Day 7: 1200 total calories today but 120 carbs. I’m thinking I did pretty well, but those bananas are killing me. I just never knew bananas had so many carbs in them.
I’m still trying to grasp how I can maintain my weight at 3500 cal and how my recommended daily intake is around 2800 to lose weight somewhat quickly but I’ve had a few 1200 calorie days and haven’t felt misery from hunger. I’m seriously a dieting novice.
I’m also wondering where these crazy cravings that I am used to having have been. I literally have all of the free junk food I could ever want around me at work. We put bowls of chips, sugar filled snacks, cheese or peanut butter crackers, etc. out for our employees and free Dr. Pepper and Cokes in the refrigerator. I haven’t touched any of them. I guess it’s because I am losing weight with some lofty goals in mind than my last 2-3 diet attempts.
I still need to find a scale to weigh myself again. I weighed myself on a certified scale about nine days ago at a shipping dock. I’d like to know how much I’ve lost. I guess I need to get online and read some reviews on good scales to buy for in home use. It seems that once you get over 300 pounds you never know what you might get in terms of quality. I do know that my pants are already quite loose, and I have had to adjust my belt another notch. That is a good feeling except for when I start pondering the cost of some new clothes for work, etc.
My sweet wife has been looking for low carb recipes with medium protein amounts and decent calories totals. It’s not easy getting the mix right, it seems. But searching is half the fun.
7-days in and I truly feel encouraged, thankful, and sometimes hungry. Overall I feel physically and mentally great. God is good.
