@CamandJarvis, I really do like your H.A.B.I.T.A.T. I'm guilty of the H.I.T. in HABITAT when it comes to bread carbs. Tired, hungry and it was there.

11/27 - 151.4 - Good habits yesterday. More water (estimating about 100oz). Thanks to NF app, I've been checking my assigned habits regularly and it reminded me to think of "H.A.B.I.T.A.T" or Hungry, Angry, Bored, It was there, Tired, Anxious, Thirsty when I ate. Since I've been off of fasting for awhile, I've lost a bit of familiarity with my hunger cues so this really made me think before I ate. I'm also slowly working my way back into fasting since I felt so good on it as well. It definitely helped me avoid grabbing food in between meals simply because I was bored. Yippee! Not sure plans today or tomorrow so I'm just playing it by ear at this point. I feel pretty motivated still today so I think I can manage weekend indulgences. Its when motivation wanes that I fall off. At least I have a new round to start off on a better foot!

Previous Day's Comments

11/18 - Welp. TOM came unexpectedly a week and a half early. Just in time for race day. Dinner was a tad heavy, homemade a chicken, tomato, spinach, rice and turmeric dish with homemade naan bread that Fam made. I'm right at maintenance calories, maybe a tad over. Water was good, full 90oz. At this point, my body is all kinds of wonky. I'm feeling heavy, but I'm not looking overly bloated so I'm going to guess that's the functions of TOM, particularly with these new meds and being off-schedule. Why does my body have to make this so complicated?! Especially difficult because I'm waiting for January to fall under my work's health insurance. The VA does not offer my meds in their system (I'm currently on trial pack, but if I need to adjust dosage, I have to get from a pharmacy and I can't afford without insurance).
11/19 - At least I'm back out of the 150s. My body is on strike or something, I have no clue what's going on. I wonder if it's stress/anxiety plus TOM really messing me up? Likely is. Once this race is over tomorrow, I'll probably feel better. I don't know why I get so anxious for this type of stuff. Oh well, it's happening whether I like it or not. Hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up feeling less bloated and heavy. No scale so we will have to check in Sunday.
Edit to note: TMI is still all over the place. This also may be a HUGE factor in all this. Especially the "heavy but not quite bloated" feeling I've been having.
11/20 - 5k Race, out of town.
11/21 - First things first: 38:24. 1:03 slower than 6 years and a back surgery ago. Not bad! I'm quite happy. Now, the weight. Hormones still going crazy with fluctuations. TMI still not cooperating and getting on schedule. DOMS are kicking my butt (waddle waddle), eating out because we weren't home until late, and not quite enough water because driving and not having many places to stop for a restroom. Bad news: I think I sprained my ACL. FamWife is recreational therapist but obviously has some medical background for her certification and she said either ACL or meniscus but after doing research, I'm thinking more ACL due to the location. I've had patellofemoral syndrome every time I've run and this pain is vastly different. Deeper inside the knee, sharper, and it makes it feel like a bubble inside my knee causing it to be difficult and painful to bend or straighten it. Similar to Halloween knee pain, but that onset hours after the run and went away by the next day. This onset during the run and is still painful today. And it was more painful than Halloween's pain. Other bad news? I because of the potential for it to be ACL, I need to take it easy and get lots of rest. No long walks with the pup, no exercises that include the legs. Just slow movement to keep it from locking up, rest, ice, and elevation. Joy. Getting this uptick off me is going to strictly be food and water intake. Must behave for the rest of the week leading up to Thursday's Thanksgiving feast. Joy. I think I can do it, though. I'm not giving up, that's for sure.
11/22 - Yippee, I was worried it'd take a few days to see any kind of drop. Still sore, I can tell by my roll-out-of-bed waddle haha! Knee has reduced to a dull ache (rather than sharp pain) but that doesn't mean anything. I thought it was just sore Halloween and when pain went away the next day I forgot about it. Obviously it didn't finish healing by Saturday when it flared up. At least I don't have another 5k scheduled until September (another Guinness World Record Attempt!) so I can rest it up. I think I'll focus on rowing in the next few weeks once I'm a little more healed up for a low-impact workout. Will hold off on walking the pup until after Thanksgiving. I'll take it day by day and see how I feel before jumping into anything. Water was amazing yesterday, over 100oz. Back at it today with flushing this uptick out. Need to go grocery shopping to try to avoid the Tuesday/Wednesday rush. I'm set to make my homemade bread, rolls, deviled eggs, and pecan pie for Friendsgiving with Fam. Will also stock up the house for lunch and dinner Monday-Wednesday.
