Losing too slow?
Nov 19, 2011
Ok, I've heard that I'm losing the weight really slow. I'm not sure if that's true, but I'm pleased. I don't wanna lose too fast and then I can't keep up with toning my body. Anyway, I notice that I lose more pounds when I don't drink protein. I rarely miss, but I was curious to see what happens to my weight. When I drink 75g per day of protein, I lose about 2lbs per week, but I still lose inches. I haven't had protein for about 5 days (i need to buy more) and I have lost 4lbs.I'm also eating whatever I want, except salad. I could order salad for lunch, but I'll never finish it. So, I guess I'll wait until Thanksgiving and then I can get just enough for me. I still choose my choices carefully and I don't over do it. However, I didn't have wls just to eat diet foods. So, when I say I eat what I want...I really mean it. I may only have 2 or 3 bites, and I eat a little more for dinner and maybe again the following morning. So, this could affect how fast or slow I'm losing. I'm only careful about how much sugar or fried foods I eat. Really sweet things make me feel weighed down. I had Orange Chicken w/Steamed Rice for dinner one night. I added sweet n sour and mandarin sauces. I wasn't thinking at all about how sweet it was gonna be. After eating only a few bites, I felt really weird, like I wanted it to come up or come out. Anyway, I ended up falling asleep for about an hour and then felt better. That was my first and last dumping experience. As for fried foods, well, it's just not good for anybody. So, I try to minimize my intake.
So, I'm not gonna worry about how fast or slow I'm losing. I'll worry when the scale stops or goes the other way.
