Second Day I Awoke With A Higher Temperature

Hello weight losing fans....

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 204.6-pounds.

Today is the second day that I have awakened in the early morning hours with a body temperature of over 98 degrees Farenheit. This is really a very encouraging outcome for me.

I really believe that if I can keep my body temperature up at a normal average, instead of the 96 degrees, and below that I have been averaging, I will burn more fat eventually.

We'll see if I am correct.

Bye for now...

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 204.2-pounds.

That's down, and a long way from 180-pounds.

I have been taking my temperature regularly. I am convinced that part of my problem with my weight has been because I have an under active thyroid.

Well, my temperature has been showing more and more at 98.6 or above 98 more often.

This I think will eventually help me burn those extra calories.....

Now, some people think that if I'll just exercise that will do the jop. Nope, it doesn't do the job. It's exercise, and caloric intake that does the job.

I Woke Up With A Normal Temperature

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 205.4-pounds.

This morning I woke up and took my temperature. The thermometer read 98.7 degrees Fahrenheit.

I think this is a good thing. This might mean that my thyroid is normalizing. It might mean that I will burn calories easier. We'll see.

Join Us And Black Out Your FACEBOOK Photo

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 204.8-pounds.

That's down.

It's not where I want to be. However, I think I will be making some progress. Since I have been taking desiccated thyroid, and kelp capsules, my body temperature has been slowly rising.

Our body temperature should be on average 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, my body temperature has consistently been below that.

I never new my thyroid may have been under performing because of a lack of Iodine. Yes, my thyroid gland has been working, however, not like it should have been.
The thyroid gland can absorb other chemicals that cause the thyroid to under perform.
The only way to combat that is to start supplement in some form of Iodine so that the thyroid will have that available to absorb. If the thyroid can get the Iodine it should have then hopefully it will begin to perform normally.

With the addition of Iodine from kelp (Seaweed) my thyroid may very well be absorbing the iodine it needs to speed up my thyroid.

I woke up today with a body temperature just below 98 degrees. This is higher than before.

Hopefully as my body temperature begins to rise, I will start burning fat like I should.

We'll see if I am right.

Do You Know The Damage That The Health Care Reform Bill Did?
Barack Hussein Obama promised that your insurance premiums will go down. Well, nothing will be further from the truth.

The new law forces insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. As a result the insurance company will have to charge more for your insurance premiums. You think you have benefited, but the reality is you will pay more.

The essential provisions for this bill don't kick in for another four years. Barack Obama wants to get re-elected in 2012. If the actual penalties, taxes, and costs kicked in right away, there would be a huge backlash. This would even be from the DEADBEATS who think they will get free insurance.

You will be forced by law to purchase Health Care Insurance. If you don't then your will be fined, and if you refuse the fine, you will be jailed. That's it, the government will put you in jail.
How do you like that America.

In four years when these provision finally kick in after Barack Huessein Obama is re-elected, then you will be terrorized by government officials... It's going to get bad.

Join us. If you have FACEBOOK will you black out your photograph. I have mine blacked out.

(Let me give credit where credit is due. I did not originate the idea about blacking out my photo on FACEBOOK... It was a woman by the name of Cheryl Jordan who came up with the idea, and I am following suit. The original day it began was on March 22, 2010.)

My Body Is Warming Up... Maybe I'll Burn More Calories

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 205-pounds.

OK...

Now, I would be dishonest if I didn't report the last two days I was actually at 207, and 206.6-pounds.

But I am down from that for today at least.

My Body Temperature Seems To Be Increasing
The normal temperature, or average temperature, for the human body is said to be 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

For a long time my body temperature has ranged below that temperature.

This might be part of the problem with me having issues with my weight.

I embarked on a program of consuming kelp from seaweed, and consuming desiccated bovine thyroid. Now I might not die from a thyroid condition, but I'll will get mad cows decease instead. I am kidding.

My temperature seems to be rising. We'll see if this helps me lose more weight...

My Body Temperature Seems To Be Rising

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 204.4-pounds.

That's up again.

My Body Temperature Seems To Be Rising
About a week ago I listened to a radio program called Coast-to-Coast. On the show a doctor was talking about the thyroid, and how important it is in so many bodily functions.

One of the things he talked about is the thyroid gland is a very reactive organ in that it readily absorbs iodine. But, because it is such a reactive organ, it also can absorb other chemicals in our diets that have other chemicals ending in the .........ine. For example, it can readily absorb benzine, bromine, chlorine, etc. on the list goes.

