Plateau
I seem to have hit a plateau. I am searching for ways to get past it. It looks like I need to eat more for a few days and not let myself get hungry.
Now that I think of it, when this started I wasn’t eating very much at all and skipped lunch and my afternoon snacks because we were either Christmas shopping or house shopping.
I have gained and lost about 2 pounds for 2 weeks now. I thought this might be over yesterday when the scales hit 190.6 but apparently not. Today I am 191.
Calories
It is 11am and I still haven’t eaten today, now I learn that is a mistake. I shouldn’t go without food for more than 3 hours. So, for the next few days I will try that. I will also increase my calories to 1200/1300. That might be hard to do for me. I really like eating 1000 calories a day. It is so easy to do. Eating a bigger dinner or lunch will just make me feel bloated again. Thinking about eating a 400 calorie lunch makes me feel bloated already. I can’t even think about putting that much food in my body at dinner time. So it will have to be in snacks and the snacks have to be good CR food. I think more planning on this and more reading. Looks like I have a few projects for today.
Late Breakfast
Right now I am going to have my OJ and ground Flax, and Lentil soup, about 400 calories. Good start for my day.
I am still taking the digestive enzymes. I plan on always taking them.
Goal
I have decided on a new goal. It is something I have been wanting to do and think about constantly. I want some work done on my face. Maybe a light chemical peel and some injections in facial folds. For now that is my goal at 180 and I would like that done before spring. Hopefully I will be 180 in Feb. I don’t have many wrinkles and they aren’t deep but I do have some dark pigment on my face and those deep, ugly folds around my mouth and cheeks. Even getting them reduced by half would make me happy. So, that is my new goal. 180 in Feb. and a trip to the dermatologist.
