Not bad, Not bad for someone trying to navigate their way through this thing called life. My diet is listed as LCHF: Low carb, High fat / Ketogenic Diet. My food logs for the most part for a little while now beg to differ.

I didn't want to change my diet to "My own diet" because in the past when I did, I couldn't re-adjust my true starting weight so I left it as is.

Thinking about "changing my diet" does not mean that I am actually going to jump ship. As a matter of fact, I plan to keep pushing on because yesterday for the first time, I believe I experienced that food craving nirvana that many LCHFers talk about where they feel full with less calories with no energy drop off. I've consumed the same calories as yesterday on prior occasions with no regards to macros just simply focusing on a total calorie number and I remember constantly thinking about food on those days and going to bed with my stomach grumbling. Another intriguing thing about yesterday, was that on the day prior, I was a very active. I got in plenty steps and did heavy weight lifting in the evening. Usually, the day after an active one, I want to eat everything in sight but that wasn't the case. I will keep experimenting. I will keep trying, failing and adjusting.

Another thing I will change is my weekly weigh ins from Thursdays to Mondays. Although, the weekends maybe a time to relax from the stresses of commuting and work, this does not give me an excuse to gobble, gobble, gobble. To thine own self be true.
