Debbie Cousins's Journal, 10 Jul 21

Hey, since July 3rd, I've actually "maintained" my weight under 206. Mostly, it fluctuates from day to day between 205.4 and 205.8. I'm pretty happy about that! After my last fast, I just continued to go up and up until I was totally out of control again. This time, once I put back on the 6-7 pounds post-fasting weight (water retention and food in digestive tract), I've held it steady for a whole week! I think that might be a record for me! No kidding. If left to my own devices, I'm either losing or GAINING - rarely just staying the same!

This is encouraging, because if I can maintain for a week at around 2,000 calories, I should be able to LOSE when I reduce the calories next week! I think I'll "officially" shoot for 1,800 calories a day, but I will strive to keep that more in the 1,600's range.

The key factor will be cutting back on the "desserts/snacks." With the birthday cake and the 5-Cup Salad all gone now, that shouldn't be nearly as hard! I need to buy my husband some "dessert" foods that HE likes but that I don't really care for - Like Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, Triple Ginger Cookies, Gingersnaps - stuff like that. I can resist those things any day of the week and twice on Sundays! Putting them on grocery shopping list now!

Gr8 job Debbie!!! You Can Do This!!! Awesome plan to get the things that aren't a temptation for you! Sugar Free Jello with a squirt of whipped cream is a very good dessert and helps to not feel deprived of dessert!

Nice work! I am a dessert/snack person too. I finally stopped trying to eliminate them completely and found some that I can eat without feeling bad. Sugar free jello has been my favorite. I buy the pre-made cups of it so I can grab one whenever I want to and it’s only 5 cal. Sugar free pudding made with 1/2 almond milk and 1/2 skim has been good also. I like to get the cheesecake flavor and then toss a few frozen berries and a few crushed up teddy Grahams on top. Sugar free fudgesicles are also yummy and less than 50 cal each.
