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.

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...