He mentioned that most Americans don't consume enough green foods that contain Iodine. As a result the other chemicals displace the iodine in the thyroid. This displacement of the critical chemical of Iodine results in the thyroid malfunctioning.

The malfunction of the thyroid that most often takes place is commonly called hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is a "slowing" down of the thyroid in that it's not producing appropriate levels of hormones that help the body function properly.

Well, one of the side effects of hypothyroidism is a malfunction of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is critical in regulating the bodies responses to metabolism.

Often an under active hypothalamus gland is found to be responsible in the body being unable to metabolise body fats.

It's very complicated, and if you want to know more about it, then I suggest you google the Internet for more information.

I Decided To Start Taking Action
I did a test that's very simple. In the morning put a thermometer under the armpit. Take the temperature in that location.

If the temperature falls into the temperature zone that mine has for the last ten days, then the odds may be good that the thyroid is hypo-active. Mine has been falling below 97 degrees consistently for the last ten days.

I believe that my low body temperature is because my thyroid is slow or poorly functioning.
I believe that is because I don't get enough Iodine in my diet.

I went to the health food store and purchased desiccated bovine thyroid, and kelp capsules.

I started taking one thyroid tablet a day. Now I am up to 2 thyroid tablets twice a day, and four kelp capsules a day. I take them in the morning, and at night before I go to bed.

My morning temperature hasn't gone up, but my waking temperature seems to have gone up. I am now measuring over 98 degrees. This is up from measuring as low as 96 degrees during the day a week ago.

I am hoping that this regiment will increase my metabolism which in turn will help me regulate me lose more weight.

I don't know if it will work. It's too early to tell for sure.

I have been cautioned by some people in the medical profession that I can seriously injure myself doing this.

Well, how about the fact that I have been in this condition for a very long time. No doctor that I have ever seen has ever suggested that I have my thyroid checked.

The medical establishment is not trained to look carefully at the thyroid gland. They rely on a test that they use to diagnose the conditions of the thyroid.

The easiest test is to take your temperature. If you were like me, chubby, and your body temperature was way low, then you probably have a poor thyroid gland.

You may be able to increase your thyroid just by using Iodine liquid, or using kelp that's inexpensive, and can be purchased at the health food store.

My Body Temperature Has Dropped Again

Hello weight losing fans.

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 303.8-pounds.

Oh boy...

I have been working on improving my thyroid activity by taking descecated beef thyroid tablets, and kelp capsules. I thought I would see some improvement.

This morning I woke up and my body temperature had actually dropped another degree lower to 95.5 degrees F. I have been hoping to increase my metabolism, and therefore as a result my body temperature would go up too.

We'll see what it looks like tomorrow.

Bye for now...

A Crazy Thought For The Day


Is Your Thyroid Causing You To Gain Weight?

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 203.4-pounds.

Do You Have A Hypothyroid?
Early this morning, I awoke at around 1 AM. It wasn't time I wanted to wake up at. Only, once I awoke, I had a hard time falling asleep.

I decided to turn on the radio and listen to a radio show called Coast-to-Coast. On the show he had a doctor talking about how so many people have a problem with their thyroids, and don't know it.

I won't get into all of the particulars of the show, because to be honest I don't remember everything that was being said.

I did decide to investigate further what was being said on the show.

One of the things I did was do a simple test to see if I have a low thyroid. I took a thermometer and put it under my armpit. If the thyroid is normal then my body temperature should have ranged in at 97.5 degrees F to 98.6 degrees F. My thermometer showed 96.2 degrees F.

Now this testing is supposed to go on every morning for at least five days.
I didn't have to test anymore to convince myself that I had a low body temperature. I also figured that I have a hypothyroid because I have all the symptoms.

Now I decided to try and treat my own hypothyroidism. I went the health food store, and purchased some decicated bovine thyroid, and a bottle of Kelp tablets.

I will see what progress I make as result of using those two items. I am sure that I have had hypothyrodism for a long while. This in my opinion explains why my weight lose had stopped at 180-pounds. With very little increase in food, I easily regained another 20-pounds.

If you want to learn more you can research the internet. I am posting a link to a web page that I was reading because this page directly addresses the issues of weight gain because of a poor thyroid gland.

How Iodine Accelerates Weight Loss: http://www.naturalnews.com/008902.html

I am curious to know if anyone reads this and is willing to research for themselves about hypothyroidism.

Just think the cure may be as easy as taking a supplement like Kelp Tablets.

Slipping, and Slipping Up The Weight Scale... NOT Down

Hello weight losing fans...

