2018 JUL 24 -- Day 104

I don't want to work today, but I have to. My weight is up by 0.6 lbs from yesterday. That's okay. It's odd, though, because it's my last day of a 5-day fast, and I would think I'd lose more weight. I chalk it up to stress at work. It has been really hectic.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 338.6 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

It could also be that I need to visit the porcelain fairy. I haven't in a while. This could explain my general "gross" feeling. I may be a bit backed up. What I'm hoping is that I can get rid of the backup and drop a good amount by doing so. That happens quite often. We'll see.

After this shift is over, I go home for my weekend. I will get to eat something. I am planning to make bacon-wrapped chicken thighs. They are tasty, but I'm really not feeling in the mood for food. I just don't want to eat. What should I do?

The plan is to make myself just one thigh. I'm making three for my husband. And I will eat a small portion of his large salad. I make a pretty good dressing with just salsa and sour cream, so I think I will make that for the ease of it.

All of this food sounds so tasty. And when I cook it or make it, it also smells like it's tasty. It doesn't make me feel hungry, though. I have no temptation to eat. Is this good or bad? I'm really not sure.

One thing I'm trying to do is get through more of Dr. Fung's book, The Obesity Code. There is a lot of really great information in there, and it's an enjoyable read, but I am really finding it hard to find time. When I have time to read, it's usually when I'm about to go to bed, and I get a few pages in and fall asleep. This is not the best method I've found for reading a book.

I love to read, but reading makes me sleepy 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 ...
