2017 NOV 6 -- Day 79

I have gained a pound. Is life over? Nope. I believe this is simply a "food baby."  I am at 376.4 lbs today, and I have a bit of a bloat in my gut. I ate some heavy food, and now I just have to wait until it processes through my body. This too shall pass! Hehe.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 376.4 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

I have come to realize that a small gain from one day to the next is fine. My body will adjust and lose it again now that I am working with a successful diet plan. My body now knows what it needs to do. And I also had a bit of a funny thought. My body is a machine. It's a machine built to use food as a source of fuel. This SLD method uses oil. I am oiling my machine so that it runs better!

I'm so smart sometimes! I am clearly very brainy.

I wonder how it is that people can come up with theories, ideas, and even devices and products that no one has ever imagined before. I mean, improving on existing things is one thing, but reaming up something radically different from what we've always known? How? It's amazing. I think this is why I love Star Trek so much.

The original series was incredibly innovative, but the Next Generation series also introduced some amazing things as well. Only now when I'm re-watching it can I fully appreciate the things that were likely added to common usage because of that show.

Seth Roberts contributed the SLD diet method to the world because he was innovative and went completely outside of conventional wisdom to try to uncover the truth about the human condition. I really appreciate that. He succeeded in my opinion. No other diet has ever had results where I'm concerned. This is the only diet that has resulted in prolonged weight loss for me. This is Day 79, and it's still working! I haven't bounced back to more than I weighed before I started, and I don't plan to.

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 ...
