doctor at the time said that if I lose weight, the lipomas should be reabsorbed into my body. That would be good, because surgery to remove them is a hassle. I had one get infected once and that did have to be excised, and it was no fun at all, especially as it was in the middle of my back where I couldn't reach it.
