Struggling now. This is a dangerous time. 86.8kgs

 Friday 2nd June 2023

Weighed this morning and I am 86.8 kgs again.

Yesterday was bloody tough.  I just don't know what's going on.  I didn't have coffee but I was so, so hungry by 1pm.  I really felt awful.  I struggled on until 2pm and then I just had to eat.  And of course once I started then I couldn't stop.  I was nibbling and snacking and eating Ryita and butter and nuts and crisps and then my dinner which was courgette spaghetti.  I felt really bad all afternoon and had to go to bed in the afternoon as I had the most terrible headache.  The headache wouldn't go away even after taking 3 hourly Paracetamol.  I felt so good a few days ago.  I am wondering if it is that I am not drinking enough water although I thought I was.

Even when I woke up this morning I really didn't feel good.  My vision was blurred, I feel very shaky, I had the buzzing in my head and I had the mushy headache again.  I feel miserable and generally unwell.  I wonder if I have covid?  God knows.  I just know I don't feel great.  I am drinking a lot of water and my eyesight has improved by now at 11.30am but I still have a headache and feel very below parr.  My 18 hour window is not up until 2.30pm and I just can't imagine how I'm going to get there.  Mike wants to go for a bike ride but I really don't feel up to it today.  

This is a very dangerous time for me now.  This is where I go 'This is too hard for me.  I can't do this and I am giving up' .  However I know that I will put all the weight back on and feel even more shit if I do.  If I take a day off and eat normally I know that when I weigh tomorrow I will be at least 87.8 and more likely 88kgs and I don't want to go back there.

I can do this if I am sensible.  I will drink at least another 2 litres of water both fizzy and still before 2.30pm.  I will find something to occupy my mind and maybe read some more of The Kindness Method.

I need to plan better for eating when I end my fast.  I must get some plain yoghurt to have with some fruit as I am craving sweet things.  I must get some sausages and ham and things to pick at when I cannot resist the urge to eat.  I must get some more chicken breasts to have for meals and also some nice steaks.  Keto is good for me and I do well on it usually.  

I am not going to give up, I am going to manage my thinking and have a vision of how this will go.  It is just one day of feeling under the weather, not the end of the world.

I will update this later and make myself accountable. 

UPDATE

So it's 9pm and it's been a strange day.  I felt really very unwell this morning as I described above and there is no doubt I was very dehydrated.  I have drunk quite a lot throughout the day and really been quite lazy but as the day progressed I began to feel much better.  Let this be a lesson to me.  I must drink more water.  I am going to find out a 5litre bottle tomorrow and put it in the fridge and that will be my aim.  I still have a litre to go this evening but I really want to avoid a repeat.

I managed to fast for 18 hours and then ate some chicken and salad and some crispbreads.  I had a couple of handfuls of nuts whilst I was getting dinner and then I had pork steaks in a cream sauce with about a tablespoon of mash and courgettes and sweetcorn.  I did have an ice cream for pudding.  I'll count up some calories but the proof will be in the scales in the morning.

Cooler day. 84.6kgs

 Friday 84.6kgs 84.6 is good.  It's only 100g but it's much better than 100g up! Yesterday was not a bad day.  I drank bone broth and just ate in the evening. I had a steak and some green beans and a piece of melon and a few squares (for few read too many) of chocolate.  So today I am going to eat 2 meals.  Late lunch and dinner.  I will probably have sardines and eggs for lunch and for dinner it is steak.  I probably wont have anything with the steak except maybe some salad. I was really not that hungry at dinner time last night.  I have this mental block where if there is food in the fridge that might spoil and maybe I had half a plan that if I was going to eat I would eat whatever that thing is in the fridge then I have to eat it.  Even if I was thinking I could do a ADF I would have a plan that if I was desperate then I would eat ................. (insert food of choice).  So by the time I get to dinner time when I should just carry ...

Back to basics with updates 85.3kgs

 Monday 85.3kgs So I am not doing too well right now.  Yesterday was totally out of control and I broke my fast after only 16 hours because I was so hungry.  Once I started eating I just couldn't stop.  I even ate a bloody Oreo muffin.  WTF was that about?  I ate several digestive biscuits during the day.  I didn't feel needy, I didn't feel desperate, I just wanted them and so I ate them.  I never stopped eating.  I ate peanuts, I ate crisps, I ate chocolate.  I ate 2 pork chops for my dinner and I was not at all hungry and had to force them down but I wanted to eat them. I just don't understand what is going on with my head and my need to keep bloody eating. Just stuffing crap into my mouth like a big fat greedy pig.  Maybe I should hold that image.  The big fat greedy pig with my face stuffing the food in.  Getting up to the trough and shovelling it all in.  That was me yesterday.  I keep using the excuse that ...

Very late in the day ... no weigh

 Tuesday, but really Wednesday.  No weigh today Today I fasted for quite a long time.  I did about 24 hours but I did have a slice of ham at about 22 hours to keep me going.  I'm not too bothered about the hours to be honest.  I just fasted with a little bit of help and it was easy.  I didn't drink a lot of water nor have loads of salt although I wanted them.  I went into town and toilets are not easy so I didn't drink much. I am very stressed right now and I am surprised that in view of that I didn't eat.  It just shows that I can do it.   I have a new pig.  I just imagine this big fat greedy guts stuffing her face.  Her fat piggy face. She is a glutton and stuffs food in and it is revolting to watch.  Well that is my pig.  I keep picturing her stuffing her fat mouth at the trough.  I need to get her under control and back into her pen.  I keep refining the image and so when my stressed thoughts come I try ...
