2018 JUL 31 -- Day 111

My weight is down today from yesterday, but it's way up from my lowest point. I don't like it. I want it to drop again. The problem is that I have decided to try eating instead of fasting for 5 days a week to see if I can kick my weight loss back into high gear. I don't know how long I will continue with this pattern, but what I hope to see is my weight stop going up, and start heading down again while I'm eating. My weight loss slowed a bit too much for my liking, and that's why I'm trying this.

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 340.6 lbs 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

I love that I get to be near my husband while we work. We are together nearly every day, and nearly every hour of every days. We are not tired of each other yet. But the awesome thing is that we get to work together doing the same job int he same office with nearly identical schedules. We have a one-day shift between our schedules; he works a day that I don't, and vice-versa. We both have customer support positions, and we take calls all day long.

The reason I am bringing this up is that I get to hear him occasionally talk about me or us or keto. He is so enthusiastic about these topics that his customers seem to ask for more details. He spends most of the time on his calls just talking about these things. I love how excited he is about the progress I've made, and about how he has been able to lower his blood glucose to the normal range.

At first, I was worried about how sad he was at losing carbs from his diet, I thought he may not be able to follow-through so completely. I'm happy that he has been able to adjust and maintain this lifestyle. This will benefit us both greatly in the long run.

He also likes to discuss keto with anyone who will listen, too. When we are out on the town, and we start talking to other people, the topic invariably turns to diet, health, and keto. When we are at a restaurant and need to order off-menu to fulfill our dietary needs and restrictions, the topic turns to keto, naturally. It was a difficult transition, but we have made it past the hardest hurdles. Now it's just a slow and steady marathon that we can comfortably handle.

I am excited that my husband is so excited 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...
