2017 AUG 22 -- Day 3

I'm writing and posting this on the 23rd, but my day starts at 6:30 PM (my morning) and ends after I get home from work the next morning at around 5:00 AM. Gotta love the graveyard shift! I'm considering this the 22nd.

My Senior Picture - 1996
It's Day 3, and I'm getting much better at taking my medicine, so to speak. Nary a gag to be had this time! Go me! *fist pump*

I've found that the best method of getting the ELOO down is the sip-and-swig. I'm sticking with that. I sip a little oil, I take a swig of water, and I repeat until down 2 Tbps of ELOO.

The diarrhea didn't last at all. I'm convinced now that it was due to the dietary change. Darn that chili-mac! Rude!

I got my scale today. Yay! And the pleasant surprise that I am 9.2 lbs down from what I thought I was starting at. This is a great motivator! I'm thinking I might keep the starting weight at 415 lbs since that was the last known number before starting. Current weight will hopefully continue to drop.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 404.8 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs

I can meet that short-term goal! I got dis!

I still haven't noticed much change in appetite, but I haven't felt ravenous lately like I had been before starting the Shangri-la Diet (SLD). Maybe it's working. I don't know yet.

And the graph:

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 ...
