Another .4 lbs lost today. Oh boy! Now we're cookin' with gas. And if you couldn't tell, that says zero-point-four, not four.
I'm sorry. I can't not be sarcastic about this. It's clearly a plateau. And I will reiterate, bodies are dumb! Today I say 381.2 lbs. It's still down from yesterday, but it's not down enough! I'm greedy! I don't think I'm being unreasonable, though, because I am starving myself. I barely eat. This is not hyperbole.
Maybe that's the problem. Maybe i should stop starving myself. Maybe my body wants to keep all the fat it can keep because I'm not eating enough, and it thinks it's about to die of starvation or something. I don't know. This is not fun, though. I need to make a change.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 381.2 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs
I had wanted to eat a couple of chicken wings today, but my husband asked me if they were a binge-trigger, and I got a bit upset because it made me feel really guilty for wanting them. The plain bone-in wings from Domino's Pizza have about 390 calorie per 8 wings, so just one is 48.75 calories. This means that two is approximately 97.5 calories in total. I thought having two would have been fine.
As soon as my husband posed the question, I thought about why I wanted them. I knew I was feeding a want and not a need, and I felt really bad about the want. I did not feel hungry. My stomach was not growling. I simply wanted to taste those wings. I didn't end up getting any, and I went to bed instead.
If I want to get a full 8-piece order, though, the whole thing is 390 calories, and I would be fine eating that instead of the half a sandwich. They have 34 grams of protein. There are very few carbs. The only real problem I see is that the sodium is a bit high at 880 milligrams. The point is that I can have these when I am hungry and not feel guilty about it. I just have to be certain that I am hungry when I do it.

Today is the first day of my husband's weekend. I start my weekend tomorrow -- as soon as I get off work on Thursday morning, that is. The scale had him back above 238 lbs today -- and that's a bit odd. His lowest measure (236.8 lbs) was 12 hours before this one, and if he's anything like me, his lowest number of the day will be seen around 3:00 PM in the afternoon.
He weighed himself at around 5:00 AM after we had gotten home from work but before we had taken any oil. At least for me, that is the heaviest time of day, so I don't think it accurately reflected his weight loss from the day before. He didn't do it at exactly the same time as the day before, so I count it invalid. I'll have to ask him to weigh himself again when I get home.
He is eating much less than he used to. Today he had two of my tamales -- which are around 4 to 5 oz -- and a salad with ginger dressing. That's it. It was only about 2.5 times what I ate, not the usual 5 times as much.
