Rebel's Diary

Weigh in day........
Not good news.. Only lost one pound over the last 2 weeks. With only 3 pounds lost in a month. Since i started seeing the nutritionist my weight loss has all but stopped.
 
3 pounds lost in a month isn´t bad, although I can imagine that it doesn´t look like that from your perspective. Especially after having got used to monster losses! Problem is: those monster losses primed your body to save as much energy as it can. I still think you´ll do well to stick to the healthy, slow way. Have you spoken to your GP about the slower loss? Maybe she can either put your mind at ease or come up with a healthy alternative that won´t kill your chances to keep off the amazing amount of weight you´ve already lost. Never forget that >95% of people who lose a significant amount of weight put it back on. Make sure you become that white raven which doesn´t.
 
Breakfast- Bacon and eggs. (500 Calories)

Yea i did talk to her. She thinks it's because of my carb sensitivity. The way she explained it to me was if you have 2 people of the same weight trying to drop pounds, the one with the CS will have a harder time. It has something to do with the way you body decides to store or burn the carbs you have taken in. She told me she thought this might happen when i told her the nutritionist wanted me to shoot for up to 2800 calories a day. She told me the nutritionist wasnt wrong because if everything was normal that would put me at a 2- 3 pound loss per week. With CS she thinks the body needs more of a push to lose weight. That's why she had recommended about 1500 calories a day. She told me to talk to the nutritionist and let her know whats going on.

:) Havent really tried. Im sure i would if i really hammered some down. With beer i havent really noticed much. I had a glass of absinthe awhile back and it hit me pretty hard. It felt like i had three or four rather than just the one.

At a Wake today for a friends son. Not so much food but snacking and drinking most of the day.
Hell sometimes life just gets in the way of eating right.
But anyhow it is what it is.......
 
Life does get in the way. Showing support for your friend is a valuable detour. Many condolences Rebel to your friend. I don't want to imagine how I would feel losing one of our sons xo

Yea its a tough time. He was diagnosed with late onset schizophrenia. He quit taking his meds and didnt tell anyone and i guess it got to be too much for him. Death is a part of life but when someone is with you then suddenly gone it seems to make it 10x worse.
 
That is very sad. Suicide has far-reaching ripples of sadness that never really go away. It always seems like a waste & the "what ifs" are in the back of your mind forever. Occasionally I still wonder how my brother's life may have turned out.....if only..
 
Sorry rebel - lost my brother in law a few years back the same way. Glad you can be there for your friend. The world can seem too much but it's so sad to think of what they'll miss :(
