Plateaus are mean. I know that they are an inevitable part of any diet, but that doesn't make them any less mean. I'm at my lowest-ever weight since beginning this diet... again. That's good. I didn't go up again. I had a bump over the past few days, but maybe I am headed down again. maybe I will see a lower number on the scale tomorrow on Day 60. I'm on target now to see 377.7 lbs on the scale on Day 60, but that's a far cry from the 375-lb expectation I had just a few days ago. I am sad.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 378.2 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs
But still, weight loss is not weight gain, and weight gain is bad; therefore, weight loss is good. It is better than weight gain. Here is how that looks like in "math" or logical terms:
Weight Gain = Bad
Weight Loss > Weight Gain
Weight Loss > Bad
Good > Bad
∴ Weight Loss = Good
I had no reason to do that, but it was fun. Yay logic!
It's 11:45 PM. I'm at work. I've eaten my half sandwich. And I'm hungry. I hope this means I'm losing weight. I don't know. I have some hope, but not much. I'm not super hungry, but there is growling in my tummy. I don't like it.
I moved the time at which I take my morning dosage to make things easier for my husband, and I'm worried that my body may have to go through readjustment for this new schedule. How long will this plateau last? How long of a readjustment period does my body need? Did I throw it completely out of whack? Ugh!
I'd like a repeat of the period between Day 41 and Day 46. Those were good times. Let's go to the graph!
I miss the happy times I had during Days 41 through 46 graph:
My husband was up about 2 lbs on the scale today. He was at, like, 234 lbs yesterday, and today it showed 236 "and change." This record-keeping of his is so very precise. Yes. That was sarcasm.
I wish he'd let me know the exact number when he sees it. I don't mind updating my charts and keeping all the records. All he really needs to do is take his oil at the prescribed time in the prescribed dosage, get on the scale, give me the numbers, and eat the food I give him when I give it to him. He doesn't need to put forth any more effort than that.
I have a bit of exciting news to share, though. I think I my husband may have finally felt his first AS. True AS. Not AS caused by a placebo effect or anything. He told me he felt a bit bloated and uncomfortable after we ate. That's definitely the feeling of overeating on SLD. I think he may have eaten too quickly, and he didn't realize he was overeating until it was too late.
I've learned to take my time and stop when I feel sated so I don't get to bloated and uncomfortable. I think I will pare down his meals to my size, and let him eat and wait about 10 to 15 minutes to see if he is still hungry and wants more.
It's 1:30 AM now on October 18th. I have given in to my hunger. I bought a package of Snapea Crisps. I love these things. I just have to remember not to eat a normal serving of any food I may eat when I get home so that I don't over-stuff myself or take in too many calories.
Adding the anticipated calories from my morning dose of ELOO, my total caloric intake for today will be 934. I can have about 266 calories to reach 1,200, and I wont feel like I've eaten to excess. That's about a 1 C serving of Stroganoff. I'll see if I am actually hungry later. I may not eat that. That package of Snapea Crisps really hit the spot. I'm full right now.
