197.6 again. No change. At all. Not even .2 lbs, which is the minimum incremental change on my scale. So, not motivating.
However! I feel pretty good. Not really noticing the hunger pains, and lunch was filling, I didn't even eat every grain of rice like I've been doing. (I know, Ma, Major Wastage)
Funny story: I went to a meeting at 11, got out at noon. I was thinking at the end of the meeting how I could possibly make it 'til 1 without eating. Then I walked out of the room, and someone had pizza catered for whatever they were doing in the next room. It smelled strongly of BBQ chicken - which I love on pizza - so strongly that my tongue started burning. Seriously, burning. Almost like my taste buds were trying to jump off of my tongue onto something fatty and, therefore, delicious. I pictured them saying this to me:
"Kent, you've spoiled us for years. Junk food, pizza, cookies, candy, ice cream. What's happened? We haven't got that for 5 days now! If you're not going to do something about it, we're going to take matters into our own hands." And that's when they tried to jump off my tongue. I kept my mouth sealed tight!
I fled immediately. You can't let your taste buds run your life. Flee from temptation!
So I had my filling lunch and I'm feeling good. The weekend will be tough. I doubt I'll write - I don't like typing on weekends - so just now that I'm going to be spending conference listening intently to the talks and not eating snacks like I usually do. Or I'll be napping, like I also usually do. And just like you pretend not to do.

I've heard that you can plateau after beginning to lose weight, but it should start dropping again after awhile.
And I for one never fall asleep during confer.....zzzzz
