Weight Loss and Exercise #4

I have a small container of cherry tomatoes, a small bag of baby carrots, and a small bag of broccoli left. And a couple of oranges. I think Ive gotten in the habit of adding mucho greens to my heavy starch and light protein meals. Last night for a snack i just had the other bag of baby carrots with zero italian walden farms dressing and was surprised how stuffed i got but without any heartburn.

I took my diuretic today so i will weigh myself tomorrow.

Last night at 11 I weighed myself without clothes on and I was 174. I just weighed myself now with heavy track pants and a T shirt on and I was 174. I have to weigh myself everyday because my weight changes so drastiscally from day to day. I have to be very particular in my calories and sodium mainly. Plus when I take my meds.

I was 169.6 today. I woke up feeling like crap so I had 5 chicken nuggets and a maple Coke. Lunch was 2 protein shakes, a small bag of chips, a rice cake, a yogurt, and a hard boiled egg. Dinner will be a can of potatos. I also had 2 cans of zero sugar soda and a pitcher of iced tea. I have down 1,309 calories, 76 grams of protein, 153 grams of carbs, and 1,938 mil of sodium.

I Noticed Treadmills No Longer Work for Me…

When I’m on a Treadmill I Can’t Relax and Instead I Feel Overwhelmed.

I Started Walking Outside. I Can Relax and Enjoy My Walk/Jog Outside.

I Get Very Thirsty so I Need to Find A Lightweight Backpack to Carry Water, Cellphone, Epipen and Keys.

I am now eating at a cheap dim sum place. They have so many dishes and are quite cheap. Today, I ate sesame chicken salad, dumplings, tapioca/ bean dessert, etc. So, I am eating here now and eating once a day still and drinking water for the rest of the day. Happy New Year!

I was 172.6 today. Which was sort of a relief to be honest. My meds have just been so wonky I've been taking them at really inconsistent times because of my severe anxiety and being out of one of my meds now for several days. I've been taking my hungry ones like at noon because of bad anxiety. Today I've been on track with my meds so my food choices and appetite have also been on track.

For breakfast I had an indviudal serving cup of Raisin Bran Crunch. Lunch was a single serve packet of Justins vanilla almond butter, 12 Chicken in a Biskit crackers, and the noodles out of a can of Campbells chicken noodle soup. So far for dinner I had a small orange. I plan on having a banana and a bowl of Quaker Oats blueberry strawberry oatmeal. I also had 2 zero sugar sodas this morning and a couple semi diet drinks from Sonic and Wendys. So I'm around 1200 calories but a bit heavy on the carbs at 216 but under my sodium goal.

I did this oatmeal, cereal, noodles in soup, crackers, bananas, almond/peanut butter thing late 2020 and it was fairly succesful. The ED lady I spoke with in December 2020 said it was fine to eat this way but just to combine the stuff I was eating into 3 solid meals.

I was 170 today. I had way too much to drink yesterday. I felt like I was bordering on water intoxication especially with the pitcher of tea I had last night. I did have 3 zero sugar Mountain Dews and 32oz of water early this morning. Which was a mistake. I had a can of Yoo Hoo around 10:30. Since then I've just had sips of water. I don't plan on making any iced tea today. My mom says that may be part of my stomach issues. I drink a huge pitcher every day.

To eat I had a packet of vanilla almond butter. Then I got a bowl from Chipotles. With the can of Yoo Hoo I'm right at 1220. I may just skip eating the rest of the day or I'll have a piece of fruit for later. My protein is really good at 90 grams and my carbs is at 140.

I got up really late today, even for me. Yesterday was pretty stressful, what with an online GP appt and calling to find out why my booster shot kept getting cancelled, so stupid.

So todays very late brunch was a bag of black rice, a bag of refried pinto beans, and a can of seasoned mixed greens (turnip and mustard), topped with a watkins farms zero cal honey dijon dressing packet for some sweetness.

As i was pouring the greens into a bowl to be heated up, i was like geez ive turned into Popeye.

It was quite a yummy dinner, i was surprised. Sort of a buddha bowl but nothing fresh in it. I need to start sprouting. Anyway i think i found my niche. Im full but not too full.

I was 168.2 today. I went to 5 Below and I got a couple 5 pound weights, an 8 pound dumbell, a 5 pound dumbell, and a cardio jump rope. I also stopped at the grocery stores for chips and cookies and little cups of ice cream since denying yourself that stuff is an automatic fail.

