and it was good, damnit. but, i think i want to live…
Hard to believe that I’ve lost 10lbs and I’m still over 200. But, I’m making progress.
Yesterday I ate shredded pork with salad. twice. a little dressing on salad. second time i crumbled corn chips in. a handful.
I also ate half a can of spahetttios with meatballs and a few ounces of milk.
That’s it.
I thought it was pretty decadent.
Do I Weight More or Do These Pants?
I weight myself in the morning. Not every morning, but most. I was down to 205.8 or something, and now I’m at 206. 5
I haven’t been pigging out, but, maybe I’ve eaten more. I’m not sure.
I am wearing sweatpants instead of the normal pjs during weight in. Should try to keep it consistent. Always the same clothes.
What to do when tired/stressed/depressed and you want to eat?
I don’t know yet. Food is a wonderful drug. So far the best solution is don’t get too tired/stressed/depressed.
I’m working on it.
Today I semi-failed.
And it’s a slippery slope. Be careful.
Build small successes and discipline into your life.
Start the day by making your bed. This sets the tone.
But, it’s definitely less if you don’t start the day with anything with sugar or, well, anything. No calories. You already ate it. It’s sitting on your body. Get used to being hungry sometimes. It will pass.
Cheat foods are almost not worth it. They do give a rush of pleasure, but I swear I’m hungrier after I eat them than I was before!
I am also taking these steps. Maybe the mindset is crucial.
I make my bed every morning. Get a dopamine hit, and train myself to “do good” and get reward.
I limit mind/soul stealers. FB, News sites, any “extra curricular” sites.
I ask, “what would healthy guy” do right now. If i’m feeling challenged.
I tell myself, “you already ate it.”
I think it’s cool, that my body is being used as designed. I did already eat it. and my body saved it. Now, I’m going to live off of it.
It’s really cool to think about, and I feel strangely connected to my ancient ancestors. The survivors, the bad-asses. I want to be a bad-ass.
Covid lockdown is ending.
I was 213 a week ago. I have a fatty liver now and some weird digestive things going on.
I am 206.7 now.
I am doing IM fasting. About 20/4 or so. Maybe more like 22/2.
Black coffee only before. And maybe tea. Sugar and milk just made me more hungry.
It’s easier not to eat, than it is to eat just a little.
Today, I’m not even hungry for some reason. Not yet and it’s already 3pm. It’s been going great and it’s easy.
I try to eat well in my eating window, but I did eat half a can of spaghettios and meatballs. Mostly, though, I eat shredded meat on salad with dressing.
I have one piece of bread, too. On the weekend, I’ll eat more freely. Then, back to this. Maybe only splurge one day, though. This is going good. It’s working, and I am starting to feel good.
oh, it’s been about a week. so probably a lot of water weight, but we’ll see. better try to drink more fluids, besides just coffee.
