2017 OCT 10 -- Day 52

I lost a whopping .2 lbs since yesterday! Wow! So amazing. Much loss! Very reduce! This is not sarcasm at all.

It is, though. It's sarcasm. I can't fool you, can I?

I'm disappointed. I feel like I starved myself. Including the two doses of ELOO, I consumed a mere 1,109 calories yesterday. Total. Without the ELOO (as it doesn't really count), I had only 539 "real food" calories. Why, then, am I at 381.6 lbs today down from 381.8 lbs yesterday? Ugh!

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 381.6 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

 Bodies are dumb!

In truth, though, I really need to stop stressing about my scale.

*sigh*

I do have some treasures piling up for the porcelain fairy. Maybe once I unload those, I'll drop again. I can't complain too much. I am still headed ever downward. I was discussing this with my husband, and he agrees that I need to stop obsessing about this and just go with it. I am continuing to have success, and that's all that really should matter. I agree, but I can't logic away my irrationality! I'm not built that way! LOL

Logic and irrationality cannot coexist graph:



On the home front, my husband was at 236.8 lbs today. That's down a bit from where he was yesterday. That's awesome. It's actually down more than just a bit. He was at 238 lbs yesterday. That's a drop of 1.2 lbs. I'm debating whether to graph his progress or not. I'm keeping a record of it. I may do so later. I am still undecided about that.

He's having a tough time with the need to wait an hour with no flavor before an after a dose of ELOO. As we leave the office at around 4:30 AM and get home around 5:00 AM, we need to stop the flavor at 4:00 AM to be certain we get a full flavor-free hour before taking the ELOO. We want to take it immediately when we get home. And ever the romantic, he wants to take it together so we can eat together an hour later. Aww!

I'm used to this regimen already, so I have no trouble with it. He is on Day 3. He had to push back the ELOO dosage time as it neared time for us to go home. At 3:30 AM, he told me he'd finish his drink by 4:00 AM. He was still on target at 3:15 AM. At 4:00 AM, he told me he would need to take his ELOO dosage at 5:30 AM. LOL. He's adorable.

He ate a sandwich at some point, but I'm not sure when it was. After we both had our ELOO and had waited an hour, his stomach was in knots, and he wasn't hungry. He didn't eat then. Sometime while I was sleeping, he managed to eat the egg salad sandwich I had made. It's definitely not nearly as much as he normally eats, and this may explain why he lost 1.2 lbs. Is his AS already kicking in? Or is it placebo? Oil sickness? Only time will tell.

He had better not be losing weight faster than I am!

 Food Diary

The bread, cheese, turkey, and mayo is a half of a sandwich, by the way. That's what I eat for lunch at work. If I can will-power through, it's all I eat all day. That half of a sandwich seems to be 399 calories. I'd be better off eating one of those amazing tamales I made.

2018 AUG 2 -- Day 113

My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  340.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high? I read that there is possibly glucose in  my fat cells th...

2018 JUL 28 -- Day 108

I have lost a little bit of weight from yesterday to today, but I'm still not too happy. I am about three pounds heavier than where I should be right now. I know it's because food inevitably causes weight gain, and breaking my fast two days a week will invariably make my weight bounce back a bit. While I have to accept it, I don't have to like it. Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  339  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I was feeling a bit yuck from a combination of my fight with the porcelain fairy and the stress I've been under. I decided that eating would be a good idea today, so I had a salad with a nice, fat-infused Italian dressing I had made and some feta cheese and a few cherry tomatoes. It was really tasty. I also ate about an ounce or two of pork rinds. You'd be surprised at how many rinds are in a single ounce. They are a bit difficult to weight, though. I had quite a handful of them. Likely, it was two h...

2018 JUL 30 -- Day 110

I gained 3 lbs. I hate that I gained 3 lbs. I made the decision to change my eating regime and start eating when I feel hungry. I ate with my husband when we got home from work yesterday. We had taco salads. It was good, but I am now 3 lbs heavier than I was yesterday. This doesn't make me feel good. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  341  lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I had about the same amount of actual salad that he had, but while he had an Italian Romaine blend of lettuce, I had a spring mix with baby spinach. I also drank almost my entire 7-cup bottle of water -- maybe 5 cups of it. I know that fiber retains water, so I'm hoping that when I eliminate the salad as waste, I will lose this 3 lbs and then some. We shall see and only time will tell. I feel good, though. I feel better than I have in several days. That's telling. Have I been severely dehydrated, maybe? I don't know. Have I been missing out ...
