Hungry, Hungry, Hungry

The last few days I've been constantly starving. It seems to come and go in waves. The bright side is, I seem to be losing weight still! Despite eating an entire pizza over the course of 12 hours, when I hopped on the scale yesterday, it said 197.2!

Okay, that's not exactly true, which brings me to the second point of this post: scale fluctuations.

When I first stepped on the scale, I was disappointed. It said 201.6! I said, "No, that can't be right!" So I stepped on it again, and then it said 197.2 This morning the scale first said 200.4, then 198.0. I really thought that a digital scale would help with the inaccuracy I was experiencing with my previous scale. To an extent, it did, now that it's a two pound fluctuation instead of then 15 pounds my old scale had, but still. Two pounds makes a difference when you're trying to lose weight!

Why I Miss Keto

Seriously, I was never hungry on keto. I can't stop eating now. I'm not going over on my calories, but I'm ridiculously hungry compared to before. I hate it.

Fat Fast Update: Day 1

This was a terrible idea. I like bulletproof coffee (BPC). Today I've had it hot, and I've had it iced - about 4 cups worth so far. I am not a happy person. I don't typically drink very much caffeine. I am fidgety and I'm having some anxiety. I can't sit still, but I'm really not focused enough to accomplish anything.

I'm also starving.

Sometimes, when things aren't going well, and all I want to do is bake myself enough chocolate lava cake that I could eat the lava and live inside the remaining cake shell, I pose naked in front of the mirror. Occasionally it makes me realize that I've made progress and I'm looking better every day! Usually it makes me realize that soon I'm going to have to shop exclusively in the plus size section or resort to shopping in the women's section (not appealing to a 21 year old). Today, at this very moment, I'm so worked up that I want to grab my scale and smash it against my bathroom mirror.
Which would only result in this:

New plan: I get to eat food. I'm eating dinner tonight. Fuck it.

The End of Hunger

I've always been hungry. Even as a kid,  I could always eat. After starting at the hospital it went from being a little hungry all the time to starving constantly. After doing Keto for about a week, I'm no longer hungry.  Yesterday I skipped lunch. I'm not sure if that's ever happened before.
The other benefit? I'm actually under on "recommended" calories. To be under in calories and not hungry is just awesome. I'm not really counting calories, but it was nice to see.
