I’m back to 169. Today I had the usual iced coffee. I got some potato wedges too. I had a breakfast TV dinner and 8 crackers for lunch. For dinner I had a can of Spaghettios with franks. I’m being told stuff about dieting that I don’t believe. I believe it’s all calories in calories out. You can eat a thousand calories of only Doritos and twinkies and lose weight. 3 thousand calories of broccoli you will gain. It’s about quantity not quality. Not saying it’s good to eat just a thousand calories of Doritos and Twinkies. But I strongly believe in calories in vs calories out. And I don’t believe in starvation mode either. I lose fast on just 800 calories a day. I will not believe anything anyone tells me. And yeah 169 pounds is not a good weight for my height. It’s not bad, but I can lose 29 pounds and be totally fine.

I will follow your quantity calories in/out up to a point, then i will say quality will override. You cant take a race car (or race horse) to the track on poor quality fuel, because poor combustion will clog up its filter and it wont run.

The filter being the human liver. That is where weight loss happens, as fats are turned into sugar and vice versa. You dont want them recycling in there forever. I think thats why fat people get nonalcoholic fatty liver. Hey i could live on cupcakes, but my liver cant anymore. Lately all my effort goes into not upsetting it! So i try to give it "single" foods - oranges, potatoes - that it doesnt have to figure out wtf it is.

Lets see how this mind trick works for me!

I don’t know. I just know my diet has always been bad basically my entire life and for the past 5 years I’ve been under 200 pounds and I rarely eat vegetables or fruit and I very rarely exercise. Basically all I do is just eat less calories. My therapist is trying to tell me my frequent infections are from my bad diet. I’m not saying that’s not true but I don’t really get it.

But yeah I see your point.

My liver was messed up when I was 236 pounds but once I got down to about 200 it got better.

Today I had some peanut butter and a Mountain Dew for breakfast. For lunch I had a hard boiled egg and a dorayaki. I’m going to have a bag of steamed vegetables in a bit. Dinner will be a little can of spaghettios and also a cup of Almond breeze vanilla milk.

I'm maintaining at the moment. I had Pad Thai this morning with vegetables. I was craving the noodles. They weren't really good for me. I'm hoping the vegetables helped. I might make a smoothie this morning.

Yesterday i had a big ramen for lunch with a box of baby spinach and arugula stirred in, then later i had 2 packs of bachelors tomato cup of soup. Also oranges and brownies and bananas and coffee. I showed a little weight loss today, maybe a lb or two? Its hard to see and the needle wiggles a lot. I have really cut down on the tagamet over the past month so i am happiest about that. Like maybe once a week now.

I am trying to wait to see what i FEEEEEL like eating for my first meal. I eat a couple of oranges and maybe coffee, then just try to not overeat, or else it messes up my whole day. Pretty pathetic.

I am really hungry today. I ate late last night and then I ate early this morning. I'm craving soup now. I might have some. I'm really stressed and I want comfort food.

I got chipotles last night. But I didn’t wake up when my mom brought it home and I didn’t get up until 9:30 to eat. This morning I had my second quesadilla left over from last night and an iced coffee from McDonald’s. I’m trying to eat a sumo orange right now. I don’t know what I’ll do for dinner. Honestly nothing sounds good and I’d hate to waste $60 for the Cheesecake Factory just to eat a couple bites and get then get full.

Either way my therapist made it out so she’ll be right when I see her next week. If I don’t go to the doctor then that means I’m not taking care of myself. If I go to the doctor and I’m ok then that means I have an ED and still am not taking care of myself.

I ended up being incredibly low on food today. I had the quesadilla and coffee around 8AM. Then I had an orange at 1. For dinner I had about half of a mashed purple sweet potato and a little can of spaghettios. Now I’m having 8.5 Oz of almond milk. So total it was about 1,060. I have never not splurged on my birthday. I think there’s something very wrong with me. I just don’t feel right.

I treated myself to a steak burrito bowl yesterday. I had it with veggies, brown rice, beans and guacamole. It was a nice treat. Today I feel fine. My knees feel good and I feel lighter. It's easier to get around. I'll have more veggies and beans today. Later I will have some deli turkey and cheese. I figure steak once a month is fine.

I ended up having a can of fatfree refried beans with some Oloves and 3 Suzy's Corn thins, an orange, a coffee. Then i was still hungry so i microwaved a couple of med-small russet potatoes, which i ate without salt or anything, even tho by the time they were done cooking, i was done with my coffee and i wasnt STARVING, but i wasnt stuffed either. So i think it was okay. Esp since im kinda doing intermittent fasting. About 18-6?

Maybe red peppers for dinner, i havent had any veg today.

Is intermittent fasting helping? My sister does that but I'm afraid she is just stressing out her body. She never loses weight. But she eats everything in sight when she does eat. I think she only eats between noon and 4 pm. But your fasting hours sound reasonable. I might consider it.

I dont think im stressing my body tooo much because im sleeping during most of my fasting! And it makes it easier for me NOT to eat after i go to bed because im afraid to get heartburn, i just hate it.

Dr NOW on my 600 lb life says meals should only last for 20 minutes, i need to start heading that way.

Between winter, and not wanting to go to the store because of covid, and my fridge is still broken, and just trying to find a way of eating that WORKS - not too much, not too little, just right! And no anxiety around it, and no bad poops! AND includes chocolate -

Basically, i am trying to find out what suits me, not trying to follow somebody elses plan. Its a real mindset change more than anything. And i feel like i havent succeeded at ANYTHING in so long, that going to bed without heartburn setting in is a major accomplishment.

I looooove potatoes. I cant believe i deprived myself of them as long as i have. Not any more! I think the heat is a big part of it too, like you say.

I’m back to the plan my dietician and I worked on. I’ve just been going too long without eating and it was making me feel sick and unable to get out of bed. So I’m back to oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. Soup with no broth with 4 crackers for lunch, and 3 eggs for dinner. Also Jif to go peanut butter too at some point during the day.

I also did 17 minutes on my walking machine this morning.

Today I had some udon noodles and a cherry Vanilla Coke for breakfast. Lunch was 2 soft beef tacos and one loaded nacho taco from Taco Bell. Dinner is going to be an egg and 3oz of a ham steak. I have down 1,258 calories. I did 36 minutes on my Gazelle walking machine this morning. I’m thinking of doing another 24 to make it an hour but my stomach is really off right now probably from lunch, my shot this morning, and all the crap I took last night. So I’m waiting a bit.

I got REALLY manic about two years ago (2-3 hours sleep a night) & was speed walking about 4-6 hours a day. I also joined Weight Watchers (now known just as WW) & got really compulsive about using as few daily points as I could. I lost about 80 pounds in six months. About six months later, after a long depression, a period of sloth & having my APs kicked up, I gained back much of what I lost. I've got to do something about losing weight again. I had so much energy when I was lighter (& manic ).
