It&#8217;s the new year, and I reached my weight goal on Christmas. I met my goal of 200 pounds, set in April 2012, when I was 295 pounds. I was a much different person at the time, and many things have changed. At this precise moment, after just returning from a holiday trip and taking on a new maintenance calorie regiment of about 2000 calories a day after being at about 1300 calories a day, I&#8217;m full. I weighed myself this morning, and not surprisingly, I had gained a few pounds. I&#8217;m not concerned though, as the newly added maintenance calories will take a bit to work themselves out.<\/p>\n<p>Eating: So far today I&#8217;ve only had coffee, but over the break I enjoyed some of the foods that I have not enjoyed in a long time, like <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Apple crisp\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_crisp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener noreferrer\">apple crisp<\/a>, brownies, <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Petit four\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Petit_four\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener noreferrer\">petit fours<\/a>, and bagels. Mostly though, I ate apples, bananas, lots of coffee, egg whites, and salads. It was nice to splurge a little, but I&#8217;m\u00a0back home, and looking forward to more whole foods again. I think for lunch, I&#8217;m going to eat on campus and enjoy some salad and pizza.<\/p>\n<p>Moving: It has been incredibly cold here in the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Northeastern United States (U.S. Census Bureau)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Northeastern_United_States_%28U.S._Census_Bureau%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener noreferrer\">Northeast<\/a>, and as a result, I have walked less.
