2017 OCT 21 -- Day 63

And today I am even higher than I was yesterday. I'm at 378.8 lbs. This is very sad news, but not completely unexpected. I'm back at work tonight. I'm not eating lunch, and I plan to get myself back on track from that horrendous weekend experience.

We had lunch with a friend on Friday, and it was good. it was barbecue. I love barbecue. And I was good about it, too. I ordered .25 lbs of brisket and ate less than half of it. I got a small side of green beans and ate less than half of those. We ordered a plate of sweet potato fries for the table, and I ate three (they were really long fries). And I didn't have dessert.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 378.8 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

Now, I did have to drink a bunch of coffee with a lot of cream and sugar to get myself out of bed and to stay awake during lunch, and I'm sure that wasn't a good choice. Why is all the coffee so strong these days? I can't drink it black at all.

I have a lot of cream in my coffee. It's usually about 3 to 5 of those little one-serving things (depending on the cup size). And I put in one or two packets of sugar depending on the size of the cup as well. Both of mine were 4-creamer, 2-sugar cups, and I'm sure there were a lot of very nasty ditto-food calories consumed. I don't know how many as I'm not allowed to count (and obsess over) calories anymore. It makes my husband miserable when I do that.

I also made a failure of a Chicken and Chorizo Paella. I'm not going to share the recipe as I failed so miserably to get it right. The problem is that I over-filled the pressure cooker, and it wouldn't pressurize, so I had to complete the cooking in a pan on the stove. The rice was mush, and the chicken ended up being tough. The only saving grace was the chorizo. That was tasty. Next time, I'll make half the recipe, and then do the other half later. If I do it right the next time I make it, I will let you know the recipe.

Failed to make good food graph:


I got what I deserved; didn't I? I failed to make good food, so I'm being punished with weight gain? This is not a good way to look at things, but I can't help it. I just do.

My husband's weight is down today. He's at 233 lbs today. O, to be that thin. For him, though, it's too high. It will be too high for me too, but I have to get there first. I am more than 100 lbs heavier than he is. I would love to weight less than my husband. I'll get there.

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 ...
