2017 OCT 6 -- Day 48

This time, I didn't lose a full pound as I had hoped, but I'm down almost a pound, and that's good enough. The scale gave me 382.6 lbs today. It's still the weekend, and I have not had to fend off the Pizza Monster. That's fantastic! Any day I don't have to face off against that beast is a good day.

I may have made a mistake in binge-watching My 600-lb Life. And how ironic is it that I am okay to binge on a TV show, but not food? It's probably not any healthier to binge-watch a TV show than it would be to binge on food, but it won't make me fat like a food-binge will.

And here's what today's numbers look like:

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 382.6 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

Isn't that pretty? Yeah. It is. So far since Day 31 of this month, I have dropped a total of 11.2 lbs, and I have 33.9 lbs to go to reach 359.9 lbs on the scale. I may be able to get there in the next 30-day period if I can keep this pace up. I am on track to be down about 18 lbs this month in total by Day 60. My average rate of weight-loss this month is about .62 lbs. Last month, my average loss per day was .68 lbs.

That's pretty awesome. I had wanted to drop about 20 lbs in this 30-day period, and if I can keep up the rate, I can get pretty close to 20 lbs. I had made a little mistake in my eating, and I paid the price with that terrible graph wobble at the beginning of the month. But I seem to have made it up fairly well. I'm set up to end this 30-day period somewhere in the range of 370 lbs to 379 lbs. I can't even imagine being that weight. I can't weight to see how I will look when I am in the 370-lb range. Unfortunately, with the way I am set up to do things, I will take a new picture when I hit my current short-term goal of 359 lbs, and not a moment sooner. Oh, the torture!

2017 AUG 30 -- Day 11

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...

2017 NOV 7 -- Day 80

Woo! 374 lbs! Now we're cookin' with oil! Hehe. I know that's not the saying, but it fits better than "now we're cookin' with gas." I also don't want to have my body associated with gas. LOL My plans are really coming together for Thanksgiving. We do ours the Sunday before the actual holiday so that our friends don't have to worry about fitting our event into their schedules with their own families. We don't really have family. It's just me and my husband. Our family all lives in other states, and we don't have kids or anything. We're free spirits, and our holiday traditions reflect that. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  374  lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Thanksgiving is more of a glorified game night anyhow. We all sit around the giant TVs in our living room and play Jackbox games. It's super fun. My husband also bought the Munchkin board game and a whole bunch of expansions for i...
