Where does the fat go when you lose weight? I posed this question to my hubby. I was met with this pithy, monosyllabic response:
Away.
That helps. It helps in the not-helping kind of way. So I had to find out because I've lost 21.3 lbs so far, and all of that, I'm sure, is fat. Where did it disappear to? I see that it's gone, but I can't fathom to where. This was bothering me a bit. I thought, "maybe if I know where it goes, I can help it get there faster. It couldn't hurt."
So I researched it. I love researching things. I love learning things. I love knowing things. Now I know.

It's chemistry!
Fat in => Carbon Dioxide, water, and energy out.
This I can understand. This makes sense to me. Now I know. I feel better. I mean, I already feel amazing having lost over 20 lbs, but I feel even better now! Is that possible? I think I just found out that it is!
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 393.8 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 389 lbs
As I had hoped, Day 31 has me in the 393 lbs range. I am having a hard time keeping this Shangri-La Diet method and my great progress hush-hush because I want someone to share my excitement with me. I know that no one is reading my blog posts (yet), so that's hardly satisfying. I'm writing these for myself more than anything, so I'm okay with that. But it would be nice if people would read and make comments. I need an audience!
I want to have someone who can share my enthusiasm. Not having that person is not going to deter me, though. I will be skinny! I have my husband to cheer me on. That is going to be enough, I'm sure. I am also cheering myself on.
I'm experiencing some awesome appetite suppression (AS). It's amazing. I'm forgetting to eat. The downside is that I'm also forgetting to make meals and feed my hubby. That poor dear! He's 240 lbs of starving. Heh. We joke about that. Lately I've been giving him my extra food, and I think I'm making him gain weight.
I love the AS, though. I can simply not eat at all. I still have my energy, and, in fact, I seem to have more energy. I feel lighter when I'm fasting, too. I don't even consider it fasting. I'm simply not hungry, so I don't think about eating. I'm getting nutrients in the form of vitamin supplements, so I feel fine.
As it is Day 31, my graph is quite data-free. There's one data point, and we already know what it is.
Very graphical graph full of graphiness:
So many data. So much points. Very graph.
Away.
