Hurricane Harvey is wreaking havoc even here in Austin, TX. We don't have it as bad as locations farther south, though. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected, and I hope everyone stays safe.
On a lighter note, "house fishing!"

I am home from work. I just gulped my oil. Food is not the boss of me! I don't feel very hungry at all to be quite honest. I didn't finish my lunch at work. I didn't finish my breakfast/dinner yesterday. I may eat the rest today after my flavor-free hour. I don't know. I might not eat anything!
Here's where we stand at present:
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 407.8 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs
My weight's still a bit up (+3 lbs) from about 4 days ago when I saw 404.8 lbs on the scale, but it's down significantly (-2.8 lbs) from the day before yesterday when I saw 410.6 lbs. I like the downward trend over these past three days, and I hope it continues.
"Brinner" (breakfast/dinner) last night consisted of 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs marinated with McCormick Grill Mates Smokehouse Mesquite Marinade, broccoli with a sprinkle of Mexican Blend cheese, and some brown basmati rice. I ate all the broccoli and rice, but I couldn't eat all the chicken. I had half a thigh, so I have a thigh-and-a-half left for tonight! Yum!
Now the real challenge will be listening to my body and only eating when I am truly hungry and not just because i's i=time to eat, because it's socially unacceptable no to eat, or because I feel I have to eat at the same time my husband gets his meal. I also need to guard against eating for the sake of "getting rid of" excess food. This is my grandma's influence being that she's lived through The Great Depression.
It's too bad that the Forum for the Shangri-La Diet was shut down before I found about it. I sure wish I could ask those people for advice and share my story. I don't see any stories like mine there. I have a massive amount of weight (upwards of 250 lbs) to lose. I'm feeling a bit unique here. And those at the higher end of the scale seem to be all men. I'm a 39-year-old female. I'm truly alone in this.
Maybe if I succeed, I can be an inspiration to lose like me (however few we may be).
That's what I look forward to.
My family always wanted to see me get bariatric surgery. I never want to have surgery if I can help it. The idea of "going under" terrifies me. I have never blacked out either, and when I feel light headed, I gt really scared. I have some odd phobias, for sure. Bariatric surgery is also dangerous and not always successful in the long-term. Also, it's not an overeating problem that I have, so this isn't a viable solution -- simply restricting calories has never worked for me.

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
