gaining 0.4 lb a week
09 March 2014
So I have to admit that I am walking a very fine line between determination to get back on track and feeling totally hopeless. There are no excuses, the food is my choice and for the last couple of weeks I chose poorly - on one or two occasions absolutely deliberately so. It feels like any time I start to make some headway the first emotional trip-up and I deliberately set out to sabotage myself, destroying weeks of hard work and discipline in a matter of days.
The funny thing is that when I sit back and go over it, not one indulgence or otherwise crappy choice tastes worth it. It really doesn't, I've gone low to no sugar for so long that processed sweets are overwhelming and don't give me the same pleasure. Processed carbs wreck my stomach for hours. I know it and I still do it.
Our snow and ice is finally clearing out, but now my foot is having serious issues so even my activity is restricted.
I know what works for me, I just need to do it - and stick to it and realize that nothing from my past habits tastes as good as I feel when I'm doing it right.
Time to try again.

gaining 2.4 lb a week
14 February 2014
I hate that when I reset the diet-type that it won't let me input my previous start weight. With this weigh-in I am down 15 lbs since Jan 9. I do not know everything, but after a lifetime of dealing with this there are a few truths that I accept.
- Weight loss or maintenance is as individual as the snowflakes currently piled in mammoth amounts in my yard. There are concepts that work across the board but the reality is that the factors of age, gender, genetics and metabolism all play a significant role.
- The concept of CICO (calories in - calories out) is simply not a hard and fast rule. All you have to do is read the tortured posts of people here who are trying to operate at half their RDI and making no progress to understand that. Using the SAME RDI one year ago, and religiously adhering to the points system in WW - I dropped six lbs and stalled completely. After months of research and meeting with my doctor I changed the quality of the content of that RDI and I am losing comfortably and steadily with no outrageous bouts of hunger or misery.
- I cannot define myself by any particular regime, I take the parts that work from several. In general I am low carb, whole foods and avoid sugar. I keep my protein around 110 and my net carb count less than 50 and that seems to work. Fats don't bother me in the least and since I ditched WW and went back to whole foods and began eating fats again my cholesterol and triglycerides absolutely improved. I use Paleo resources for most of my recipes for myself and my family because they taste good and the ingredients work for me, but I do not cut out dairy completely.
- I put real cream in my coffee. So there.
