2017 NOV 1-- Day 74

Ugh! 377 lbs. Okay, body. It's time to stop now. Go back down. Down! I didn't even have any candy. What is even happening? I was so good today. I swear! I honestly think it's the oil. I think the fact that we switched to Bertoli, and Bertoli is not completely flavorless, has messed up the whole system. There's only one bottle left of this stuff. Just 12.5 days worth. Then we can switch back to the H-E-B brand that I prefer. That has so little taste, it's like drinking water (especially because I take a swig of water right before and after I down a tablespoon of the ELOO).

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 377 lbs ⇧ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

Do you ever just want to do something? I mean, something crafty or hand-made. I get that way sometimes. I just want to make something. I want to get my hands on something that I can use to create something. I have a lot of projects started and half finished. I should really complete those. Deadlines are fast approaching. I need to complete the Christmas ornaments for my aunt-in-law. I want to finish a baby blanket for my friend's daughter. I want to make a shawl for my grandma. I need to make a pen for my friend at work.

But the XBox One beckons. There's a new game my husband and I have been playing. It's call Path of Exile. It's fun. It's addictive. This is not healthy, is it? Addiction isn't good. Moderation is good. I don't binge on food, but I unashamedly binge TV shows and video games. Aren't these the lesser of evils, though? I'm losing weight, and that's good. I'll just keep telling myself that. That will make it all better.


I am a Level 27 Witch. I can rain down fire on my enemies! Rawr!

Binging is bad graph:

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.

2018 JUN 15 -- Day 65

The weight is coming down. I'm down by 1.4 lbs today from where I was yesterday. It still doesn't make up for the 9 lbs in total that I gained from just one weekend of eating, but it is going to take some time to get that back off. I really want it to come off as quickly as it came on, but we all know that will probably not happen. If I want something, that's the surest way to make sure it doesn't happen! LOL Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  356.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I have been watching videos on YouTube about how people are shedding their pounds, and it is all very counter-intuitive to what I have learned from Doctors Fung and Berg. But it appears to have worked for these YouTubers, so who am I to judge or criticize what they have chosen to do? A lot of it is a variation on either the eat less; move more (ELMM) theory, or the calories in, calories out  (CICO) theory. I hope for their sak...

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 ...
