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 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 ...

2017 SEP 1 -- Day 13

I splurged a bit on high-set-point food this weekend. I have regrets. I also have a rather large up-blip as a result. I ate pizza with my favorite toppings which is a very familiar flavor making it a more fattening food according to Seth's theory. Flavor recognition makes food more fattening, basically, because there are very strong flavor-calorie associations. Foods with very familiar flavors are called "ditto" foods, and ditto foods must be avoided. It's possible to change the flavor of the food so it is not a ditto food, but I didn't do that. The result: Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  410.4 lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs This seems like a huge setback, but I'm going to ignore it for now and just keep truckin'. I'm sure I can drop it again in a few days as I did before. The graph of my numbers since starting is very reassuring. I now know how to regain control. I simply have to remember to use m...

2017 NOV 7 -- Day 80

Woo! 374 lbs! Now we're cookin' with oil! Hehe. I know that's not the saying, but it fits better than "now we're cookin' with gas." I also don't want to have my body associated with gas. LOL My plans are really coming together for Thanksgiving. We do ours the Sunday before the actual holiday so that our friends don't have to worry about fitting our event into their schedules with their own families. We don't really have family. It's just me and my husband. Our family all lives in other states, and we don't have kids or anything. We're free spirits, and our holiday traditions reflect that. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  374  lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Thanksgiving is more of a glorified game night anyhow. We all sit around the giant TVs in our living room and play Jackbox games. It's super fun. My husband also bought the Munchkin board game and a whole bunch of expansions for i...
