2018 JUL 22 -- Day 102

Woohoo! I am under 340 lbs today! I am at 339.6 lbs! Sure, it's just barely under, but under is under! This is a victory! I feel victorious! This makes me feel great, and I love seeing myself make progress. It's super exciting, and it's motivating. I'm losing slowing, just 3 lbs in total so far this month, but it's a net loss and not a gain. I'm good with that.

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 339.6 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

My husband and I stopped at the Walmart yesterday because I had a whim to buy a sports bra that I saw the other day. He convinced me to get smaller sizes than what I would normally choose. The dressing rooms were not open at that time of morning. so I had to buy them on faith and try them on at home. They fit!

They didn't all fit. I deliberately got one that was a bit smaller than the others. I have been wearing a bra size 44 DDD for some time, and the smallest sports bra I got was for 38 DDD. It was tight. I almost got it on and fastened, though. So it won't be long until I can fit properly in that size. The other tops were not based on bra sizes. There were two 22s, and a 3X which is, like, 22/24 usually. I can't believe I fit into them so well! 4X and 5X in this type of clothing used to be too tight to wear comfortably. I used to have to buy clothes in a "loose" 4X or 5X.

I am making so much good progress. This is really exciting. I can't wait to see what size I will be able to wear in March, 2019. I am fighting hard to lose as much as I can as quickly as possible, but I am fully confident that I am doing it in a healthy way. If I could just stop myself from allowing my stress to spiral out of control sometimes, I'd be faring a lot better. I need to learn some medication techniques or something.

I am so much smaller than when I started graph:

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...

2017 NOV 7 -- Day 80

Woo! 374 lbs! Now we're cookin' with oil! Hehe. I know that's not the saying, but it fits better than "now we're cookin' with gas." I also don't want to have my body associated with gas. LOL My plans are really coming together for Thanksgiving. We do ours the Sunday before the actual holiday so that our friends don't have to worry about fitting our event into their schedules with their own families. We don't really have family. It's just me and my husband. Our family all lives in other states, and we don't have kids or anything. We're free spirits, and our holiday traditions reflect that. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  374  lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Thanksgiving is more of a glorified game night anyhow. We all sit around the giant TVs in our living room and play Jackbox games. It's super fun. My husband also bought the Munchkin board game and a whole bunch of expansions for i...
