2018 JUL 25 -- Day 105

My weight has dropped by 1.2 lbs, but I have been feeling terrible. After eating I feel better for a while, but then I feel terrible again. By terrible I mean that I have that gross feeling still, and I have been feeling a bit weak. I'm also feeling really, really cold today. It's been a while since I have felt this cold. The bacon-wrapped chicken thigh and salad were delicious, though. I enjoyed every bite!

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 337.4 lbs 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

I'm wondering again if I am dehydrated, but I'm not experiencing any other symptoms of dehydration. I'm thinking this is caused by a combination of stress and a need to visit the porcelain fairy. I have tried to trek to her cave, but she sends me away as I have no gifts.

My husband brought our bowling paraphernalia out of hiding and offered to take me. Wouldn't you know it? I am the one that didn't feel up to it this time. Ugh! I was going to go anyhow because we discussed inviting a friend. The friend couldn't go, so we didn't. This was entirely my fault this time. I should have done it, though. Maybe it would have helped me stave off the inevitable weight gain of my weekend eating.

I weigh less today than yesterday even though I ate, and that's always nice. I don't know how it's possible, though. I told my mother-in-law that I have lost nearly 90 lbs at this point, and she wanted pictures. You know what they say: "pics or it didn't happen!" So I took pictures, and I sent them off to her. While I am not at my goal of 325 lbs yet, I do have pictures I can share for my weight today. Don't worry, I will also take pictures when I hit 325 lbs, too.
I don't know about you, but I can really, really see a difference here, and it's exciting! So you may be wondering what the comparison picture is. That's me at just under 400 lbs. It's 399.8 lbs. So this is showing a difference of 62.4 lbs. Imagine what I looked like at 425 lbs!

What I love about these images is that nearly everything is smaller, but my breasts are pretty unchanged size-wise. I thought those were getting smaller, but it seems that only my back was actually reducing. I have considerably less back flab from the image on the left to the image on the right. I also have lost most of that neck hump, too. I really wanted that gone, so I'm glad that's one of the first things going.

It's fun to see a significant visual difference in pictures 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 ...
