Giving up free meals

2 weeks ago, I decided to stop my weekly binge that I called a free meal.  I may have them occasionally once I can maintain the body composition I want, but for now they're not an option.  The earliest I'll have anything like my old free meal will be March 18th.  Tracking my weight helps in this area because I can see snapshots like this, in which I drop more than 5 pounds in 2 weeks. 

If I go back 4 weeks, you can see a similar trend, so I think my overall diet is working well.  That initial low reading of 195 is anomalous.  I had just spent 24 hours vomiting and not being able to eat.  All the other values are normal.

Even if I had gone from 195 to 190 in 4 weeks, I would consider that great progress.  I'm still getting stronger while I drop weight, so I don't think it's coming off too fast.  If I start to see some strength decline I'll try to slow down the rate of weight loss.

And finally, my weight from 1/25 to present, overlaid on the goal I set on 1/25 to be 180 pounds by 3/18.
Looks doable, but now it's obvious why I don't intend to have any free or binge meals.
