Week 4: WEIGHT GAIN

What a weird week. I pooped 3 healthy logs on Sunday 6/23/2024 and have not pooped since. Zero urge to poop. No "constipation" feelings either. For example, going to the toilet, straining, and nothing coming out or stuck in the rectum. I am writing this post while sipping on Smooth Move tea, which I have used about 6 months ago, and created a bowel movement about 8 hours afterwards.

I also had some intense ovulation/menstrual cycle hormonal bloating on Monday through Wednesday this week. I am trying to get pregnant, but weird to have such intense bloating, without cramping, and because I have 10 days left until my next cycle.

I took the medication every day this week, to "trust the process", and guess what? Wednesday, food noise was front and center!!! I went to my "old ways" Wednesday Morning: Chick fil a - spicy chicken egg and egg muffin (Rather than biscuit), hash browns, and a large diet lemonade, unhappy with the order mixup and getting a muffin, I drove to Mcdonalds to get a bacon egg and cheese biscuit. I didn't eat half of the bread for each sandwich, I threw away one side of the english muffin and biscuit. Afternoon: McDonalds again - 2 double cheeseburgers add mayo, small fries, and an iced water Then wanted something cold so picked up a black milk tea with boba and drank half of that

Wednesday calories: 2,467

Super weird and disappointed that I had 1) food noise and 2) literal went through the habitual pattern of the drive thru. 2,467kcal is what I'd consume on a normal day before dieting, it's not "binge" amount of calories for me. Usually binge calories are closer to 3000-4800 kcal, aka 3 full whole meals in one day.

Average daily calories this week: 1,213

Last Friday weigh-in: 186.0 Saturday: 186.2 Sunday: 187.0 Tuesday: 190.2
Friday (today): 189.2

Week 5 goals: continue to drop the weight!
