Midweek Update

I ordered 3 books on leptin resistance last week from Amazon and they arrived on Monday — I immediately scanned them for useful information and they all contained some very useful information.
I started applying the guidelines and what a difference! I have lost 7 lbs. this week already (I had to peek [...]

Monday Morning Update

I’m feeling better and a lot calmer this morning plus I got some sleep last night. However, most of the reason I feel better is because I feel like I got control back and managed to keep my calories down to 800 yesterday (I did add in the calories for Crystal Light [...]

Diet Update Weighin Week 16

Weight: 259.5 – weight gain this week 1 and 1/2 lb
This was the hardest post I have had to make so far since the start of my fatblogging. As I suspected, I gained from the events of this weekend.

Sunday Morning Update

So far so good — Friday at the Chinese restaurant went well, I only had what I had planned to eat and I didn’t get hungry for the rest of the day and night. Later in the evening we even had enough energy to go back out and look for the salad shooter and [...]

It’s Friday, and at first I was a bit nervous about dealing with this weekend because I have three days to deal with “eating” situations – one is OK if planned for, but three [...]

Stop Cleaning Your Plate

Diet Tip for overcoming “cleaning your plate and don’t waste food” habit.
The other day as I was eating my “big” bowl of air popped plain popcorn, I realized I didn’t “have” to finish it if I wasn’t hungry just because it was in the bowl. I use popcorn as my one and only indulgence on [...]

Renovating My Temple

“…my body doesn’t LOOK like a temple currently……ok, so it’s a little run down. It’s been neglected for 2 or 3 decades. Gotta air the temple out. Put some stones back in place. Clean off the moss and cobwebs. Get some crazy bats to move. Hell, I might even upgrade it some. A little work [...]

Diet Update Weighin Week 15

Weight: 258, weight lost this week 1/2 lb; (total lost so far 35.5 lbs)
**breathes a sigh of relief** At least I dodged the bullet for another week and managed to salvage it (the extra 1.5 lbs. I saw yesterday on scale is gone). I’m feeling pretty good overall about the progress so far, and a [...]

When will I learn?

WARNING:  big rant ahead, you may want to take an alternate route.
I know, I know, I know, I shouldn’t weigh myself before the offical weighin of early Monday morning — but so often I just can’t resist the urge to peak, either because I feel like I gained weight or I feel like I’ve been [...]
