Gone but not forgotten: when a kilogram weighed a kilogram.
In a way, I'm kind of excited. I know there are no quick fixes for losing weight, but now that I know that the International Prototype (a piece of metal stored in a triple-locked vault in France) has lost 50 micrograms since it was last weighed in 1990 -- and with the pound apprently being defined as a derived measure of the kilo, that means I am automatically losing a little weight every decade!
Of course, with a modest (?) goal to lose 40 pounds before I turn 40 next January, I may have to rely on more traditional methods (less slathering of bacon and cheese on all my edibles, more movement then just the current pattern of bed->work laptop->couch->work laptop->personal laptop->couch->bed, more water and less sugar based potables in my routine, less bingeing* and more purging). But at least I now have a way to trick my mind into thinking I have a head start!
[*apparently binging is also acceptable, but in today's world, that seems to imply that I chose a Microsoft search over a Google one -- and I don't usually do that]
Once upon a time when the cylinder of metal made up of 90% platinum and 10% iridium that's 1.54212598 inches high by 1.54212598 inches in diameter weighed 50 micrograms more, you will not be missed if it means I've lost weight too!
