This week 103.2
Total change +1.2
Two weeks ago I was 103.6 so I think last week was one of those flukes since it bounce right back up the next day.
I have been putting in an effort to eat more. I want to gain weight. I have been this low for a year and while I am happy to be maintaining for the first time I can remember I really thought that I would have gained some weight by now. I just figured that I would have some sort of bounce back, even a pound a month, and I would be about 110 or so by now. I guess it's not going to happen by itself so I am have been eating more. I've been adding in nuts, avocado, sugar free candy and a sugar free hot fudge sundae every day, in addition to what I have already been eating. I haven't been tracking or counting calories because that seems to make me more crazy but if I had to guess I am eating at least 600 to 1000 calories more a day then I was. It's not easy because I still have a lot of restriction and I am trying not to overdo things or push my capacity so I am eating virtually all day. It seems that I eat, wait 30 minutes, drink about 32 oz and then eat again, so I keep my fluids up. I'm going to try keeping this up for a few weeks and see what happens. I hate having to think about food all the time. I've been pretty comfortable with the way I've been eating for the last year but I hate the way I look. There is nothing attractive about being a bag of bones, at least for me. I'm still not touching sugar or gluten but other then that I am really loosening up on my eating. I hope it doesn't come back to bite me but at this point I don't know what else to do.
