Jeffery discusses his ongoing journey with weight management, revealing his past struggles and successes. He shares that he previously dreamed of weighing under 210 pounds, which he has now accomplished, often weighing himself daily for nearly two decades. Recently, he has made significant adjustments to his lifestyle, including mindful eating and regular walking, which have positively affected his weight. Despite hitting a weight of 197.4 pounds, he expresses dissatisfaction with this number, highlighting his desire for continuous improvement. He reflects on the concept of Body Mass Index (BMI) being based primarily on white males and emphasizes the individuality of weight management. Keypoints: Jeffery has been tracking his weight daily for over 20 years. He originally aimed for a weight of 210 pounds, but now considers 197 as his ordinary weight. His perspective on weight has shifted from seeing 197 as unattainable to being bored with it, seeking further improvement. He points out the limitations of BMI as a one-size-fits-all metric. Jeffery’s relationship with his scale is deeply personal, allowing him to predict his weight fluctuations accurately.