The reason I don't know is because my baggage was taken by accident yesterday and I just had to drive 50 miles to recover it. My weight scale was in the bag... Yes, I still carry that thing around with me. A lot of good it's doing.

Yesterday, and the day before that I came in weighing in at 207.2-pounds.

I've Lost Weight, But Where Did That Fat Go To?

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 201-pounds...

Where Does The Fat Go?

Here is a question: Let's say you are on a diet, and you lost 60-pounds, like me;
where did that fat go?

Think about it for a few minutes. Does the fat evaporate into the air?

Does the fat just vaporize into a gas?

This may be a very unsavory topic for sure. However, it's the reality in learning about what happens to the human body. Surely not every topic is easy to deal with.

Well, the fat that is burned off, (as in 60-pounds) goes into the toilet. (Unless you aren't potty trained.)

That's right; I've talked about this before. Fat splits up into chemicals that make up it's components. Since the body is now using that fat, it's discarding all the component chemicals that become our waste by-products.

So if you are being successful in your weight losing program, turn around and see there in the toilet bowl is that part of your body that's been hanging on for so long.

Yep, your urine, and that stool have your components of fat that have been on your body for so long.

That's where your fat goes when you finally start to lose weight.

Adrenaline, And Stress Wiped Out That Weight

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 200.4-pounds.

It's been hard this last week or so...

These are the times that try a man's or woman's heart. I don't know why things happen like they do.
Only, the stress, and emotional anquish of losing someone that's loved, really takes it's toll.

I can honestly say that my weight sitting here at just above 200 is only because my mind, and body has gone into adrenaline overflow mode. It's caused me to have sleepless nights, and chest pain. It's cause me to lose my appetite some in the morning hours. I have had to eat in the morning just because I knew that I should.

Well, what's going to happen with my weight loss program? What are my goals?

Answer: I have no goals for weight loss right now. I do have a vision of my weight getting back to 180-pounds. Only, that's where I am going to stabilize it. I am going to make sure that I can keep it at that level before I attempt to get back down further.

I never expected my mom to die so suddenly like she did. I will say I know she's with Jesus, and I will see her again by GOD'S grace and mercy.

Will We Eventually Be Controlled By Environmental Fascists?

I Denounce You Michelle Obama, And Your Weight Control Agenda


Hello weight losing fans...
Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 200.8-pounds.

Well, that's what stress will do for you. It's been hard for me the last week with the sleepless nights, and the feelings of sadness.

I have eaten more food per day than my caloric allotment. However, because of personal distress my body consumed more energy. So here I am back at 200.8-pounds with little effort.

Since there's nothing I can do about my mother dieing and you can't either, it's back to my messages on the blog.

Michelle Obama SCREW YOU And Your Fascist Agenda To Stop Obesity In Children
During the 2010 State of the Union Address, President Barack Huessein Obama designated Michelle Obama at the New National Chairperson for controlling Obesity in Children....
In other words she's another one of his unelected czars of whom no one knows her salary, or her benefits package.

I will tell you up front why he did this: It's called follow the money. Obama is a greedy jerk who wants money and power. In giving Michelle Obama this Chairmanship she now has the ability to collect a salary and all the benefits that would be given to a government employee...

Not only did he give her a salary, but he gave to her an immense amount of power to manipulate and control the gullible, stupid masses of people who would follow her.

See this Article written by David Horowitz's
Along with Michelle's unknown salary, goes all the benefits, perks, and authority she will need to travel across the country and around the world to announce her agenda to fight obesity in children. She will be given staff members, all of whom will draw salaries and benefits, as they serve the Queen Michelle Obama...
Meanwhile the taxpayers will take it in the shorts as another government control program gets underway... Forget terrorism; Childhood Obesity is far more dangerous, and demands the immediate attention of Michelle Obama, and the government control freaks.
It's not enough that we have had a surgeon general for years in the President's Cabinet that could have been given the designation. No the power had to be given to Michelle, a woman who doesn't know the first thing about helping children lose weight.
Of course like all power grabbing elitists, Michelle had to declare that Childhood Obesity is an epidemic, even though it's not. And because she now has the authority to set the rules, all we Americans will have to bow down to her agenda.
Well, I say F...... K YOU Michelle Obama, and that husband of yours Barack Hussein Obama.
I like Rush Limbaugh hope that all your initiatives fail miserably.
I don't want to see fat children, but it's not the federal government's job to control children.
You have no business telling anyone how to raise their children when it comes to the choices of food they will eat.....
And I darn sure don't want you Michelle telling me anything.... Go to hell Michelle. Go back to the Loins of Satan where you were spawned from; YOU WITCH !
That's what I think....

