Because I ate breakfast at the hotel before heading back home, I delayed the weigh-in until today, Monday the 16th. Normally I would hesitate to weigh after a trip, because I would have gorged myself to the point I gained weight. While I did eat a copious amount of food at the buffet, I decided to have no fear weighing myself this morning.
Weight: 279.8 pounds
- This week -4 pounds
- Total -13.4 pounds
- Starting weight 293.2

While this week was not as amazing a loss as week 1, I’m still happy with the result. I ate lots of food on Saturday and Sunday, along with plenty of snacks and cheese this week. These results are to be expected. I also didn’t desire lossing weight super fast, because I wanted any loose skin to hopefully draw in and adjust naturally.
Meal 1 – Ground pork 8 oz + 4 oz ground chicken + 4 scrambled eggs
Snack – sugar-free electrolyte in water + unsweet tea w/ stevia
Meal 2 – Sirloin steak 1 lb cooked in 1 tbsp butter
Snack – 2 servings pork rinds + 1 serving meat sticks + 1 serving cheese
My 3rd day wanting more food than the past 2 weeks. Soon, a fasting day may be needed to help shrink my desire to eat. Have you ever noticed that you can’t eat as much after a 24 hour fast? My capacity to eat lowers after fasting.
Cravings: Today I wanted a Coke Zero, but it wasn’t available. I got an unsweet tea instead, but all is well.
Energy: Slept well, which I’m grateful for every day I can! Energy sustained all day.
When I feel overwhelmed, I talk to God, and recommit my faith to Him in each situation. I trust in God in all things. He’s there for you in difficult times too!
