Feeling Good For A Change

I can't believe how great I have felt for about a week now. Ever since I suspended my diet I have had more physical and mental energy. No more digestive problems, lethargy or feeling cold all the time. I also seem to sleep better.

Because I don't want to discuss digestive issues in detail I downplay my ongoing problems. I sometimes think I should keep better track of such things. This I know: Fruits, vegetables and yogurt adversely affect my GI system more than potato chips, nachos and cheesecake. Also, lean meats seem to be less agreeable than fattier meats.

I recently talked to someone I haven't talked to for a couple of years. Of course I worked my weight loss into the conversation. 40 lb! Lowest weight in 25 years! She asked, "do you feel better?"

No, I don't feel better! Not when I was having the conversation, anyway. Since then, I abandoned the diet and have felt infinitely better. Of course I regained more than a pound a day during that feel good time.

I want to get down to 200 lb. and then go on a more high energy diet yet to be determined. Tentatively, I will restart the low-cal diet two days from now.

I Put On Weight FAST!!!

Suspending Diet Until After The Holidays

I officially suspended my diet until after the holidays. Too many temptations. Too much socialization.

I once aspired to be a hermit but I learned it was more difficult than I thought. Dieting would be much easier if I was a more solitary animal. Darn primates and their temptations.

Off-Diet December 13 Through 15.

I met some relatives and we ate at a Chili's on Sunday. I don't diet at restaurants. I would rather just stay home.

As of December 15, I still have not gotten back on track,

Food Log: December 11, December 12

Each of these days I had a mid to late evening feeding frenzy. Not just a few bites over the limit...An "oh my goodness why I am I so damn hungry?" kind of moment.
  Not sure why I was so hungry. Well, I know it's because I have been dieting and ignoring my deep hunger and BOOM!

Food Log December 9, 10.

I was forced off-diet on December 9, due to work. I had a Double Whopper Dinner (big size) and since I was off for the day, I enjoyed lasagna and later two tuna sandwiches...Odd, but I seem to have lost a pound amidst the splurge...


I started out on-diet December 10. Orange, black coffee in AM. 8 oz. shrimp with cocktail sauce with one half tomato, followed a half hour later by approximately 2 oz. whole sunflower seeds...Coffee and diet soda in PM...I went off the rails with Chicken Bettencourt at about 6 PM. It was delicious...I have nibbled on strawberry sponge cake since then and put a little cream in my coffee...Sigh.
