2018 JUL 3 -- Day 83

Today is the best day ever! I dropped another 1.8 lbs, and I am at 348.8 lbs today! I'm confident I can hold this weight and drop even more, too. I have to admit that I had my doubts a few weeks back when my weigth shot through the roof more than 10 lbs in 2 days, but I'm definitely back on track and heading in the right direction. I'm super excited about that. And while it's hard to tell for sure, I think my tummy is shrinking and my mother's apron is not hanging down so low anymore. I could be seeing things. This could be wishful thinking. I don't know. I will have to wait until I can take a new progress picture at 325 lbs to see what differences and changes there have been.

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 348.8 lbs 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

Tomorrow is the start of my weekend, and it should be an eating day. Right now I'm feeling pretty good without food. I'm not hungry and my energy is good. I don't know whether I want to eat tomorrow, to be honest. I'll have to see how I feel about it in the morning. If I'm not feeling hungry at the time I am supposed to eat, I think I will just wait until hunger strikes. I don't see any harm in putting off eating.

Having been through the ordeal of gaining 10 lbs in two days, and then losing it again, I can feel confident that I have unlocked the secret of weight loss, and I am no longer afraid to eat. If it happens again, I'll simply wait it out. I'm going to take measures to make sure it doesn't happen, but as vigilant as I am, things can happen; things that re beyond my control.

It's rather liberating to feel free of the burden of uncontrolled weight gain. I can control my weight. While my weight will fluctuate, and it will rise sometimes, I do not have the burden and stress on my mind that I can't control it. That is wonderful.

Now, I am only human, so I am not saying that I'll be okay with rising numbers on the scale. What I'm saying is that I don't have to worry that I'm stuck with rising numbers and no way out. That's how I have felt for a good 20 years of my life. I am stuck with rising numbers on the scale with no way out. That's terrifying and heartbreaking. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I want to lend my help and support for those in my position. I want people to know that there is hope, and we only need to crack the code!

I wonder how to get the message of this weight loss secret out to the whole world 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 ...