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 204-pounds.

Yes that's a for real number. My weight jumped 7-pounds.

You might ask, "How is that possible?"

It's easy, last night I went to dinner with my friend. I had 3/4 of a large pizza.

At home I drank 3 beers, and three shots of carmel flavored ligueur.

So there you have it, too many calories, late in the evening, showed up on the scale in the morning.

OOPS..

Am I worried, NO!?

Do I worry what you think, Double NO!?

Why am I telling you? Well because maybe your one of those neurotics that feels guilty when you gain a pound. Those kind of people beat the crap out of themselves when they violate their weight goals...

I know someone like that who feels so quilty and shameful when he hasn't run.... His writing displays that guilt...

OH big deal. Oh, I gained some weight, feel guilty, feel shame, feel discust with myself.

I am still trying to read this weight loss book. I am throwing up reading it. It's all based on emotions. There seems to be a few redeeming things in it.

But, you know what? You won't lose weight if you don't stop stuffing your face. That's it period.

Still Trying To Read This Book; I Hate It

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 198.8-pounds.

I am still working my way through a book that I borrowed from the library.
Honestly, I can barely stomach the contents.

I hate reading about other peoples reasons for gaining weight...

Even the author admitted the reason he gained so much weight was because he ate to much of the wrong things. Well, dah.......

This is what I have been writing now for over two years. We ate too much food, and we got fat.
I got fat because I ate more food than I needed to produce the energy I needed to survive.
The same reasoning is true for you.

That donut, the cheese parfait, the steak sandwich, the French Fries, don't care why you're eating them...

Your body, doesn't care why your eating so much either. It goes along dutifully charging to your fat account all the extra calories, and fat that you consume that exceeds your daily needs.

It doesn't matter what the reasons are... If you overeat, then you'll get fat... TA DA !!!!

How hard is that to understand?

I Over Eat Because I Am Hungry

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 199.2-pounds.

Today I went to the library at church and borrowed a book about losing weight the sensible way.

In the book the author attempted to give reasons people eat like they do, which results in obecity. Well, I have only been able to start reading the book. I am not sure I'll finish it.

It's simply because the author is using case study about people to show that the reason people over eat is because it's all emotional....

Well for myself, I really wish that was true. The reason I over ate, and still struggle not to, is becuase I am down right stinking hungry.

Right now, I am writing this, and my stomach is growling. I want to eat.

That's all for now...

And that's the way it is... I'm David Dane.

Yet, this is my results.

OK, I just have to be more patient.

Down Under 200 Pounds Again?

Hello weight losing fans....

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 199.6-pounds.

For those of you (all one of you) who have followed my pithy little blog, you will see that I have really, really been struggling with getting back to 180-pounds.

Oh my this is so tough. The hunger that I am battling now is unbelievable. Why? It's because I have been fighting so hard to hold myself at that 1,500 calorie a day limit.

OUCH....! THIS SUCKS.... !

I remember years ago, I seemed to have so much resolve to get off the pounds. Only, with the help of certain family members and my careless abandon of my own set habits, I began to regain 20-pounds.

I went to 190-pounds, and held that. Then suddenly with the onset of the Christmas Season, and visiting places that had plenty of temptations, I lost my resolve.

Here I am sitting back up around 200-pounds.

I have had to give up most of the sugary substances. I have had to quit eating the candy; again.

My cravings for certain sweets are going crazy.

Don't think for five seconds that losing weight is easy to do. I think I am the only person who will tell you that.

I Struggle With Hunger... What About You?

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 197-pounds.

This is really a challenge...

It's so hard to reverse course when I have gone so far into that wrong direction.

I was reading someone Else's comment on another blog written about me.
I don't think it's understood at all what I have written in the past. I never wrote that losing weight was easy. I never pretended that my will power is any greater than anyone Else's.

I have a question: so what if I regained almost 20-pounds over the last year? Who does that have any effect on but me?

When I started writing this blog over two years ago, it was because I had a pesky friend that kept after me about writing a blog. He was doing it, and he thought I should do it too.
He's the reason I have a FACEBOOK PAGE... And if he didn't sign me up for that, I never would have joined. I am actually very tired of the FACEBOOK... If there wasn't some girl I liked on there so much, I would close the FACEBOOK... But, I look forward to getting a little quip from her here and there......

