And I am back down again. Phew! This is a roller coaster, for sure! Look at that graph at the bottom of this post. Wouldn't that make for an exciting ride at an amusement park? I think it would. At the moment, my weight has gone back up by 6.6 lbs at the end of the last 30-day period, and I'm nearly 15 days into this month. It's half over! At this point, I have no hope of getting 10 lbs down this month. I'm sad about that. I'm hoping I end the month with a net loss, though. At this point, it is a net gain.
Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 357.8 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
1.6 lbs down over yesterday. I'll take what I can get. I am hoping it drops lower tomorrow, but I know where hope gets me. Nowhere. At an expected average loss of about a half-a-pound per day, i was hoping to be around 335 lbs by the end of this month. I was supposed to be around 344 lbs today, but here we are. I'm 13 lbs above that number.
On the bright side, today my husband found that our company's vending machines contained packages of dill pickles! There were 6 packages. We bought them all, and I labelled them and put them in the break room refrigerator so I can have pickles whenever I feel like I need something in my stomach or some electrolytes as a pick-me-up.
I'm still contemplating the idea of only eating pickles and olives on the days when I am supposed to break my fast. I haven't had a chance to ask anyone in the forum or Facebook groups for their thoughts on this. I haven't discussed it with my husband either, but he really hasn't done the amount of research I have done on the topic of the ketogenic diet and fasting. I'm sure he would question how healthy of a choice this is.
I'm a bit desperate to get the weight down, so am I considering this with a logical, clear, critically-thinking mind? While my husband may have concerns, I do want to bounce this idea off of him. He may have objections that I can consider, and that I haven't thought of, that may help me make this decision.
I will win this "battle of the bulge" one way or another graph:
