Today is a great day for me. This morning, for the first time in years, I wasn't officially overweight anymore. Meaning that on the famous BMI scale, I finally managed to get under the ominous limit of 25(*). Since I started improving my eating habits, my weight has slowly but consistently come down, and now I finally lost the 8kg necessary to achieve this lofty goal. And as a side effect, my beloved has lost some 5kg as well, without doing anything special about it, except partially following my lead. I certainly never risked trying to convince her to do anything she didn't want to do, because as anyone knows, this is the surest way to obtain the opposite effect. So I just did what I thought was right, being sufficiently enthousiastic about it (but not too much), and I have the results to show for it. Et voilà...
So of course, this must be celebrated. A nice little strawberry pie is waiting for us, to be savoured with a good cup of Austrian coffee...
(*) If I tell you I measure 1m80, then the more mathematically inclined should have sufficient information to work out my weight...