I don't love being on the computer... To be honest, I don't care if anyone recognizes me either.
I don't crave the attention.

Well, why am I writing this then.... ??????

I am writing this for that one person out there that might benefit from my experience.

If you are overweight like I was, and still am.... I got down to 180-pounds. Now, I am what's up above.....

Food is my downfall.... I am like you, I like to eat. And, I struggle with hunger almost all of the time. I don't care what I eat... I don't care if it's that special Atkins's Diet, the seafood diet, the grapefruit diet... I don't care what it's called, I don't care if I stuffed myself at dinner; because one hour later I am hungry again.....!
Short of using some sort of appetite suppressor, I will always have to wrestle with hunger.

I lost most of my weight being hungry all of the time. That's that Jack.

I resent the smart butts who think I have a weak will. Here is what I think: "Go F..... Yourself."

Oh that's not so nice.

Well, you think you know so much. Leave me alone. You aren't me, and I am not you...

By for now...

The Holidays Took Their Tolls On Me

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 198.2-pounds.

Ooooooooh My.

Didn't I say that I put my head down and was going back for that 180-pounds? I think I did.

Last year I boasted that I was just barely over 180 pounds after the holiday season.

Well, here is what happened. I didn't write down what I was eating, and I didn't weigh myself everyday.
NO monitoring, no self accountability, and look what happened as a result.

Yep that's up more than I wanted.

Today is Thanksgiving Day. I will be eating a lot of food today. I don't care if I weigh 5-pounds more tomorrow. I am going to enjoy the day.

Losing Weight Is Ultimately Up To You
Recently I just had it out with someone I thought was a friend. (To think it all started because I called Barack Hussein Obama a psychotic liar many months ago.) In our e-mails he made it clear that he just barely tolerated me as a person. How would you like that if that happened to you? All of this time, I figured out, that I was actually an irritant to him because he had the superior view of life.

Well, I can't say that I have the superior view about a lot of things. I am not all knowing, and really am not as smart as all that. I have some areas where I have knowledge.

It doesn't matter really though what he thinks, or for that matter what anyone thinks about me.
I have to deal with my own reality. To be honest, on most days I am not satisfied with it. It's just the way I am.

When it comes to the issue of weight loss, I am an authority. Here is why, I've lost so much weight, and I have kept most of it off. I am up 10-pounds. But, I have held the line for the most part.

I still keep my food logs, and I still weigh myself. Oh, I don't write on this blog anymore simply because I figured out that you can find a whole lot of weight advise all over the internet.

I am going to end here with this authoritative statement: You're overweight because you eat more food than you need. You probably use food for personal comfort in some sort of way. I am not going to get into the psychology here.

If you want to lose weight here is my solution: EAT LESS FOOD.

That's it.

Your Comments Won't Change Anything, At Least Not For Me

Hello weight losing friends...

I didn't bring my scale with me out of town.

I know my weight will be over 190-pounds tomorrow. And, spare me the comments. Nothing you say or write will give me any new insights into how lose weight, or keep it off.

I remember one comment I got from someone, who now has ballooned. But, she has a lot of people who comment and comment. Hey, that won't take the desert spoon out of her hand.
That won't keep her from opening up the refrigerator at night.

NOPE, nothing you can say or do will change that.

You Don't Want That Federal Health Care

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 190-pounds.

Tell Your Senator That You Don't Want Government Health Care
Tomorrow November 21, 2009 Senator Reid from the Senate of the United States, will be having a vote for cloture, over the Nationalization Of Health Care, And Insurance By The United States Government.

Folks, you don't want the bill to pass.
First of all it's unconstitutional. There is no language in the United States Constitution that authorizes the government to provide health insurance for every citizen in the United States.
There is no language in the Constitution that provides the government can make anyone who hasn't got health insurance to buy it privately, or under a government plan.

The Bill going through the Senate Makes it mandatory for every citizen to pay a premium for health insurance. If a citizen doesn't have an employer plan, then he or she must by insurance from the government.

There will be taxes levied on everything from toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, tampons, and all hygiene products to pay for the health care bill.

Employers will be forced to buy health insurance for their employees. If the employee doesn't have health insurance, then he/she must buy the government provided health insurance.

I can't go into all the details. But, you need to call your senator and complain you don't want the government health care bill passed at all in any form

Health Care Bill Evil In 2000 Pages
In just a few short days the Senate of these United States will vote on a health care bill that will destroy our freedom in this country. This bill will enable bureaucrats that are not elected by the people of this country to enforce rules and laws on you that you won't be able to stop.

