How do you spell "relief?" W-E-I-G-H-T-L-O-S-S.
My scale showed me 378.8 lbs today. Although it's over a pound more than my lowest weight to date, it's well below 380 lbs, and that's great. I think I figured out what happened and why I started sliding backwards -- I mean, other than my wonky dietary habits of late. When my husband went shopping and picked up two new bottles of oil, he got a different brand.
The oil has been tasting awful lately, and knew something was wrong. I thought it may be going bad -- turning rancid. I looked at the label today, and it was Bertoli instead of the H-E-B brand we'd been using. That's gotta be it; right? I mean, taking a different-tasting oil is tantamount to changing oils completely. And in changing oils, the body takes time to readjust. I'm readjusting.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 378.8 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs
We will stick with the Bertoli brand going forward, but I gotta say, this stuff tastes nasty. It tastes a bit too much like olives. It's still a really light-tasting oil, and it should be pretty much flavorless, but I get a bit of a taste of it when I take it. I think I may be a super taster. I'll have to plug my nose when I take it. I don't want anything stopping my weight loss success.
My husband saw 233 lbs on the scale today. He's down a bit from yesterday's 233.2 lbs. That's fantastic! He's down to his lowest number since starting the diet, and we're hopeful he will continue the downward trend. His scale suggested that to et to his goal of 190 lbs, he should consume about 2,500 calories a day for 52 weeks. I know I'm feeding him well below that number. He still feels fine, but he may also need to start taking vitamins like I am doing. We'll see.
Better-looking graph than yesterday's graph graph:
That is a nice sharp turn in the right direction. Continue, please. Thanks.
I'm not eating lunch at work anymore. Not until I get my weight down below 377 lbs. Maybe not even after then if this works. I still want to be thin yesterday. Come on, body. Cut me some slack. Do good for me for a change. I promise you won't regret it.
I did have some coffee with cream and sugar in it. That wasn't calorie-free. I'm not worried about it, though. I'm eating very few calories, so I should see weight loss again soon. But the issue I have been having these past few days is not unlike how my entire life has gone. I eat very little, and I gain. It makes no sense if calories in = calories out. Clearly that's not how it works in real life.
Here's the thing: I know that there have been days when I ate a lot of calories. But I should have been burning around 3,000 calories a day in my sleep at the weight I was. I certainly wasn't consuming more than 3,000 calories daily and consistently for years. I would eat normally for the most part, I would have have an occasional binge where I might consume over 2,000 calories in a day, and some days I wouldn't eat at all. Those binge days were few and far between as were the no-food days. So why, then, would I get so heavy? There is clearly far more at play than the simple calories in = calories out theory would explain.
