Operation ÖSTERREICH

Weekly Wednesday Weigh-in
Last weigh-in: 330.6 lbs. (Wednesday, 7 November)
This weigh-in: 329.8 lbs.
Difference: -0.8 lbs.

Not so long ago, I was ecstatic to find my weight beneath the once-seemingly impenetrable three hundred thirty-pound (330 lbs.) barrier, but now I find myself vaguely dissatisfied that I've made so little progress over the last fortnight. I ought to have lost four pounds (4 lbs.), two pounds per week, not four-fifths of one pound (4/5 lbs.). Drat it all!

What is the appropriate response? The nihilistic "Honey badger don't care" or Philip Rivers's vivifying "Nunc cœpi" ("Now I begin")? Of course "Nunc cœpi," but it's more devilish fun to say—


—even though the mere existence of these Operation ÖSTERREICH posts prove otherwise.