They will have a willing police force of people that they have systematically hired throughout these years that they will unleash on you. Many of these are the seemingly benign police officers that you see patrolling around everyday. But, they because they have done foolish things with their money, like run up debt, purchase over priced home, and have families, will want to keep their paychecks. Since that is the case, they will willingly arrest you and imprison you.

In the courts the judges are paid huge salaries compared to the average citizen. These judges will willingly charge you and imprison you. They will willingly deny you the right to carry a gun and so defend yourself from assault.

Ordinary citizens will be forced by law to buy health insurance. If they don't then they will be fined and imprisoned for up to a year.

I can only pray that this bill won't make it through the Senate. But, the Senators, and Nancy Pelosi are confident there will be the needed votes to make this bill pass.

Our Chairman of the Modern Communist Party, Chairman Barack Hussein Obama will sign this bill into law. That bill along with the passage of the United Nations Environmental Bill will completely end any freedom left in the United States of America. By January of 2010 America may be over because of ignorant stupid people who have voted into office these pathological liars like Obama.

So you think you'll be able to post your pithy stuff on the Internet? No you won't. Not if it doesn't meet with the approval of those people watching the Internet. No, if you write anything that they don't like you can be arrested and imprisoned.

I want to thank all of you MORONS who voted in Obama. You are some incredibly sick, and stupid people. But, you wanted Change. You got what you wanted. Change for the worse is what you will get.

I have some MORONS for friends who think that I am concerned for nothing. Well, I don't like those people so much anymore.

Don't Criticize Me For Eating A Blueberry Muffin

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 187.2-pounds.
Yes you read that right. Yesterday I was 192-pounds, and today I am 187.2-pounds.

There was no typo-graphical error there.

My what a difference a day makes.

Is A Blueberry Muffin, And A Crossaint Unhealthy Food?
I was at work the other day and had a blueberry muffin and croissant in my hand. I told a fellow co-worker I am taking this home to eat for breakfast. He said I thought you were into healthy food?

I said to this man, "This is healthy food." I told the man, "It's the amount of food that is consumed, not the kind of food."

I have a question: What constitutes healthy food? Is it a chicken breast broiled in the oven? Is it a piece of bread made with only whole grains? Is it food that's completely void of sugar?

I don't know any more. I can't speak for any one else. But, I am tired of the paranoia that is out there put upon us by a media that can't make up it's mind about anything.

It seems to me people are growing more and more ignorant about how food is made, and what it's effects are on the body. A blueberry muffin like the one I was holding in my hand was made from white flour, sugar, eggs, and blueberries.

Now, the liberals out there that are pushing "healthy foods" made with only organic food, food made without hydrogenated oils, and without sugar would say that blueberry muffing is so bad for me. They would just as soon have the muffin banned.

Well, I don't care what anyone thinks. I can have a blueberry muffin for breakfast. I can have that and the croissant that I ate as well. It's what else I ate throughout the day that mattered.

It's the amount of food consumed counted by calories that matters.

EAT LESS FOOD. That's what matters.

Look Into Hydrochloric Acid For The Stomach

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 184.2-pounds.
You read that right, it's not a typo-graphical error: 184.2-pounds.

Is Your Low Stomach Acid Affecting Your Weight Loss?
I am going to share with you something that has helped change my dieting strategy.

I discovered that I was having a problem with my digestive tract. Yes, I was having problems with constipation, and heart burn. I haven't struggled with heart burn for over three years. Recently though it has come on me quite regularly.

Recently as I was attempting to put an edge on my dieting by adding in more protein and less carbohydrates, I found that I was plugging up. I also found that I was having heart burn along with a bloated feeling most of the day after eating.

I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I started using Metamucil, hoping that would fix the problem. Well, it didn't fix anything. I was still feeling plugged up, bloated, and getting heart burn.

I didn't consult a doctor. But, I heard something that peeked up my interest. I was listening to a doctor on the radio talking about Hydrochloric Acid in the stomach. In most adults the Hydrochloric Acid goes down to under productive levels. What happens is when we age we begin losing the ability to produce enough stomach acid to digest our food.

The end result is the symptoms that I described previously.

Well, I went to the health food store and purchased a name brand Hydrochloric Acid Tablet.

The results have been Phenomenal. Gone is the bloated feeling that I had all day. Gone is the heart burn that kept coming up into my throat. Finally once again everything is moving up and out like it should in regular fashion.

