I'm eating a moderate amount of carbs and eating around 2000 calories a day for now. Started doing that four days ago. Hopefully, I will lose enough that way to give me the energy and ease my back enough that I can do housework and am able to get my kitchen in order so I can use the stove. Right now all I can use is the microwave so it's pretty limiting.
I've put 500 for my starting weight but really I don't know what I weigh. The last time I weighed, I was around 480 but that was 9 months to a year ago. Before that, I was over 500 (the scale only weighed to 500) but I had lost twenty to twenty five pounds. I know I am not more than 500 because the clothes I have still fit the same. I may be as low as 470 but I really have no idea. When you are this heavy, your weight can fluctuate up or down 10 or more pounds on any given day.
As I wrote up there, I started eating a moderate amount of carbs and eating around 2000 calories a day four days ago. I'm certain I am losing weight because that is at most just half the calories and 1/3 or less of the carbs I have been eating over the past few years.
In 2003, I was 400 pounds. In a year's time, restricting my carbs, I lost 100 pounds or more. Then I got pregnant and the nutritionist said I would harm my baby if I continued to low carb through my pregnancy. My head didn't believe that but the rest of me was so afraid of doing something wrong to him that I started eating carbs again. I am highly insulin resistant and have a lot of carb triggers so that was a bad decision on my part.
My son was born 2005 and I was back up to 370 or so. Things were incredibly stressful in my life and I lived with someone who loved carbs and I pretty much gave up for a long time, especially after my (now) ex and I split up in 2007. That is when I put on the next 100 pounds. I was deeply depressed and unable to take care of my house or even me in some instances.
I have a debilitating back problem with chronic pain. The extra weight makes it worse I'm sure. There is very little I can do physically right now. My kitchen is a mess and I have no pans and stuff now and I need to lose weight to be able to clean it up and start to be able to cook again. After I do that, I can start eating eggs for breakfast instead of the special k.
I really hope I get healthier and stay that way this time. I am getting too old to keep starting over again.
