Juzo Okita's Journal, 27 April 2024

I missed my weigh-in last week because I was not able to weigh in first thing in the morning on Saturday, which is typically what I do so I can keep my weight consistent. also, I felt like I was retaining water, and I knew that it would probably be discouraging, so I decided to skip a week. it looks like I'm moving in the right direction, but for the amount of work I've put in, it's discouraging that I've only lost 1.2 lb in 2 weeks. but at the same time, I'm glad that I'm continuing to move towards my goal. I've actually had a few meetings downtown at our headquarters due to a modernization project that we are working on and those meetings are always catered. it was extremely difficult for me to stick to my diet and eat what I had packed for myself when faced with the excellent spread that they put out for our catered lunches. in addition to that of course was also turning down the donuts and cookies and danishes that they provided in the morning while eating my banana and drinking my protein shake. thankfully they didn't have cannolis because that would have broken me. but thankfully I was able to resist everything and stick to it all week. I no it might sound completely irrational though but it was hard because it's emotionally taxing for me. I have an unhealthy emotional attachment to food and I genuinely feel cheated and my feelings get hurt when other people are having delicious food and I can't partake. I know that it sounds absolutely ridiculous and I feel foolish even admitting it. but it does take a toll. I feel somewhat Vindicated now that the scale is lower than it was the last time I weighed in.
272.4 lb Lost so far: 55.4 lb.    Still to go: 52.4 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Don’t give up! It’s all worth it in the end.

I feel the exact same way about watching others indulge while I’m beside them counting my almonds to stick to a serving size 😩 it really does not feel fair. So don’t tell yourself that you’re being ridiculous, I think you’re feeling exactly the way that you should!

In those situations I have to remind myself that I've already eaten far more than my fair share... I'm just taking a pause to give them a pity chance to catch up.

Nice drop!

There's something empowering when we can say to ourselves that we're doing exactly what we want for ourselves and would rather say no thanks and find something else to do rather than feel deprived! Strong is happy and vice versa. But not perfect at all times. ;-)

You’re doing great and try to look at the times you resisted temptation as victory’s! You got this!

Thanks for the support! People who aren't struggling to lose weight I don't think understand it. I know I'm better off for having not indulged which is why I don't understand why I feel the way I do. Rationally I know I made the right choice but it doesn't change the fact that I feel emotionally hurt by it! That's why I feel ridiculous cuz I know I'm doing the right thing. And I'm unused to that because in every other circumstance when I know that I am doing the right thing I don't feel hurt by it. Only when I don't eat delicious fattening food that everybody else is having that I really want, does it actually emotionally hurt me. I just have to remind myself that every pound that I'm not carrying makes it easier for me to climb Hills on my bike.😆
