P.S. I lost some weight

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:49:17 -0500

BTW, I lost some weight.

I’m down to 183 lbs now. 4 lbs more and I’ll no longer be obese!!!

Starving since yesterday

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:48:20 -0500

Well people,I’m on an official crash diet. Plan is to lose about 4.5 lbs by the end of this week. For that, I intend to have a series of extremely low calorie days.

I’m living the first one. As of now, its been 24 hours since I had something solid, and only 2 cups of coffee and 1 coke in between.Plan is to go like this for another 24 hours and then have something light.

I know its unhealthy but still…wish me lucK

On a binge and back again

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:57:21 -0500

Well people, over the past week-10 days or so, I’ve been off. Off on a binge…

Well not exactly a binge. I wasnt guzzling tons of food everyday. But yes, enough to make sure that I didnt lose any weight. Not that I gained any either.

But now I’m back. Today is the first day after a while that I’ve been able to suppress my hunger. And actually I’ve just had 200 calories the entire day so I think I’m doing that well enough.

Plan is to go flat out on a severe diet and get myself down to 180-181 by next saturday.

Wish me luck folks

Am I in trouble?

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:11:09 -0500

Well people, yours truly had a weigh-in tuesday morning. And things do not look good.

I’m at 185 lbs. Same place I was a week back. So, apparently the last week was a total waste.

Am I going to have to go rambo again to get some results?

AM I PLATEAUING?(GASP)

For now, I’m going to keep going at keeping my intake around 1200. That means a medium meal a day plus coffee and fruit along the way.

The goal for next monday is 180 lbs.I have no idea how I’m going to get there like this.

I’m screwed aren’t I?

Monday update

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:06:28 -0500

Well people,

my big eating continued on monday, albeit on a much smaller scale. I just had a big breakfast, omelet along with some of my fav veggies. Several helpings of the veggies.

Total for the day came out at just over 1200 calories, so I was just breaking even more or less.

don't sit still: Stuck At A Plateau? Why Eating More, Sleeping More, and Changing What You're Doing Can Help.:

Wow…I think this has actually happened to me in the past:I accidentally upped my calorie intake for a few days and my weightloss increased!!

A plateau means…

That it is humanly possible for you to lose additional weight (your body does not keep losing weight indefinitely), but you are not.

That…

The high calorie weekend

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:18:30 -0500

Well people, it was, as expected, a high calorie weekend.

First up was friday night. Chinese food at a restaurant.It came to a whopping 1700 calories, putting me at a total calorie count of 2000 for that day.

Saturday turned out to be a nice breather, despite my attempt to ruin it with 2 slices of a small personal pizza. But I stayed well within my daily limit.

And then came sunday.

It was a day I was spending with my gf. It started out with a hearty breakfast complete with vegetable leftovers from last night.The breakfast alone put me at 800 calories so I was of to a bad start.

Then came lunch. Buffet at a fancy place. A good big huge buffet.

Total damage:2500 CALORIES. FOR A SINGLE BUFFET! Can you imagine that! And can you imagine that I usually eat much more at a buffet than I did this time!

This along with some food here and there in the evening put my daily total at 3700 calories!

This is gonna be a bitch of a week. I’ve got catching up to do!

beccasfitlife:

When you have a dream, never let it go. Learn what it will take to accomplish this dream, go after it, and never look back. So many of us are scared to pursue something, and to fall on the way. We are all only human, so set backs are to be expected. It’s what you do when you come to a set back that matters. These obstacles are what will make us stronger. They will teach us important lessons and in the end, they will no longer seem like an obstacle, but an important milestone where you learned who you really are and what you really want.

Our lives are short. We need to pursue our passions with everything we have. Don’t let others get in your way, because they don’t know what you need deep inside. Only you can know what will complete your life.

So, with each day, remember your dreams. Develop habits and learn what it will take to accomplish these goals. In the end, you will be grateful you worked for your dreams, your passion, your life.

Don’t take the easy route; work toward your dreams.

Thats petty good.And thats something I used to believe in.

But what do you do when you hit roadblocks that just seem insurmountable. Where you’ve done everything you could, but its up to other people to decide your fate, and they just dont let you through.

What do you do?

Things arent always that simple……

I think I might've done too much

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 07:47:17 -0500

Well people, I’ve been here before.

A few years back, in college, when I used to go on strenuous diets interspersed with bingeing, I used to have the same thing.

Its been nearly 40 hours since my last big meal.And I’m starting to feel the effects. I’m feeling cranky,snapping at people,feeling slightly depressed too, feeling empty headed and absentminded.

The big meal isnt too far off now. Just gotta hold it together till then.

P.S:The gf has taken strong exception to the rigorous nature of my diet at present and has urged caution. I might just heed her advice.

No meal Thursday:Success

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:16:05 -0500

Well, after my midnight pizza intake on wednesday night, I had decided to have no further meals on thursday. And fortunately, I was able to do that successfully.

Just had a couple of cups of coffee and a couple of glasses of milk.

I have that big dinner friday, so lets see what happens after that

Take care!

I wanna know what people assume about me because of my tumblr. Put an assumption in my ask. I'm not gonna be mean, I'm very interested.

Midnight pizza:This cant be good

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:41:18 -0500

Well people, I’m worried. I was at work Wednesday night( yes, my work involves me putting in nights occasionally), and a colleague treated us all to pizza. The usual “social eating” phenomenon kicked in and I had 2 medium slices.And I had coke. Regular.Not diet.

I fear this cant be good for my diet.

On the other hand, according to myfitnesspal it probably hasn’t had that much damage. I’m still under my daily calorie amount and if I dont have much thursday( which I plan to do anyway), the damage could be curtailed.

Lets see what happens….

Why now-Inside the dark world of my mind

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:59:30 -0500

The truth:I’ve always been fat.ALWAYS!

I was always the fat kid at school. I was ALWAYS made fun of. I was always given “friendly advice” to reduce. And I was always the easiest guy to pick on.

What did I do to reduce in all those years:Nothing. At least nothing much.

Reasons:My family’s all fat so its kinda normal at home. Vicious outside,but normal at home.

More importantly: My complete immersion in academics and later on my career. That was all that mattered, for me and my family.

I was the straight-A guy. My ife revolved around the next challenge, and I beat em all.

I was bad at sports.I didnt care. I was bad at friendships and relationships.I didnt care. I was bad at interpersonal skills. I didnt care.And I was fat:But I didnt care

My life was skewed overwhelmingly towards one segment, one aspect of itself. And as I kept going forward, meeting and beatin every challenge in that world, I was content.

Until last year,when I failed. And I just didnt fail at something small, I failed to get the one thing I had worked for for 10 years, the thing that was gonna make it all worthwhile.

I came so close, sooooo close, and I blew it.

The last 1 year has been my hardest ever. Because, when all you had was one aspect of your life, and you’re no longer good at it, what do you do? How do you survive when the rest of you was never much to begin with?What do you tell yourself?

Its been a long year. But what I feel now, is that I cant focus all of myself into one thing. I have got to work in other areas too. I cant be fat all my life, I’ve got to be more spiritual, I’ve got to be better at interacting with others and,

I’ve got to have fun:),the fun that I always denied myself.
