I am going in the wrong direction. I am now up by 9 lbs from the lowest point. I knew I would gain weight with eating, but I didn't expect 9 pounds! Like, what? This is insane. I know that most of this has to be water. There's no way it isn't. I can't lose more than a half a pound of fat or muscle per day, and I certainly can't gain 9 lbs of fat or muscle in two days. It's just not possible.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 358 lbs ⇧
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
If CICO (calories in, calories out) means anything at all (and we all pretty much know that CICO is BS), I know I have not eaten 31,500 calories over my metabolic consumption in just these past 2 days. I may have eaten 3,500 in total over these two days. That's well below what my body would consume while at rest. Water weighs a lot, and this has to be water weight. But, again, my feet don't show any signs of retention. I wonder where it could be. It's possibly in my belly; my belly is looking slightly more bloated.
I'm wondering if this would be the time of my monthly visitor if I were still having those. It could be a thing. It could very well explain what's going on with my body right now. It is a bit disheartening, but I'm hopeful that it will be gone just as fast during my fast which will begin again tomorrow morning.
I know that I will need to eat around 2:00 AM if I want to start my new 5-day fast at, like, 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM. I really don't want to eat, though. I feel really fat and sad. Where is this hidden retention? I really need to know. It is not in my feet where I usually find it. And should I continue to drink a lot of water? What is that going to do to me? Ugh! I really don't know what to do.
The sodium content of all that corned beef could be the culprit, too. There was a lot of sodium in the corned beef itself, and also in the broth that I drank. Not to mention the added salt in the butter I put into the broth, and the sodium in the olives and cheese, too. I had a lot of sodium. That could have also caused this. I'm not going to fret too much about it. I can't. If I do, I will drive myself crazy.
Today, to cheer myself up, I went through old clothes and pulled out some things that have been snug on me. They fit! That did make me feel a whole lot better, actually. There is this one red top that I bought many moons ago from Cracker Barrel. It's very "Christmassy," and I have never worn it. It is 3X, and that's the size I thought I wore at the time. There is no dressing room at the Cracker Barrel, so I just bought it on faith. It didn't fit. It was far too snug to even put on.
I put it on today. It fit. That was a major win for me. And if I am holding water in my belly, as soon as I release these extra pounds, I should fit into it even better! I can't wait to try it again once the weight comes back down to something reasonable. I was 349 lbs once. I can get there again!
I'm confused about my weight graph:
