2018 JUL 12 -- Day 92

Up another pound. I'm still not discouraged, though. I'm eating food with my husband as it is the weekend for me, but I still don't enjoy seeing my weight go up. Down is much more appealing! This is certainly something that goes without saying, though.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 344.6 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

My husband let me know that we are going to have  a house guest again. This is a real source of stress for me. I have asked him to monitor me to make sure I don't eat more due to stress, but I know that's asking a lot of him. He doesn't like to criticize me, and he doesn't like to deny me things that might make me happy.

I have definitely been feeling the stress of expecting the house guest. That's for sure! I have been having angry flashes. They scare me, and I feel bad when I lash out at my husband. I try not to, but sometimes it just comes out.

The situation that happened before that stopped me from continuing the original diet -- or that made me stop is more accurate -- is this house guest moving in just a day before Thanksgiving last year. The stress of it coupled with all the work I do at work and the work I do at home in cooking and cleaning made me feel as though I didn't have time in my life for dieting. Obviously that's not true, though.

Managing my diet is not too hard for me to add it to my daily routine. I was lying to myself so that I could stop worrying about one more thing that was causing me stress. This is why I was thinking I might be an emotional eater. I just have to keep remembering that regardless of what stress I am under or how I feel, the one thing I can't stop doing is focusing on my diet. Other things can fall my the wayside if need-be, but my diet is important. 

I am ultra committed to making my diet work this time graph:

2018 AUG 2 -- Day 113

My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  340.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high? I read that there is possibly glucose in  my fat cells th...

2018 JUL 28 -- Day 108

I have lost a little bit of weight from yesterday to today, but I'm still not too happy. I am about three pounds heavier than where I should be right now. I know it's because food inevitably causes weight gain, and breaking my fast two days a week will invariably make my weight bounce back a bit. While I have to accept it, I don't have to like it. Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  339  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I was feeling a bit yuck from a combination of my fight with the porcelain fairy and the stress I've been under. I decided that eating would be a good idea today, so I had a salad with a nice, fat-infused Italian dressing I had made and some feta cheese and a few cherry tomatoes. It was really tasty. I also ate about an ounce or two of pork rinds. You'd be surprised at how many rinds are in a single ounce. They are a bit difficult to weight, though. I had quite a handful of them. Likely, it was two h...

2018 JUL 30 -- Day 110

I gained 3 lbs. I hate that I gained 3 lbs. I made the decision to change my eating regime and start eating when I feel hungry. I ate with my husband when we got home from work yesterday. We had taco salads. It was good, but I am now 3 lbs heavier than I was yesterday. This doesn't make me feel good. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  341  lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I had about the same amount of actual salad that he had, but while he had an Italian Romaine blend of lettuce, I had a spring mix with baby spinach. I also drank almost my entire 7-cup bottle of water -- maybe 5 cups of it. I know that fiber retains water, so I'm hoping that when I eliminate the salad as waste, I will lose this 3 lbs and then some. We shall see and only time will tell. I feel good, though. I feel better than I have in several days. That's telling. Have I been severely dehydrated, maybe? I don't know. Have I been missing out ...
