Day 19: slow recovery

It is hard to understand why I put on so much weight in such a short time. My only reasonable conclusion is that the scales are telling me a number that is wrong to some extent. That is a pain, but I can't calibrate them right now due to lack of a working car. I will just have to assume that the situation will get better, which is what is happening, the yellow dots on the graph are moving towards the green line at a reasonable rate I think.

So far my girlfriend seems to be ok with my losing weight. That will change in time I think, but for the moment I will wait until the negative comments start. There are two choices about why she doesn't want me to lose most of my excess fat: first she isn't going to be attracted to me at my desired weight, second she doesn't like me to be successful with weight loss when she isn't (she wants to lose weight, and isn't being successful at the moment). Time will tell which it is. It's most likely that it's the latter, but you never know, do you?

Those protein bars (actually, 6g fat, 15g protein, 22g carbohydrates) are excellent. They really suppress my appetite. That's the good news. The bad news is that I've gone through about half of the box in a few days, I will be finished by mid next week. That means that I'll just have to do what I planned anyway: whey powder and fruit, plus veges.

Punishment continues: writing what I eat
