Day 68: Shark Week.

Okay, so my period arrived with a vengeance, so it's possible part of the sudden weight gain is water retention. We'll have to wait and see next week.

Meanwhile, it's been years since my cramps were this bad. Ouch.

Day 67: Weigh-In. Ouch.

176.9. Bummer.

Gotta work harder at it next week, I guess.

Day 66: Saggy.

My clothes still feel the same as always, but my skin feels saggier every day. So I'm allowing myself to feel hopeful about my weigh-in tomorrow. My breasts are definitely hanging lower than they used to, the skin on my upper arms hangs like curtains now, rather than being bulgy. And my stomach pancakes out across my thighs when I sit down. It's not very nice, I'll admit, but it's a good sign, and I'm not about to let it discourage me.

Day 62: Ate Too Much

What it says on the tin. Been eating my feelings for the past two days, and I hope it won't be too long before I find my footing again, because this actually hurts my stomach now. :(

Day 60: Weigh-In.

174.8.

I am now officially weighing less than I've done in maybe two years. Woo!

Also, a kilo off a week? That's actually good progress. Go me. :)

EDIT: Holy fuck, I've suddenly noticed that my shoulders have gone significantly bonier! Wow...

Day 58: My Count May Be Off?

I might not have the day count exactly right, because the timezone this blog is set to is quite behind my own. Maybe I can change the settings or something...

Went to the doctor today and got weighed. His scale said 177.6, but that's okay, since it was both a different scale than my own, and because I was weighed fully clothed after breakfast. Usually I weigh myself naked or in underwear, before my first meal of the day, to get as clean of a weight as I can.

In any case, I wanted a record of my weight for the medical system, in case I end up forced to have the gastric bypass. So far it's going well, and my doctor okayed my approach, and cautioned me not to lose my determination when the weight would inevitably go upwards again, because these things fluctuate. And I was prepared for that, but it was nice to hear it from him too.

Stress is still kicking me off the wagon a few times a week, which is not optimal, but I'm still trying my best. It's all I can do.

Day 58: Weigh-In

175.9.

HOW?!

I mean, not that I'm complaining...

Okay, looking at it reasonably, I guess I still stayed far below my old level of food intake, even though I went over my new levels quite a lot for two days out of seven.
