Today is much better than yesterday, I'm glad to report. I saw 390.8 lbs on the scale, and it's only a matter of time until I see the sweet 389 lbs I want to get to. Short-term goal, here I come!
I haven't been to see the porcelain fairy to drop off any treasure in the past few days. I bet that's part of my problem. It's brewing. I can feel it. As silly as it may sound, I think I haven't been eating quite enough to make me need to drop off treasures to the fairy on a daily basis. It's more like every 3 or 4 days. I suspect that I will have a dramatic "whoosh" downward when it happens.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 390.8 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 389 lbs
I much preferred the original trajectory I was headed in from Day 31 to Day 32; it had me on track to weigh less than 365 lbs by the end of this 30-day period. It would have had me at 365 lbs on Day 46. Clearly not a realistic goal seeing as I dropped by two pounds from Day 31 to Day 32. At the very least, I hoped to drop a pound per day. That would have had me at 365 lbs at around Day 58 or so. Instead, a plateau snuck up and hit me when I wasn't looking! Rude!
I'm at work, and I don't bring lunch with me anymore. I need to do that, though. I am taking vitamins now, and if I do it on a completely empty stomach, I start feeling a bit nauseated. Not fun!
We have something called Company Kitchen at work. It is supposed to offer healthier options than your average vending machines. There are refrigerators with things like fruit cups, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, sandwiches, and other such fare. There are also loads of the junk food items you would find in any classic vending machine, but these are on shelves. There is a kiosk where you pay for your items. It's like a small convenience store right here in the office. It's a great idea!
It's not implemented well. It's Sunday night, and my options were hard boiled eggs or a fruit cup and all manner of junk food items I might desire. I don't desire any. I opted for the least of the evils and bought two hard boiled eggs. They were sour.
Every other option was 200+ calories, and I didn't want to do that to myself. I could have gotten some of those cheese crackers with peanut butter that come 6 to a package -- 220 calories in total. If I ate only one, it's just ~37 calories. Would I stop at one? I know that I could. I think that I might not have, though. This is only because they would turn stale and be ruined if I didn't, and I hate the thought of wasting food. I was partially raised by a Depression-era grandmother.
I made a bad decision and opted for a Jack Link's Wild Stick. It was disgusting. I wouldn't wish this thing on anyone -- friend or foe. It's 150 calories, and it was the least calorie-laden food in the place since eggs were no longer an option. I ate it, but I'm not happy about it.
The worst part is that it was also quite spicy, and now I have a bit of indigestion. Indigestion also causes nausea, so it defeated the whole purpose of eating something to begin with! Ugh! What I really need to do is invest in some low-calorie, whole, healthy snacks and bring those in a lunch bag with me to work.
So here's the graph, the Jack Link's Wild Sticks are disgusting graph:
Okay, graph. You're going in the right direction now. Please continue. I want to be a huge success story! Less huge, more success, but you get the picture. I need to drop a total of 270 lbs ultimately, and I have 245.8 lbs to go at this point. I have lost nearly 25 lbs. I'm at 24.2 lbs down, and the realm of 400 lbs is gone forever! I will not bounce back; this is a permanent change.
