I LOVE LINE GRAPHS

I love line graphs! I know that sounds absolutely absurd but it’s true. You know I was thinking about how we always assume a line graph should steadily rise right? We look at them to determine our financial standing, our public rapport, basically anything we really want to watch rise to the top but what of the things we want to see go down; things like crime, cholesterol, fat, BMI what about our BMR. Yeah I love line graphs, especially now that I’m using them and seeing them and watching my progress while I’m amid this new lifestyle change. Every day I look at the line graph and the numbers get smaller and the line steadily drops well on it’s way to my goal. My weight has decreased which is the most important thing seemingly but so has my BMI and even more importantly my BMR. At first I was bummed that my BMR was dropping, I was thinking well hell it’s going to make it that much harder to keep my negative caloric intake down but I started to think. If my BMR is dropping that means that my entire body is working less to keep me alive, that means that I am healthier than when I started. So what, I can’t be quite as lazy every day, but who cares I feel so much better with this weight gone that I actually enjoy moving my body. It’s easier to move it too it is amazing the difference that 10lbs can make on person’s structure. I say it now and for the rest of my life I LOVE LINE GRAPHS!
