2017 SEP 5 -- Day 17

My weight is still creeping higher and higher. It's not so much a plateau at this point as it is a slight upward grade. Trucks would still be safe to drive it, I'm sure. Well, the graph below will show what I mean. I am loathe to look at it let alone post it, but I've committed to this blog, and I'm going to do it.

I'm still questioning the accuracy of my scale, however. I have now started taking at least 5 readings in a row, and marking the one that comes up the most times. 408.6 lbs was the winner coming up three times out of 5 tries. It's another up-blip.

Current stats:

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 408.6 lbs ⇧ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs

This cat is my spirit animal. Yes. You look fat. But it's not the shirt. It's the fat that makes you look fat.

I need to pet that cat and let it know that everything will be okay. We can both be fat and miserable together. I'm still not giving up, though. I'm seeing this through!

At the moment, I've committed to 30 days on my graph. After 30 days, I will start a new graph for a new 30-day stint.

My husband is very encouraging, too, and he is a great motivator. This is one reason I really super love him. He doesn't want me to do this for him, he wants me to do this for me. I know he's not blowing smoke, too. He married me this way, and he will love me regardless of my weight.  I want to be able to drop the weight. I want this very much. He tells me that part of it is psychological. I have to believe in the plan and stick to it with full confidence. I'm going to do just that.

Okay, graph time:

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 ...
