I forgot to mention... I signed up for a weight loss competition where I work. I don't expect to win but I'm hoping the added visibility will keep me accountable. And, if I do win, HUZZAH!

Weight after 36 hour fast. I feel fine, had a slight headache last night, nothing terrible, didn't even take advil. It was a little awkward sitting at dinner with my husband and step son while they ate. It's still important to me that we have that time together, even if I'm not eating. Plus, I get to dominate the conversation because I don't have food in my mouth, rofl! I explained to them how I was experimenting with small fasts to see if it would improve my health and that I would stop doing it if it didn't help or if it was harmful.
EDIT: I got almost 8 hours of sleep last night! Progress.

losing 4.6 lb a week

My weight is up a bit today but I'm choosing not to record it because these fluctuations from day to day aren't really helpful to assess overall progress. Based on what I read recently, I'm trying out a different approach to IF. I had been fasting every day for 16 hours and I'm going to try out a 36 hour fast 2x a week to see if that has better benefits. On the eating front, I am continuing to integrate healthier options and drink more water, and get more SLEEP. I got a spiralizer and I can't wait to try "zoodles", hehe.

I finished The Obesity Code. Yay, I love happy endings! Take aways: I'm going to experiment with 24-36 hour fasts 2x a week. Also, cutting out added sugar as much as can be reasonably done. And... I bought these water bottles that have fruit infusers. I know it's kind of gimmicky, but my husband LOVES it and has pretty much cut all soda, cold turkey. I love little changes that are easy and have a big impact. We are all drinking more water and having fun doing it.

gaining 0.3 lb a week

I am feeling somewhat melancholy about weight loss and wellness in general. I look back at all the times I lost a bunch of weight and how happy I was and how I thought, "this is it!" I'm finally on track. And then next thing you know, I go from maintaining to gaining and I'm back where I started. To be fair, I've always been very impatient and my go-to is extreme diets that cannot be maintained forever. I always used to say, "that's fine, I just need to get down to x weight and _then_ I can find a WOE that is sustainable." That clearly is not working out for me. So... we try the slow and sustainable route from the outset this time. But I still need to manage the part of my brain that wants what it wants RIGHT NOW!, whether that be a slice of warm, freshly-made bread, or to get into the next size down by the weekend.
So, when I see people rejoicing over hitting a milestone, I want to be happy for them, but, the hardened resigned side of me is always whispering, "how long will it last?"
Looks like I still have some work to do in the area of gratefulness, of being present, of accepting things as they are and loving myself at every size. I am my own worst critic. Today I am shaking off this cynicism and standing in a new way of thinking. I am beautiful, brilliant, kind and UNSTOPPABLE!
