Foods-
1 can of beans in tomato sauce
1 piece of leftover frittata
1 vanilla soymilk

Weight -
didn't do

Exercise -
none
 
That looks like a much better day. Good work getting right back on track!
 
Foods- I already know what I am having today later
2 cups homemade soup (have to eat the rest
it can't stay out of the freezer too long)
1 nutritional drink

Weight - up a bit not exactly sure why
but I have to make sure it's not going to
keep going up. So cutting out the 2nd meal.
there's only one way to not gain weight
(other than med. influences) and that's
less food.
For me anyway since exercise is nearly
a non option.

Exercise -
none and likely not til Tues as Mon
will be shopping.
Can't do on the spot cause need my music
and can't play it but in the room being used.
 
2 cups is too filling but
if I split it then I have to
have 2 needles which means
buying more needle tips.
O and each needle has to be
at least 4 hours apart.

So I either just eat 1 cup of food
a day or be stuffed and bloated
on 2 together. And 3 is horrible.


I can't think of a 3rd option?

Me neither, unless you can eat those two cups slowly enough to give your stomach time to pass it all on. For me small spoonfuls and eating slowly do help at least a bit.
 
I had an idea that might work
if I had the food here. Sometimes I do.
Maybe a cup of cottage cheese or
sugar free yogurt when they are on
sale. Later at night have it. I don't usually
need insulin for those.
That way it's the 1 cup at a time.

The biggest problem is
that that amount isn't going
to be enough calories.
When I had teeth I could eat
a cup of nuts or something higher
in calories.
So really the cups need to be for
no teeth and higher calorie.
At least one of them.
I'm not sure how to do that.
 
I guess that bad day the other day
isn't really allowable.
It's screwed with my weight.
It's slowly creeping up.
I don't know what to do now.
I've never been able to keep any
losses off.
 
That one day did screw up a couple of days but if you get back to what you were doing before the scale WILL go down again. You can't break the laws of thermodynamics. Telling yourself you can't do it makes things so much harder and you deserve better.
 
I believe I've figured it out.
The medication change.
I didn't want to blame that
so I didn't right away but
it's making me ravenous
like it did before.
There isn't one to switch to.
They all seem to do it.
There's nothing that I know
of to fight medication effects.
 
Yesterdays food-
2 slices of pizza broken into
pieces put in 2 cups of soup
1.7 cups of canned chili
1 nutritional drink

I don't doubt that's the case and it sucks to be hungry all the time. But what's making you gain weight is still the food you eat, not the medication itself. And I assume the more weight you gain, the more meds you'll need, right? And your stomach feels horrible after you overeat? Then maybe feeling ravenous without gaining weight is better than feeling horrible, spending more money on food, and gaining weight on top of that. It's easy for me to talk, of course, but I know when my stomach acts up (which it does often) I much prefer being hungry to being sick.
 
Foods-
2 cups lentil soup
1/2 cup cheese in to melt
while soups hot ( I put cheese in as
a form of fat and protein)

Weight -
253.6
( A great recovery?
Idk what happened)
 
Whatever happened I'm glad to see it. Looks like the good days are still outweighing (pun not intended) the bad ones. Go you!
 
1.7 cups canned chili
1 cup 4% cottage cheese
1 nutritional drink (1 cup size)

I guess the only goal now is
to get to 200 lbs and go from
there.
 
I think you were increasing the amount of songs quite quickly. Maybe go back to 5, see how that goes, and only increase by one every other week?
