and it was good, damnit. but, i think i want to live…
The first couple of days kind of suck being hungry, but you get used to it pretty fast.
Then, somedays, it just sucks again.
But a lot of time, being hungry feels good, because you know it’s working, that you’re doing something.
This last time, it was only the first day of being hungry that sucked. Now I’m into it. Strange, I know.
Eat half of what you think you want. or what you would
For every time you were stuff, you need to be hungry.
On Friday, I was down to 196.3, now on Monday I’m 198.8
I did eat more this weekend, but it’s a trip how easy it is to gain weight fast. I think it’s probably water and salt or something like that.
Still, I just wanted to get through the weekend sub-200..
Monday’s are hard. Not eating till 5 is tougher after a little splurging.
So, it works. I’ve done 3 days of not eating till 5 or 530. then I eat two bowls of meat and salad with dressing. I go pretty light on the dressing, but just because I don’t like it swimming. A couple of teaspoons of PB later, and that’s it.
I was stuck over 200 for weeks. And then i got strict again, and boom.
Just accomplished something really cool. I want to celebrate, go get a treat. I’m hungry too. But, fuck it, I can’t. I already ate it. And, I’m carrying around. I went celebrated nothing too early, and now I’m just wearing it.
Hang in there. This is a tough moment, but it will pass. And you’ll be stoked that you won.
I am surprised! I am stoked. I broke 200. I’m sure I’ll bounce above and back down, but I’m here! Thank God. Ok. Now 190.
And I ate a big ass burger and had a few beers yesterday. nice.
There is not rhyme or reason to the scale sometimes.
I woke up frustrated, remembering my lack of progress that I observed yesterday. Almost ready to give up and try something else. I am tired of being hungry all the time.
But, I got on the scale this morning and boom, 201.3. That’s progress I can live with.
And yesterday wasn’t a very strict day. That’s what I’m saying, no rhyme or reason.
Yesterday I had two salads with meat, one with crushed corn chips in it. Two eggs. A cheater bowl of lucky charms cereal and a beer at night.
This morning should have been a fail, but for some reason, it went down. I don’t know.
Just keep at it. The scale will frustrate you and the scale will reward you.
Keep going, almost to to sub-200!!
After the cheat day weekend. Not too bad. Actually, over 205 then down to 205 later in day.
I got hungry today. It’s hot and I didn’t sleep well. These days are a challenge.
But, I did good. Held to it.
Really want to break 200. Looking at probably two weeks. Man, this is slow. And I’m freakin hungry half of the time. Crazy.
The hunger did subside a bit, though, before I ate. That’s promising.
Some days are hard and it really sucks. You just want to eat. Like today. I’m hungry. And tired of being hungry. But, fluff it, it’s almost 2pm. Only hour or two to go.
Yesterday morning I weighed 203.9 lbs. Then I went to graduation lunch and ate a mole enchilada plate. And probably 30 chips. I ate half the rice and beans. Had a bowl a cereal later in the that day, and that’s it.
Today I weight 204.4 Half a pound more!! Could be all the salt, and the major shift is water. Or poop! or both.
Still, slow and steady wins the race. Keep going. I’m really determined to get sub200.
And, today, you eat almost nothing. Why? because you already ate it. (and it was good, but not that good. The chips and salsa with guac were actually more rewarding, I didn’t need the rest. Keep that in mind in the future. Where to get you “cheat” hits from.
And, perversely enough, I missed my salad.
Also, that intestinal thing that’s going on seemed to flair up a bit.