11/23 - Sodium bump from homemade shrimp and steak fried rice with egg rolls. I didn't get overly full like I usually do at dinner which was progress. Water at 90oz. Not much movement. I've been a part of this group, Nerd Fitness Academy, for years. I haven't used it because I hated using their web-based system (good system, but hated that I had to have access to my computer to do anything). Well, yesterday I found out they have an app! WITH REMINDERS. Whoot! So my phone will remind me daily to check in (very necessary when motivation wanes or brain forgets). They have lots of "journeys" such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, daily habits, etc. I've already unlocked "daily tasks" as well to slowly improve in general. They focus on small habit changes over a long period of time. Learned today for goals: it's not an on/off switch (turn it off when things get tough) but, instead, a dial. What is 10/10? (example: work out for 1/2 hour 4x a week), what is 1/10? (park at the back of the parking lot and walk inside), and what is 5/10? (go for a 20 minute walk every other day) so that even on our toughest, craziest, busiest days, we can still do SOMETHING in the right direction of our chosen goal (object in motion stays in motion, definitely nerding out here). I just wanted to share in case the "Dial" might help someone else who, like me, struggles and flips that switch off a tad too often. I'm going to do my best to follow the dial method now.
11/24 - Managed to drop the sodium weight off. Late posting because I started baking early: homemade Texas Roadhouse rolls, homemade Hawaiian rolls, 2 different gluten-free artisan breads (I wasn't confident the almond flour would even hold shape it was so watery and the cassava flour I needed to double the water just to get it in a doughy consistency), and pecan pie. By the time I'm done baking the hawaiian bread and texas roadhouse rolls, the other artisan bread will be done rising and ready to be formed for baking. Tomorrow, while BF bakes the ham, I'll be making one dozen normal deviled eggs and one dozen cayenne pepper deviled eggs. Whew. Busy busy. Need to catch up on posts as well as water, I'm a tad behind from having my hands covered in various doughs all morning kneading them! The worst is over, now it's the oven's job with my supervision to finish it all off.
11/25 - HAPPY THANKSGIVING
11/26 - Didn't get a chance to post yesterday. BF handed off the ham to me so I was up and cooking early to get it all done in time. Not quite enough water, about 75oz. A little movement around the kitchen but not much else. Didn't go back for seconds but I was pretty well stuffed regardless. I expected to see 155 with all the sodium and my lower water intake. Back to business now: we only brought a few of my rolls and some ham home as leftovers so I won't be tempted (and BF will eat most of the ham since it's the only leftovers he'll eat). Christmas is in 29 days so I have almost a month between holidays to behave and get back on track. I can do this. I've been following the habits on my Nerd Fitness (NF or NFA) app. We are still in the "recognizing your current situation" part, but in the next day or two, those activities will switch to changing one small thing and checking in on that change. Then another change. So on and so forth.

@CamandJarvis you reminded me of another saying I use with some other friends. I need to HALT when I am hungry, angry, lonely and tired. I really like yours too.

Hi all,

I come here to make a commitment to myself, I am in the UK, female, 56, 5 4" and currently 10 stone, the heaviest I have ever been. it's been bugging me, clothes don't fit and I am feeling self-conscious. I have been switching around, experimenting with HRT, currently, on Femoston Conti, 6 pumps of Oestrogel and just added a pea-sized amount of Testosterone gel recently. My weight has gone up over a stone since this time last year and if I don't actively try to lose some I won't know if it's the HRT or lockdown eating/inactivity. I have been binging on carbs, bread and buns. I have CFS and PoTs, and I'm histamine intolerant which restricts what I eat. It's quite confusing...anyway I am going to follow the advice of Dr Sarah Myhill expert in CFS and try keto...just need to work with low histamine though

Today is day one...I just need to get up the courage to throw all the buns and bread out!

Please feel free to add me if we have commonalities

Have a great day all:)

S x

It's a month later and I can't believe I actually did it, I have lost almost a stone and am feeling better for it as in slender. It has helped my digestion being off the gluten and sugar, still have chronic pain though. Hoping that can improve over time