Today I've had a strange craving for peanut butter. I had some almond butter and a banana for breakfast along with a 20oz zero sugar Mountain Dew. The almond butter and banana were eaten seperatatly. People don't get how I can eat peanut/almond butter by itself

Lunch was a Yoplait whips yogurt, a small orange, a cup of crunchy Jif to go and a serving of pretzel Goldfish. Dinner will be a can of potatos, 2 pouches of tuna, and another orange. I have down 1220 calories, 62 grams of protein and 157 carbs. My sodium is just over 2000.

I try to buy indviudal packages of things instead of big bags because now I have a bag of Goldfish, a box of Chicken In A Biskit crackers, and a medium size bag of Fritos all opened at one time. I'm usuaully good about finishing something before opening something else.

I was like 169.8 today. I'm not sure how I gained in the first place and how I gained so much on 1,170 calories of fruit, yougrt, nut butter, tuna, a serving of pretzels and an Atkins shake. My carbs were really good at 113 and my protein was 73 mil which is over my goal. I was way under my sodium goal too.

So far today I had a serving of pretzel Goldfish, a pouch of tuna, and 2 roasted red pepper egg bites. I also had a 16oz can of birthday cake flavor Mountain Dew and a trenta iced tea lemonade. My mom wants to get pizza for dinner so I was thinking of getting the indvidual size cheese one. That would put me at 1,210 calories, 59 grams of protein, 183 carbs and 2198 mil of sodium.

I had the Goldfish around 2 this morning so maybe I should have another packet of tuna to even things out.

Three more pounds and I'll be at my milestone.

I weigh 171.6 with clothes on in the middle of the afternoon. I think my weight this morning was a fluke. I'm confused about what I've eaten today. I had the goldfish, the full calorie Mountain Dew, one packet of tuna, egg bites, the iced tea/lemonade, the atkin shake, and a few chips. I have logged in though a second pouch of tuna which I don't remember eating. But maybe I did and I just don't remember. Either way even with a piece of pizza for dinner I think I'm low. Especially since a good amount of my calories were eaten at 2AM. So I don't know what to do. And I don't remember if I ate the tuna. I guess I can check the garbage. Right now if I did eat it I'm at 1,237 calories. Which is still a bit low especially since I did very early morning snacking.

I was 166.2 this morning. For breakfast I had a couple Yoplait whips oranges and cream yogurts that expired on the 31st so I needed to eat them. I also had a trenta black tea lemonade. For lunch I had an Atkins shake and my normal order from Jimmy Johns. An extra roast beef, extra tomato, ez lettuce, no mayo unwich. I'm not sure on dinner. I may just have tuna and work on the bag of pretzel Goldfish, the box of Chicken in a Biskit crackers, and the bag of lemon salt Fritos I have opened all at one time. With everything I have logged in I am at 1260 calories, 71 grams of protein, and 140 carbs. I'm not sure on my sodium though.

I was still 166.2 today. For breakfast at 8:15 I had a serving of pretzel Goldfish, a serving of lemon salt Fritos, and a can of regular orange vanilla Coke. I stopped at Sonic around 9:30 and I got a medium cheese fries which I ate about half of. I gave the other half to my mom. I still counted for the whole thing though. Then I got a vanilla diet Dr. Pepper and 3 sugar free blackberry iced teas. Dinner was egg bites from Starbucks and a can of Chunky chicken noodle soup without the broth. Then I had a piece of walmart brand pumpkin cheesecake. I'm at 1,585 calories minus whatever I didn't eat of the fries and minus whatever the broth was.

Stress-eating is making it hard for me.

Today I didnt eat until 11. Normally I wake up at 7 starving. I woke up at 7:45 in a rush to make it to the store and gas station. I got a couple diet sodas from Sonic but I didnt even think of getting food from there. After therapy I had a Pop Tart. I tried eating 2 servings of Chicken In A Biskit crackers and an Atkins shake for lunch. I had one serving and then 2 crackers of the next serving but I couldnt finish them. The 14 I did eat were eaten over an hour. I was able to chug the Atkins shake. I just now had some tomato soup. Drinking stuff is ok but eating stuff is tough. I'm at 853 calories right now. That includes the syrup in the 2 diet sodas from Sonic I had. 853 calories is way too little to lose and I don't want my metabloism to slow down so I'll have to figure out something. I've had most of my meds except my 160 mil geodon and my melatonin.

