A Bit of a Plateau

I seem to have hit my first plateau. I also seem to be the only person worried about it. I only lost two pounds in the past week which I guess is better than gaining weight or better than none at all. I'll take it but it cost me about $70 a pound! Fresh Ontario peaches are in the grocery stores right now and I love peaches. I can have three servings of fruit a day and so I had 3 peaches last Saturday and two on Sunday. It stopped my ketosis so I was stripped of my fruits for two days. I am now back to grapefruit and apples. I may have one peach on the weekend and I am going to enjoy it! I am still very pleased. I am wearing a shirt and sweater that did not fit me a few weeks ago and this will be the last time I can wear the pants I have on as they are just too big.

Encouraging Results

I continue to get encouraging results. I have also made some other small changes which are showing up as weight loss. Of course my body is bruised from all the vitamin B shots but as no one but me and the nurses will ever see them, that is ok with me. One of the things I have done, is cut out my egg yolks. OK, I still have about a half yolk but that is about it. Just enough to flavour my egg salad. That should save me some cholesterol and some calories every day as I like eggs on melba toast for breakfast. I am also trying to eliminate the diet coke, but that may be more difficult.

Still Working

Well I am in week 5 of this very strict diet and I have lost 17 pounds. I am sticking to it and it is working, albeit a bit slower than the commercials promise. I think it is because I have so very much to lose and I am therefore allowed more food than the average person who has a smaller amount to lose. Once I get to a certain weight, they will cut me back to the "normal" portions. I am not suffering and have been able to kill my cravings by telling myself that it costs me $140.00 a week so cheating is not an option. Even if I eat a bit more veg or protein, it shows up as less of a loss than I could have had. I am in this for the long haul. I feel better than I have in a long time and finally after months of pain, my plantar faciitis is almost gone.

Not Bad!

Well, well, well...In 4 days I lost 4 pounds which is remarkable considering I have been unable to budge any weight for months. I think the secret is the vitamin B6 and B12 injections that I am getting every other day.

Last Ditch Effort

A few days ago after consulting with others who have done it, I signed up with a famous diet clinic to help me on my way. It will probably end up costing me a fortune but I have been saving just for this. I start the strict plan today. I can't fail at this as it is costing me about $140 a week.

Visualization

I am trying "visualization." This is a method that has been around for a long time. It is regaining popularity with books like The Secret and The Gabriel Method. Basically you think yourself thin and visualize yourself as a thinner person. It can't hurt to try it. I bought the Wii and the Fit. It is great fun.

Last Day with Carbs

Another month of self-loathing. Yesterday was my birthday and I feel like shit. My feet are sore so I did not want to go anywhere for dinner. Instead I had my husband go out for fish and chips. I told him I didn't want them any more after yesterday. Today is family birthday day at my Dad's. We will have mine, both my sisters and my sister in law's birthday today. This is good because I will not be presented with an opportunity for cake for awhile. This is it. I will be on a diet tomorrow and I will not stop. As the feet are still an issue, I will have to find another way to exercise.
