2017 SEP 6 -- Day 18

Success! 408 lbs four times in a row on the scale. I'm accepting it! I'm rejoicing. My weight is down and not up today!

Take that, fat!

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 408 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs

It seems the plan to just eat when I feel hungry and stick with the oil is going to work and continue to work, so I will just stop messing with things and go with the original plan I had for the rest of these 30 days. The graph will tell me all I need to know.

When I woke up for work at around 6:15 PM, I felt good. I felt light -- that's the best word I can use to describe it. I wasn't bloated or heavy or uncomfortable. Perhaps the up-blips from previous days were due to water retention or somesuch nonsense.

Today is my Friday at work. I will start my weekend at the end of this shift -- on Thursday morning. Thursday night is game night at home, and last weekend we invited a friend to play games and eat pizza. That was the now-infamous pizza that ruined by good-looking graph! Evil beast!

Speaking of the graph, let's take a look at the down-blip graph for today:

I imagine all those little pink dots make a blip-sounding noise. he ones that go up, make an up-blip noise and the ones going down make a down-blip noise. I'm weird, and I imagine weird things.

The downward turn makes me happy. That was an entire week I spent trying to get back on track after eating 2000 calories or so of pizza on game night. I am swearing off pizza for now. I don't need it. It's not healthy. It's what someone consumes when one lives to eat and doesn't eat to live. It's bad news!

I wan to see 404.8 lbs or lower again on that scale. I really, really want to see 399 lbs or lower. I want to write a post about how I met a short-term goal and then create a new short-term goal. I can do this! I am motivated and well organized -- well, motivated at least.

2017 OCT 25 -- Day 67

I don't have much to say today. I thought I had beaten the plateau, but it is still going strong. I'm the same weight today as I was yesterday. This is not fun, but now I sound like a bit of a broken record. I'm not going to say much today, so I'll share a recipe. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight: 378.2 lbs Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Japanese-style Ginger Salad Dressing This goes well as a coleslaw dressing. I've used it with a mix of classic cabbage slaw and Asian-style broccoli slaw. 1-1/2 C chopped yellow onion 1 C peanut oil 1/2 C rice wine vinegar 1/2 C water 3 tsp fresh ginger root, minced or grated 3-1/2 tsp fresh garlic, minced or grated 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 4 tbsp lemon juice 4 tsp sugar 4 tsp soy sauce 4 tsp ground mustard 4 tsp sesame seeds Place all ingredients except sesame seeds into a small food processor and pulse for 1 minute, or until desired consistency.  Stir in sesame seeds.

2018 JUN 15 -- Day 65

The weight is coming down. I'm down by 1.4 lbs today from where I was yesterday. It still doesn't make up for the 9 lbs in total that I gained from just one weekend of eating, but it is going to take some time to get that back off. I really want it to come off as quickly as it came on, but we all know that will probably not happen. If I want something, that's the surest way to make sure it doesn't happen! LOL Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  356.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I have been watching videos on YouTube about how people are shedding their pounds, and it is all very counter-intuitive to what I have learned from Doctors Fung and Berg. But it appears to have worked for these YouTubers, so who am I to judge or criticize what they have chosen to do? A lot of it is a variation on either the eat less; move more (ELMM) theory, or the calories in, calories out  (CICO) theory. I hope for their sak...

2017 AUG 30 -- Day 11

I weighed myself before work again tonight. I like these lower numbers. I'm pretty sure this is due to not eating during sleep for at least 6 hours. Whatever the case, I'll take it! Yay! Low number! Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  406.4 lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs I'm at work. It's 10:30 PM. I've been feeling the hungry growly monster in my tummy, but I've been ignoring him... until now. I'm eating my sandwich. According to the book, you are only supposed to feel hungry when you're body is below its set-point. Is my set point higher than 406.4 lbs? Wow! I need to find out how to lower that a lot faster. How can I make it 145 lbs? LOL. I know the answer to this. It gradually becomes lower over time; I must be patient. The trend is still downward on the whole, but right now it is still well above the first measurement I took at 404.8 the day I got my scale. It's going down, and I saw 406.4 lbs today ...
