Gloating.. I rock!

Welp I haven't been very active on the boards the last couple of days.  So I thought I'd drop in and tell you guys how awesome I am.  If you all remember I had a wedding to go to this past Saturday. Well I brought a change of clothes and one of the shirts I brought was a shirt I bought back in January. It didn't fit when I bought it despite it being a 3X. I guess they forgot to make the belly part 5X like Wal-Mart does. :P  So anyways, I tried it on at the wedding and it was still pretty tight around the belly.  (I had brought a backup in case that happened.) So on Wednesday I went out to Bojangles for all you can eat fried chicken. I devoured 8 yummy pieces without skin and the breading.  Woohoo!!  I had decided to make Wednesday my splurge day.  Welp, I went all out and after lunch I got me a butterfinger blizzard with EXTRA butterfinger.  It was a medium and it was soooo friggin good.  About 20 mins after consuming all that goodness I was lightheaded and shaky feeling. Talk about an insulin roller coaster!  About 30 mins later I fell asleep at my desk.  I will *NOT* be having any sugar like that for quite some time!  I'll stick to my sugar-free cheesecake for my sweets! lol  WOW!  Anyways so this I was curious to see how my body reacted over the next few days. I immediately went back to Atkins induction that night and have been doing it since. Last night, Thursday, I checked my urine and I'm right back in heavy ketosis. Boy I burn my glucose supply quick!  I expected that I would gain some weight with what I ate too. But guess what. I haven't gained any weight.  So anyways back to the shirt. I tried that shirt on this morning and that mofo fits NICE! When I sit down it's a bit tight on the belly but not unbearable. I decided to take it off and use it as my measuring device. (I'm also measuring myself but this sends it home.) All of my pants are falling off of me and I plan to go to the store this weekend to get some more clothes.  I haven't lost any physical weight but my fat is shrinking! My energy level is through the roof and I feel freaking fabulous! Still hanging in there at 286! (288 at doc's)

Chris.. frankly I'm concerned...  not telling you you're wrong.. not telling you that you're a bad boy or anything...  just concerned about booboo kinda fat in that fried chicken... skin good, grease no good.. yanno?  You're gonna lose weight either way.. I'm just hoping for the healthiest way possible..     You have a good little appetite!  Eight pieces!  mama mia.. I'd be   GROSS! I haven't gone that off the deep end with sugar yet.. well.. I'm protecting something besides my appetite.. so I couldn't, but wow.. such a reaction!  You crashed BIG time!  That's kinda like how I felt constantly before I got the glucose under control.   I'm glad you feel victorious...  I want you to be happy, healthy and not hungry!  :) Ok.. mama mode off.

:)  It was a splurge day.  I'm giving myself 1 a month to have whatever I want regardless if it throws me out of ketosis or not.  Quite frankly I disliked how I felt afterward from all that chicken.  They were pretty small pieces though but still it was a lot! heheh Oh yeah! It was a super crash!  Can you imagine if I hadn't eaten all that chicken how I would've handled that sugar?  I, too, felt like that a lot before switching to Atkins. Only now the feeling is exacerbated because I'm not used to feeling it and with it being once in a blue moon the effects are worsened. Hell last night I forgot to eat dinner! I was so busy playing with my yard toys I forgot all about it. It was 9:30 when I realized, Hey I didn't eat dinner and I'm hungry. :)

"Hell last night I forgot to eat dinner!" Yes.. this happens to me frequently.. but during the day.  I won't eat before working out cause a good workout has me running to vomit... so by the time I get home I get busy with this or that then 3:30 or 4:00 shows up and I say "wow.. I think I'm hungry".  It's hard, but we shouldn't go more than 5 hours without something to eat.

Yeah it is hard sometimes.  I remember saying a couple days ago that I was irritated that I had to stop and eat because I didn't want to waste time doing it. Now if that isn't a WOW moment!  I was working in the garage I think..

You DEW RAWK, DEWD!  I laughed my ass off when i read about wallywolrd sizing.....ha haha You are so funny. I am glad the butterfinger knocked your lights out, too.

Lol, its true!! Wal-mart sizes are bigger!  they know that people who shop there are pear shaped!

Seems like your mood and energy has been great since you've been on Atkins.  Usually when you try and change your eating habits it's hard to get used to.  Good for you. I did notice a sticker on the capri pants at Walmart that said something about new sizing.  I really don't like that though because you won't know if it's you getting smaller or they're just making the clothes bigger.  I guess with so many overweight people in the world today it is necessary to start carrying larger sizes, but just size them correctly.  We should know by the scale anyway.  Have a great weekend, skinny!

I wonder what this new sizing is?  Hell my walmart clothes have always fit that way! :P

I've been wondering what Wallyworld was--it's Walmart????
