Weight Loss

  • Filipe Fortes at the Forbidden City, Beijing, China

Apparently, I’ve lost a fair amount of weight in China. I’m not very good at noticing changes in my weight, but when my parents visited last week they noticed immediately.

I found a scale at a hotel a couple, I currently weigh around 165 pounds (75 kilos). This is ten pounds less than I weighed throughout high school, 15-20 less than before I left for China, and an amazing 35 pounds (!) less than my peak last year, when I wasn’t living a very healthy lifestyle (since fixed). The funny thing is, I don’t feel that different — my belt no longer fits me, but I didn’t feel fat before and I don’t feel thin now.

Looking through photos, I can start to see a bit of difference:

  • Filipe Fortes, Seattle, Washington

    May 2006: Disgustingly Fat?

  • Filipe Fortes, in Taroko, Taiwan

    March 2005: Morbidly obese?
