I weight less today than I did yesterday, and that, my friend, is progress! It's not much, but it's some. I'll take what I can get. I need to see 349 lbs show up on my scale again. That number was so encouraging. I'm wondering if there was somehow some hidden carbohydrates in the corned beef of which I was previously unaware. Did they use sugar to make it? I don't know. I didn't see that on the label, but there wasn't much on the label showing what was in the recipe, either. So I really can't say for certain was in it.
Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 357.4 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
This is really the only thing I can come up with. Also, I discussed the possibility of only eating pickles and olives with my husband, and he's on board. He basically told me I can do whatever I want. He won't say "boo" about it. I know that he cares about me and he worries about me, but I am fairly confident that I know how to safely do this so that I don't injure myself. I have read a lot on the topic of fasting.
Interestingly, there are some carbs in pickles. I can't avoid them. But there are about 1 or fewer than 1 per serving. The package of pickles I have been eating at work have 3 total servings. And I know from the label that they have less than half a carbohydrate per serving because it says 0 on the label. It can have as much as .49 carbs per serving and still say 0.
I bought big 80 oz jug of pickles, and I can't wait to break that open. The label says it contains one carbohydrate per serving. I'm not afraid of that. I am still maintaining my 20 grams of carbohydrates or less per day regimen, so I'm good. I can have 20 servings of pickles if I am so inclined! I'm not, but I could. That's all I'm saying. LOL
Also, as olives are purse fat and nothing else, I can have those without technically breaking the fast or losing the benefits of fasting. So I wouldn't technically be off my fast while eating olives and pickles, but it is food, so I'll count it as such. I was thinking about the possibility of adding cheese, too. At the moment, i will try going a week or two without eating anything more than the olives and pickles and see how I fare. This will be an interesting experiment to say the least.
If we are what we eat, will I become and olive or a pickle? Who knows! We will just have to find out.

Another awesome thing, though, is that my husband is willing to abide my pickle and olive love even though he hates them. He even bought me pickles and olives! While I'm doing this odd pickle and olive fasting, he has vowed not to kiss me, but I'm sure I can make it happen if I really wanted! LOL
