2017 SEP 3 --Day 15

Today is not a good day. My scale is super inaccurate and inconsistent. I decided to take several measures to get a round-about figure I can semi-quasi-trust. Who am I kidding? I don't trust it. It's a lying liar that lies!!

It was doing weird things like measuring me at 408, then 408.8, then 408, then 409.9, then 408 again. Ugh! Since it told me 408 several times, and the other numbers only once, I chose to believe 408. Another up-blip, but I'll take it. It's a small one. Also, it's still down from where I was two days ago, and that's progress.


Anyhow, this is where I am:

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 408 lbs ⇧ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs

 It's up from yesterday's 407.6 lbs, but only by 0.4 which is practically nothing. I can probably attribute that to clothing or odd gravitational fluctuations. Yeah. I attribute this to science-y sounding things beyond my control. The unpleasant attitude, though, is because the small fast I put myself through did absolutely nothing. NOTHING.

I expected a bigger result, or a result in the other direction, at least. I didn't eat! No food! How, pray tell, did I manage to gain?

Anyhow, my graph is also a bit sad, and it looks like this now:


Look at that very sad 408 at the end. I believe I see tears. Poor little sad 408. Its okay, buddy, you won't be stuck there for long. With any luck you will go down. With terrible, rotten, horrible, no-good luck, you will go up. Please don't go up.

2018 AUG 2 -- Day 113

My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  340.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high? I read that there is possibly glucose in  my fat cells th...

2018 JUL 28 -- Day 108

I have lost a little bit of weight from yesterday to today, but I'm still not too happy. I am about three pounds heavier than where I should be right now. I know it's because food inevitably causes weight gain, and breaking my fast two days a week will invariably make my weight bounce back a bit. While I have to accept it, I don't have to like it. Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  339  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I was feeling a bit yuck from a combination of my fight with the porcelain fairy and the stress I've been under. I decided that eating would be a good idea today, so I had a salad with a nice, fat-infused Italian dressing I had made and some feta cheese and a few cherry tomatoes. It was really tasty. I also ate about an ounce or two of pork rinds. You'd be surprised at how many rinds are in a single ounce. They are a bit difficult to weight, though. I had quite a handful of them. Likely, it was two h...

2018 JUL 30 -- Day 110

I gained 3 lbs. I hate that I gained 3 lbs. I made the decision to change my eating regime and start eating when I feel hungry. I ate with my husband when we got home from work yesterday. We had taco salads. It was good, but I am now 3 lbs heavier than I was yesterday. This doesn't make me feel good. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  341  lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I had about the same amount of actual salad that he had, but while he had an Italian Romaine blend of lettuce, I had a spring mix with baby spinach. I also drank almost my entire 7-cup bottle of water -- maybe 5 cups of it. I know that fiber retains water, so I'm hoping that when I eliminate the salad as waste, I will lose this 3 lbs and then some. We shall see and only time will tell. I feel good, though. I feel better than I have in several days. That's telling. Have I been severely dehydrated, maybe? I don't know. Have I been missing out ...
