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!

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 ...
