2018 JUL 26 -- Day 106

I forgot to weigh myself today. I was feeling really, really miserable. I had a huge fight with the porcelain fairy today. I won, but I'm much worse for wear. I feel a bit weakened and ill. I need some time to reset and recover. I did the laundry yesterday, and my husband was kind enough to do the grocery shopping for me, so at least that part is already done and out of the way. Now all I have to do it prepare food for the week.

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

I was a bit hungrier last night than I have been for a while. I'm not sure why that is. I'm sure it contributed to the rift between the porcelain fairy and me, though. My nighttime meal was pork rinds and cream cheese. It was really tasty. I was thinking that I should have had some greens with that. I might need a bit more fiber in my diet. The only trouble is that fiber is carbohydrates. Granted, they are the kind that don't really matter as they are no digested, but still. They are carbs, and I'm afraid of how my body will react to them.

My weight is a carryover from the night before, so it's no accurate. I don't know what I weigh today. I suppose I could go get on the scale now, but I don't know if that will be accurate. I have been trying to take my weight daily at the exact same time to make sure I have consistency. I think that's important given the way the body can fluctuate within a range of about 5 lbs throughout the day. I don't know whether 6:30 to 7:00 PM is my lightest time of the day, but that's the weight measurement I have been using.

Given that I had that huge fight with the porcelain fairy, my hope is that my weight will drop significantly. However, I also ate in abundance, too. It could go up. Only time will really tell.

I wish there was a way to get the nutrients I need without eating.

I forgot to weigh myself, so disregard today's graph 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 ...
