2018 JUN 18 -- Day 68

I am so fat! Ugh!

I told my husband that, and he said, 'you're not fat." It's sweet, but it's not entirely accurate. I mean, I am definitely fat. I know he doesn't know how to respond in a situation like that. It's endearing. So I mentioned that it wasn't accurate, but I let him know I appreciated it.

He told me that I wasn't as fat as the day we got married, and then he wasn't sure if he put his foot in his mouth or not. I will take it as the compliment he meant it to be. I'm glad I've reduced in size even if I am struggling to lose more right now.

Poor guy! I must make things so hard on him. LOL

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 357.4 lbs ⇧ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

 I'm up again by over a pound. I really don't know what's happening here. I'm just going to keep going with what I have been doing. Maybe I have gained some muscle. Maybe it's water weight. My feet have been a bit swollen these past few days. That could very well be a thing.

On a happier note, my grandma called today, and she asked me whether I got the check she sent. She is footing the bill for our cruise already, so i was surprised to know there was an additional check involved. She gave us more money to cover tipping and shore excursions! She is so wonderful, but I feel a bit guilty accepting such extravagance. I need to get over that.  This is something she wanted to do. I hope she gets to come along with us. She is in her 90s, but she's pretty spry.

I am still hopeful that I ca lose a significant amount of weight so I can wear really cute clothes on the cruise. That is just going to make it so much more enjoyable for me. I am trying to hold off on buying anything new at all until it's almost time to go on the cruise. I will continue to wear the same clothes I have no matter how big they get on me. I have a sewing machine if I need to alter things. I just want to feel the full effect of the satisfaction and happiness that seeing my new size will give me.

I can't want to see the new lower number on the tag 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.

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...