Edit: I ended up eating a single serve package of RX maple almond butter and 2 pouches of Starkist tuna. So I am at 1,203 calories which is pretty accurate but also pretty low. My protein was also a bit low but my carbs were good. I was just about at my sodium goal. I try not to eat soup because of the sodium but this didn't have a huge amount for soup and I wanted something that wasn't solid.

I had planned on eating comfort food today. While still sticking to my calorie budget. I had 5 Tyson chicken nuggets for breakfast but then I saw that Jimmy Johns had all their sandwhiches BOGO 50% off. So I ordererd an extra turkey, extra tomato, extra lettuce, no mayo on sliced wheat bread for lunch. Then an extra turkey extra tomato ez lettuce unwhich for dinner. So with all that plus the nuggets and protein shake I had for breakfast I'm at 1,105 calories and under my carbs and way over my protein and sodium. I'm not sure what else to eat considering I haven't even eaten the sandwhich yet.

I finally got the last of the opened bag of chips/crackers finshed. I had a bag of pretzel Goldfish, a bag of lemon salt Fritos, and a box of Chicken In a Biskit crackers all opened at one time. This morning I finally finished the box of chicken crackers I had been eating since the 23rd. I might start on my bag of Doritos Igognitos tommorow.

Today I plan on having an unfrosted brown cinnamon Pop Tart. I had opened that box the other day. I tried looking for the pretzel ones but I couldnt find them. So unfrosted brown cinnamon was the closet thing. I also am going to have a cup of crunchy Jif to go. I think I have about 3 or 4 left in that box. Then dinner will be a protein shake and 2 pouches of tuna. I also had a 20oz zero sugar Mountain Dew and a can of Starkist zero sugar orange soda.

I am at 1220 calories, 66 grams of protein, 102 carbs, and 2125 mil of sodium. My sodium has been pretty high these last 2 days so my weight hasn't really moved. But today my sodium is under my goal.

I have 2 opened bags of chips/crackers going and some opened indivudally wrapped boxes of stuff. Today was kind of ok. I had 3 Chobani flips Greek yogurts but I am under my protein goal still. I had a medium iced coffee with skim milk and splenda. I had a serving of Doritos and a serving of Goldfish crackers. I just now had a little cup of Campbells double noodle soup. I drank the broth since the sodium content was not horrible. Dinner will be a pouch of tuna. My carbs is slightly high but my sodium is still ok. If the coffee is correct, it was just a blind guess, I am at 1280 calories.

Ugh I was up to 170 this morning, trying to distract myself from boredom eating

I'm still just hanging around 166-168. I dont actually look bad at this weight though and I'm not that unhappy with how I look. I do want to lose more weight but I'll let it happen when it happens. I dont think I'm eating enough for one thing. Today my calories equal to just about 1200 and that includes coffee.

New Year's resolutions focused on weight loss may actually harm health

Why are you so preoccupied about how often other people weigh themselfs and what their weight loss goals are? Its their own bodies and decisions.

I’m not preoccupied, I’m interested in weight loss and health and recovery. It is completely unhealthy to weigh yourself every day. Psychologically it is not good for you. I’m not saying people need to listen to me and not do it Because I’m the boss. scientifically, research wise, and mental health wise it’s not good. You are already setting yourself up to associate emotion with a number on the scale. You lose weight you feel great you feel up. You gain weight and you start hating yourself or beating yourself up reinforcing Low self image and esteem. I have yet to come across any doctor that specializes in actual weight loss beyond a gimmicks support weighing yourself once a day. Unless you are medically required to for a health reason weighing yourself more than once a day doesn’t support the positive goal someone might have in mind. Am I saying that people who weigh themselves once or more a day aren’t happy and Or positive ? I am not.. I am just saying science and research don’t support that way of looking at things anymore. Just like BMI and weight charts are completely bogus and every person with any kind of education and intellectual ability has debunked them. They have been proven to negatively affect developing middle school and high school kids. They have been proven to miss labeled people as obese or overweight when it does not take into account activity, other health, and also muscle mass.

Why are you asking me if I’m preoccupied with peoples weight loss goals? Am I not supposed to follow this thread or comment in it ? What are the parameters for commenting in these threads?

Because you keep asking the same questions and we or at least I have given you the same answer a number of times.
