    I'm Not At Goal

    So tomorrow will be my 6-month surgiversary. I'm not at my goal weight--I'm about 22 lbs away. When I got the surgery, I told myself I would be at goal at or before 6 months. As far as WHY I'm not at goal? Well, I've pretty much been refusing to follow conventional wisdom--the low carb (under 30g a day) plan. I tried it but the fat content would always send me spiraling out of control with my eating. And the low fat/high protein version of low carb was too difficult (mentally). So I spent a good month or two just splurging on whatever my sleeve could fit--and it turns out, that's just about everything. Finally, around March 15, I started a plan known as the Alternate Day Diet. Basically, the way the plan works is you eat whatever you want every other day. On "up" days, I can eat anything. There are no calorie limits or anything. On the "down" days, I stick with about 500 calories or less--it's easy to do with the sleeve. I keep it simple by just eating lean chicken or fish. Technically, I eat as much as I want on the down days as well; but with the sleeve, it ends up being 500 calories or less because I can only eat about 2.5 oz of protein at a time. The weight loss on this plan is a lot slower, but now that I'm approaching the one-month mark, I find that I'm not as "crazy" when it comes to food anymore. I feel normal, and I really like the plan, despite the slow weight loss. Slow weight loss is better than no weight loss. The bottom line is, I just can't deal with being restricted from foods anymore. I know that if I did a crash diet for the next two weeks, I'd have dramatic results. I could do a liquid diet for a month and maybe get close to goal. But I can't make myself do it. At least, not right now. Maybe in a week or two I'll feel differently. But I have made myself jog every day for quite some time now--20 minutes of jogging in place (with the help of Wii Fit).
