2018 JUL 1 -- Day 81

My weight is up tow pounds today. It's not the end of the world. I know I can drop it again. It's still 1.2 lbs lower than two days ago, so I'm fine with it. It was a sharp up-turn, and I'm hoping to see a sharp down-turn tomorrow or the day after. It's my hope, but if it doesn't happen, I won't be as sad as I was when I gained 10 lbs over two days. That was tragic!

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 353 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

I know what possibly cause the gain. I did a couple of things that could have done it. I was preparing food for my husband, and I did break my fast and eat a few things. I made the ham and cream cheese roll-ups, and I ate one of them. I also made a total of 72 mini quiche, and I ate six of those. I also ate a pickle.

In addition to the food that I ate, I also only slept about a total of four hours. That's because of all the time it takes for food prep and cooking. The mini quiche, for example, are done 24 at a time. So I have to make three pans, and each pan takes 20 minutes of actual baking with 10 to 15 minutes off cool-down. That time really adds up.

I have been watching episodes of My 600 Pound Life and Fat Doctor. These are very motivational for my weight loss. I have to say, though, that I'm jealous of the people in these shows for already having gone through it and come out the other side. I'm still fewer than three months into my diet, so I have a long ways to go yet.

I can't wait to see who I will become 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.

2018 JUN 15 -- Day 65

The weight is coming down. I'm down by 1.4 lbs today from where I was yesterday. It still doesn't make up for the 9 lbs in total that I gained from just one weekend of eating, but it is going to take some time to get that back off. I really want it to come off as quickly as it came on, but we all know that will probably not happen. If I want something, that's the surest way to make sure it doesn't happen! LOL Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  356.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I have been watching videos on YouTube about how people are shedding their pounds, and it is all very counter-intuitive to what I have learned from Doctors Fung and Berg. But it appears to have worked for these YouTubers, so who am I to judge or criticize what they have chosen to do? A lot of it is a variation on either the eat less; move more (ELMM) theory, or the calories in, calories out  (CICO) theory. I hope for their sak...

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 ...
