I weigh 178 pounds. My waist is 38 inches. (Yeah, you read that right. I can’t believe it either.) I am 5′ 4.5″.

Writing that makes me cringe. Especially the waist part.

My ideal weight is between 135 and 140 lbs. I’m aiming for 138, right in the middle of that range. At that weight, I am a size 8, which is perfect for my body type.

In high school, my waist was 24 inches. In an attempt to be realistic, I’m shooting for 27.

Because I gain weight on my waistline so much more so than anywhere else, I don’t plan to track anywhere else. Two numbers is enough, in my opinion.
