Whatcha eating today VSGers? Sunday, July 16, 2017

Sometimes I wish I had more historical data regarding my weight. I.e., from elementary and middle school. The first weight I remember being was 180 in high school, but I've been obese at least since third grade which is when most of my memories start. The reason I'm curious today is that, today, for the first time that I can remember, the left two digits on the scale were 14. When was it that this was last true? I was wearing a size 14 jean in third grade (don't ask why I remember that factoid) so I wouldn't be surprised if I already weighed 140+ by that point. (I was the tallest kid in my class until 3rd grade, since I reached my max height of 5'4" fairly young. But then I stayed there and everyone else kept getting taller!)

I've said this too! I remember stepping on the scale the day I was diagnosed with diabetes at 13 and being 168lbs. I have no data prior to that. There is a girl next door who is 9 or 10 and overweight (but I'd say no obese) and my 11 year old me she weighs 120lbs. It's baffling to me I weigh only 25lbs more than her.

Today, while out with friends, we got on the topic of Ren Faire garb and my friend made a comment like "I can't imagine you're planning on getting smaller?" (Since I had said I'm waiting to buy new garb until 2018.) And I was pleased, shocked, surprised, etc, etc. So I changed the subject :P

Please can I ask how far out you are ? this seems mostly puree/soft food stage is it?

I am 10 months out, but I've been in a stall for over three weeks so I'm trying to see if going back to a mostly liquid diet for about 3 days will help kick start my loss again. Seems to be working cause I was down this morning.

We stayed up at camp last night, where there is no cell signal or internet connection. Today we took the kids to a fishing derby, where there was also no cell/data. So! I'm just getting home. I've been very low on calories/protein so far today. I had my normal yogurt for breakfast, but haven't had access to much else so I'm just eating lunch.

Hunger certainly isn't an emergency, but when coupled with a bad mood (and I'm in a pretty terrible mood today) it's not great.

Do you guys ever struggle with your families eating food you bought for yourself because they just assume since your portions are so small, that you aren't eating it? That has happened to me twice in the last day. It's become a pet peeve of mine and when I point it out it doesn't over well either.

B: Dannon L&F w/ PB2

L: Egg, hot sauce, cheese and sour cream

D: Boneless, Skinless chicken breast w/ BBQ sauce

S: Premier Protein and Coffee

E: Lots of walking for the derby today. I'm still so sore from working out on Friday!

Would it help if you do what my mom did? When we went camping, she put her stuff (she was always on a diet) in either a Tupperware or plastic bag labeled "MOM ONLY! IF YOU TOUCH THIS, YOU DIE!" on it! lol It worked for us!