My suggestion to you is you look into purchasing some Betaine Hydrochloric Acid from your local health food store. This is especially true if you are on a High, Fat Protein Diet like that of the Doctor Atkins' Diet. (Of course do consider consulting your personal physician first.)

As you can tell by the numbers. It seems to be helping me get the results that I have been looking for. Just check out the numbers...

My Weight's Half Way To Where I Want It So Far

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 185.4-pounds.
Yes, that's right, it is 185.4-pounds.

We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I have unleashed a flurry of rhetoric these last two days. Most of it was in the form of a diatribe.
When I started posting this blog two years or so ago, I used to try to be sensitive and gentle.

I wrote about being preponderant. Well, now I am writing "Hey, you're fat. What are you going to do about it?" Oh, I am going to write about my life experiences. This is the reason I keep jamming the sugar donuts into my over blown puffed face.

I thought that if I were sensitive, then maybe I would draw a crowd of readers that would be interested in what I had to say about weight loss. I after a year or so found myself very board with the subject. I also had a very difficult time thinking about how many different ways I could write these words: EAT LESS FOOD....

Yeah, I couldn't figure out what I was going to say anymore. I also found that I was actually beginning to realize after following many blogs that most people aren't really serious about losing weight and then keeping it off. Someone actually got critical at me because I was critical of the "Weight Watchers Mentality." I personally think they act very cult like in their devotion to counting points, instead of calories.

I know what their reasoning is. The points take into account the carbs., the fat content, as well as those calories. It's a so called easy system.

Well that person has admitted that after having lost so much weight he has regained much of it.
So much for all of his efforts.

I also have read about a devoted mother who writes so well and gets so many comments. When I gave her some of my comments she started deleting them.

I have another friend who thinks he is so smart. Look at me I run like a chicken with my head cut off. Well, we'll see when that snow flies.

Time and time again I have seen people join this program, and then that program. Only then after a few seasons end up dropping the program.

To be honest, it doesn't matter to me what any body else does. I really don't care if I get a comment, or if someone coaches me on. I don't care if someone thinks that I am mean.

In the end, I am the one who has to hitch up my britches. I can hitch them up while they are still loose, or I can hitch them up while they are so tight that I have to add notches to my belt.

I say what difference does it make what you write to me, or say to me on the other end of that telephone? When I am wrestling with my appetite, and fighting to control myself, the last thing I am thinking is, "oh, what about that comment?"

Do you really think my friends voice comes into my head and says stop, don't eat that? Yeah, only if they are sitting next to me. And, he/she better be careful, I might take a bite out of them.

No, I don't care. I don't care. Here is what I care about: Those little digital numbers on my Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale.
That's what matters to me.

I want to see if those numbers are going up, or if they are going down.

How about you? Yeah, you the one person left reading this because I have offended everyone.

What do those scale numbers tell you when you step up onto that scale?
If you aren't happy with what you are seeing then are you going to quit pumping food into your mouth?
That's the only way you'll lose that weight.

Oh, I don't have the will power. Oh, OK give me your address, and I'll come sew you mouth shut. Then you'll lose weight.

OH, David you need to be more kind. Can't we just trust you not to hurt our feelings?

Let me tell you something; Diabetes doesn't care about your feelings. It's a very serious illness that has all kinds of complications to include: permanent nerve damage, blindness, heart disease, to name a few.

Oh, but I exercise. That's good for a start. But, if you're packing on twenty or more pounds of jello then you may have some serious problems there. Not to mention you're delusional if you think you look attractive like that.

Oh, I am so mean... Well, go watch "The Biggest Loser." See if they are really any nicer.
I can't understand why anyone would allow themselves to be humiliated like that in public.

It takes all kinds I guess.

Bye for now...

More Weight Loss Diatribe....

Hello weight losing fans....

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 187.4-pounds.

That's down from yesterday. Hmmm...; we'll see how long this lasts.

Yesterday I unleashed some of my thoughts about weight loss. I had a friend tell me that I am mean.

OK... I'm mean. But, how about that disease you're going to contract from being over weight? How about that type-two diabetes that so many people are getting; to include many of my personal family members? Do you think that's any less cruel?

And, I really do get tired of certain people who are clueless about what I am going through thinking that their advise to me matters. It doesn't matter to me. Some of the advise is coming from people who's guts are getting bigger every year since I have known them.

As far as I am concerned no one walks in my shoes. No one walks in your shoes. I am the one who has to say no to the extra food. I am the one who has to put up with the hunger.

That goes for you as well.

