Last couple years I was lax with the eating. So I bloomed up to 242 pounds on a 5' 10 frame ( Xtra large shirt) usually. Now a 1 X shirt would be better. This Sunday will be 3 weeks on the diet. I was on my last notch in the belt. And the belt comes under the belly. So the belt doesn't go over the belly button. Not good, not good at all. Hence, the diet.
Around 28 I was in a 7/11 getting lunch. I don't remember the circumstances but I was talking to a stranger and we got to talking about weight gain. He said that when he loosened his belt one notch he would go on a no white diet. No sugar, bread,salt ice cream or milk. Once his weight came down he'd eat what he wanted I said Wow. Did I follow his advice. Stupid me did not. Do I regret it yes. But I was a foody, then and now. I could eat whatever I wanted, up until I was 23, then it started to stick. Back in my late 49s I walked by the hall mirror one day and I say, who is that? Jumped on scale 260 the heaviest of all time. I've stayed around 240 for decades. Gave it more years and got down to 215. But I eventually went back to 240. Got to drop 42 pounds to get to 200. I'm starting to get there.
I start with breakfast. I swap out 2 things. One day it will be cereal and the next 1 jumbo egg and one cooked piece of bacon. I also take 3 small mini potatoes from a bag from Wallmart. I slice them and put them in pan with bacon strip. Then pepper, hot sauce and ketchup. And One cup of instant de- cafe sleeve with a little bit of real sugar and half & half.
Lunch.... 2 mini croissants toasted not the ones that say butter found at Wallmart. In that I put a little grape jelly then cream cheese on top of that. When out and about I go to Taco Bell and get the chicken stacker for 2.99. plus I use 7-8 hot sauce packets. Sometimes I buy discount yogurts and use them as snacks.
Dinner......I fry up turkey or chicken in a tube. Half a palm of meat. Brown them up and add it to instant mash potato or macaroni. With a little bit of cheese from the included packets.. I add stone ground mustard from Wallmart and hot sauce. Also I shake some basil into it. For macaroni I add a little bit of olive oil or grape oil. It's good. I will add raw carrots and radishes. Also frozen cauliflower. I will have a salad 3 times a week. And boiled corn for 10 min. One ear. A little salt and a little butter.
Desert...,....1 Vortman fudge choc chip cookie sugar free. And a pudding cup sugar free. Sometimes I swap a sugar free ice cream sandwich instead of a pudding cup. You have to take them out of the box and stick them in the freezer. After 2 mons of that I think I won't be getting them even though they're sugar free. They don't taste that great.
I don't have a scale. But my belt is now on the 4th notch in. From 1 to 4 in less than 3 weeks. I see the stomach shrinking. This is where I store it. When I get to 200 I will try for 195. Then stay there. I will need alot of diligence this time around. I will get it done!
