2017 OCT 26 -- Day 68

I finally saw 377 lbs on the scale again today. I'm not going to trust it to stay there, though. This also happened after I dropped off a load of treasure for the porcelain fairy, and I fully expected to see a fairly decent drop on the scale. It's not as dramatic as I would have liked. Also, I'm starving myself again to see if I can get the scale to budge.

If a diet is a "battle of the bulge," then would a plateau be a "battle of the budge?" Heh. I amuse myself, and that's all that really matters.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 377.8 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

Again, though, I'm not really feeling into posting much today. It's Thursday. It's my weekend. I don't feel like I'm having a nice, restful weekend, though. I have a lot to do. I am also obsessively playing a new XBox One game my husband introduced me to called "Path of Exile." it's fun, but it's occupying a lot of my time. I have things like laundry and cleaning and cooking to do! Ugh!

So, today I will tell you some lame jokes that I love. I'm not really in the mood to write a proper blog post. I'm feeling lazy. Enjoy these:


A snail saved up his money his entire life so that he could buy a sports car and drive fast. He'd never gone anywhere very fast fast, and it was on his bucket list. He went to the car dealer when he had saved up enough and laid down cash to buy the fastest car on the lot. He had one request: he wanted the dealership to paint a big "S" on the side so everyone would know a snail was driving the car. It was done, and as soon as the paint was dry, the snail got in and zoomed off the lot. The dealer could only marvel at it as he said, "Wow! Look at that S-car go!"

What do you call it when a dinosaur crashes his car? Tyrannosaurus Wrecks

Have you heard the one about the Corduroy pillow? It's making headlines!

2017 OCT 25 -- Day 67

I don't have much to say today. I thought I had beaten the plateau, but it is still going strong. I'm the same weight today as I was yesterday. This is not fun, but now I sound like a bit of a broken record. I'm not going to say much today, so I'll share a recipe. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight: 378.2 lbs Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Japanese-style Ginger Salad Dressing This goes well as a coleslaw dressing. I've used it with a mix of classic cabbage slaw and Asian-style broccoli slaw. 1-1/2 C chopped yellow onion 1 C peanut oil 1/2 C rice wine vinegar 1/2 C water 3 tsp fresh ginger root, minced or grated 3-1/2 tsp fresh garlic, minced or grated 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 4 tbsp lemon juice 4 tsp sugar 4 tsp soy sauce 4 tsp ground mustard 4 tsp sesame seeds Place all ingredients except sesame seeds into a small food processor and pulse for 1 minute, or until desired consistency.  Stir in sesame seeds.

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...
