Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability

Still IF'ng... sorry I haven't been around. Some issues at work are preventing me from using this site all that often... and by "some issues" I mean "Someone saying I'm "Blogging" all day... not in "trouble" but I have to chill for a bit.

Still fighting to get under 200. Closest I've been at this point is 200.8 When I eat like an a$$hole, the numbers rise a bit... so, at least I know I can maintain pretty well.

I was the opposite. I mostly ate healthy foods. I love veggies, usually ate those first, hardly ever in any type of sauce. Our meats are usually grilled and I prefer chicken or fish to red meat. I just always ate way too much and honestly had never felt truly full. Not even on Thanksgiving. That's why I loved my restriction.

Interesting! I wonder if that is related to your faulty esophagus issue?

Oh... and I shaved.

And went to a NYE rave in a full UV reflective suit and mask.
Woman in the photo with me is not my wife (not sure who it is really either LOL)

No idea. But it's been much less of a hassle since my throat has been healing up.

Agreed.

Hope you all can bear with me, I'm feeling kind of angst-y today. Also, I appreciate all the regulars here support, so I can share without rubbing people the wrong way.

I'm concerned I keep losing weight ... there I said it ... don't hate me please!

I've lost 7.2 lbs in the last month, 14.4 lbs in 2 months, 24 lbs in 3 months.

Except for 3 days of the January challenge, I haven't been trying at all, other than easy IF, i.e. skipping Breakfast

I don't think I'm too skinny, but I don't want to lose anymore because I don't want to lose my curves. I also just seriously restocked my wardrobe, so that is an investment. I feel like all I need to love my body is plastics to tighten me up. I don't want to be smaller than I am now, just less jiggle-y.

I know the answer is to eat more fat and calories, as @FluffyChix said. But, I'm having a very hard time wrapping my head around that. Trying to eat more goes against everything I have ever done in my life. Logically, I know that is the answer, but revolting at the idea of implementing it.

I don't expect anyone to have the solution for me, I just am glad to be able to put it out there.
