Wow! I am 2.4 lbs lighter today than I was yesterday. And I know that this is from the bout I had with the porcelain fairy. I'm dreading bounce-back. I hope I don't go up to 350 lbs.
I feel like I ate a lot. I probably did. I had a really large salad with some cheese, olives, fish, and delicious ginger dressing. It was so amazing. I wouldn't change a thing. The fact that I didn't gain weight, though -- lost more than 2 lbs, actually -- that simply amazes me. Have I played a trick on my body. Am I lulling it into a false sense of security? We shall see.
Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 346 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
When watching shows like My 600 Pound Life and Fat Doctor wherein people get bariatric surgery to lose weight, I see how difficult it is on parents -- especially mothers -- to see and deal with their children gaining weight. I can only imagine how my own mother felt. The only trouble I have, though, is that these people are overeating to gain. I don't overeat. My issue was eating the wrong foods for my body.
I recall my mother putting me on the Slim Fast diet and having me join Weight Watchers when I was 13. At that time, I was around 385 lbs. My dad would take me to the gym every day to get me to work out. I did it. I worked hard at it. None of this helped. I would exercise hard. I would only drink one Slim Fast shake daily and eat literally nothing else. I would still gain weight.
The Slim Fast shakes were nothing but sugar, though. And sugar is the devil. My body can't tolerate it, and I simply gain weight when it is in my body. I know this now. I wish I knew that then so I could fight back and get the weight off by more natural means than a crash diet that doesn't work. I didn't even follow Weight Watchers' diet plan. My mother wouldn't let me eat anything. I could only drink Slim Fast. I went to the Weight Watchers meetings simply to get a weigh-in.
Slim Fast and Weight Watchers had no part in this graph:
