I want to continue weighing in each morning just to study my data. You know, see what happens when I follow perfectly and when I mess up. Hopefully I'll get some clues as to how my body processes certain foods, exercises, etc.
Weigh-in:
254.9 lb
lost so far:
6.1 lb
still to go:
69.9 lb
Diet followed reasonably well

First day attempting keto. Bit of a false start. I never knew just how much cravings affected how I ate until now.

Today, I learned that tofu can taste good. So that was interesting. And I actually haven't really craved anything now that I think about it.
To be fair, I've been eating whatever I wanted. I finished off some bread pudding for breakfast and I had sweet potato fries and sweet tea for lunch. I haven't been all that worrisome today, and maybe that has helped?
I think that I'm seeing a trend of "the more you worry about it, the more likely it is to happen". So maybe if I can stay out of my head, there really is nowhere but up from here! My calorie count looks alright, and I haven't hit the carb cap yet... sure I've eaten too much sugar, but eh, it's Friday. Happy Friday everyone! I think I may leave work a little early today if I can get all my tasks done.

So... I definitely crave carbs, but only when I get really hungry. Yesterday I tried focusing more on fat and protein and I really was more content than usual. I didn't much think of food at all... until I ran out of healthy things to eat. My goal was to eat more fat and protein than carbs, but I kinda ran out of those two things by the middle of the day... And when I got hungry, well I ate what was around. Bread and fruit. Albeit those aren't terrible things to eat, but it did blast my numbers to kingdom come.
It was a simple experiment. It taught me something so I'll count it a win.

Alrighty then, so cravings journal... I already knew this wasn't going to be fun.
Yesterday, July 8th... I had planned to do a simple protein shake for dinner. It was going to be awesome and I was going to hit my daily caloric intake -- something I consistently fail at-- right on the head! But on the drive home to do this great thing... I thought about Wendy's. I want to blame advertising. I really do, but I already know it's because I have the unfortunate combo of 0- impulse control and a one-track mind. I thought it... therefore it must be. Or I will run myself mentally ragged until such thing exists in my life. Therefore, cutting out the middle man of mental torture, I got Wendy's. And I ate it... It was as unsatisfying as it was tasty. Have you ever eaten something that tasted fine, but the back of your head was blaring "Well... no nutritional value here... good job fueling, human". That was the sensation. Yet, I ate, because I'd bought it and heck if I waste money like that. It was as if the food itself was a punishment. I refused to make myself something else. So I ate and was unsatisfied.
This morning. I woke up with such things on my mind. If I am master of one thing, it's most definitely self-deprecation. Always have been. It makes me wonder if I'm an emotional eater? I wouldn't even know what emotion to focus on. Maybe anxiety? Anxiety and I have a history after all. I only stopped doggedly biting my nails a year ago after all. Any ways, this morning July 9th I didn't want to think about making breakfast. I didn't much want to go to work. I only got 7 hours of sleep, which I know may be a lot for some, but is a little for me. So I got coffee at Dunkin with almond milk and hazelnut syrup. While there I figured I might as well get food-like something. So BEC crossaint it was. I love breakfast food most of all. My dietician says I like calorically-dense foods. And so that kind of lines up. Sadly, I feel most nutritional satisfaction when I proteins and fats above blessed bread and carbs. But I figure... I'll try and hack out my protein/fat ratios later in the day. Even though I had made plans for a good protein rich breakfast of my own making.
I guess the real summary of this entry is that I seem to have good intentions, but lack follow through? How does one increase follow through? I dunno. Most often I hear "just do it". I wonder if Nike gets a nickel every time someone says that? In any case, that has never been a good phrase for me. I overthink things chronically. I've never "just done" anything even if it may have looked like I did. A lot of thought went into the action.. always. Unless.. you know it's like unconscious: going to the bathroom or.. No, no that too. Everything. I overthink everything. But I know that's not good, and I know it in part is my own built-in excuse mechanism. If I think about something long enough, I just won't do it. I've gotten out of doing a lot of stuff because of it, which was probably satisfying at the time. But now that I actually really REALLY want to do something, it's nothing but an Achilles heel. And if I'm not mistaken that got him killed...
So I'm thinking-- ever, always-- this overthinking thing needs to be addressed before I'll make any real headway in this journey.