I have a friend who makes money off of his blogs. People actually pay for his stuff. To me, it's just more junk that I can add to the junk I already have. What's a T-shirt that says "read books" going to do?

My friend thought that I should turn this blog into a money making blog. Well, I don't care if I make money off of some ones book.

Most of the diet books out there are worthless. Most of the dieting advise is worthless.
Most of the books out there are lying when they say you won't get hungry anymore if you'll eat this or that. BULL>>>>>>>

This morning I woke up at 6 AM. The cats were in my stomach in full force clawing at the insides of my stomach. I was rip roaring hungry. I ate breakfast two hours ago. I am hungry again.

But, again I hear, and read, you can be satisfied with the proper balance of food. Yes, if you'll carefully balance those foods, you'll be satisfied. BULL>>>>>>>

BULL>>>>>>>>>>

I have been at this for three years now. I never, not ever, not ever, ever, never, ever, no not ever got over that struggle with the hunger.

I have a book about nutrition. The book says just eat the right balance of foods, and quit eating when you feel satisfied. BULL>>>>>>>>>>

If I quit eating when I am satisfied then I would blow up like a balloon again in no time at all. It would be months, and then I would have all that weight back on.

Did you know that 70 percent of the people who go on a diet and lose weight, regain it all again with in five years? What does that tell you about much of the weight loss diets advice out there?

It doesn't work.

Here's my advice. Walk away from that meal feeling hungry. Only eat what you need. That would be a small piece of meat, some green vegetables, a small piece of fruit, and maybe a small amount of a carbohydrate like pasta or bread.

We really eat way more than we need to survive. I hate to write that, but my experience has shown this to be true.

Hey, if you don't like what I am writing then go look at someone Else's blog. Go find the information you really think will help you. Yeah, all those words, and all that fluff is going to help you lose that fat hanging on you like a blob.......

Yeah, pump up... Yeah cheer..... Oh I am so excited about losing weight. Yeah, that's until it gets late at night. You'll wake up and you'll feel that groaning in the stomach. Then you'll go to that refrigerator and open it. You'll look for something light and fluffy. It will be just a little midnight snack. Or, you'll open up that peanut butter jar and start spooning out scoops of peanut butter.

You'll rationalize that it won't have that much impact on your weight. I know, I have been there.
Yeah, you'll lose that weight. But, for now, you're hungry.

NOPE suck it up. It SUCKS trying to lose weight and then keep it off. IT SUCKS. I mean it.

Bye for now...

Hello weight losing fans...

I have a question: Did this woman ever have a fat day in her life?

You Didn't Help Me Lose Weight... You Won't Help Me In The Future

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 190.2-pounds.

Today I am going to explain briefly... You Didn't Help Me Lose Weight.

I may get comments in the future that say good job. I may get a call from a "Well Meaning Friend." that tries to give me a pep-talk about weight loss.

Hey you aren't the one laying on my bed craving food. Hey, you aren't the one smelling those fresh cooked donuts. Darn sure you aren't the one who is directing my hands and my mouth for my food consumption.

Your comments are after thoughts. They came after I took the action I needed to lose weight. So, if you think for five seconds I need your input about my weight, then forget it.

This may seem hard. But, you have to lose that weight for you. No one, no one can lose the weight for you.

Here is how you lose weight. Quit piling the food into your mouth. What else has to be said?

Quit filing your coffee with three scoops of sugar. Quit making your instant tea with three or four teaspoons of sugar.

Quit slurping down those fruit drinks all day long then saying I don't eat that much.

Hey moron there are calories in sugar. Hey dope, wise up there are sugar calories in those drinks you keep pouring down your gullet.

And, as for you calling me, or commenting about my good job.... Listen, I did it. Not you. Spare me your interaction.

I don't have to have you there giving me a pep talk folks. I forget most everything anyway. So there.

This is how you have to live with your weight loss problems folks. It's you and that big hamburger and French Fries. It's you and that Big Cinnamon roll. It's not me, you, and that Hamburger.

I am the one who wrestles with that hunger. I am the one who wrestles with the frustration of sacrifice. ME.....

The same goes for you... If you are a fan of this blog. Then face up to the reality that it's you; Mono-E-Mono at that Weight Loss Table.

Bye for now...

Night Hunger Makes It Hard To Sleep

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 189.2-pounds.
That's no change from this time yesterday.

This morning I woke up because someone was making noise outside. It was the same crowd that came in drunk yesterday and I had to call the police.

I thought to myself, it's the middle of the week, don't these people have jobs that they have to be at? I don't think so. I suspect they get welfare checks like the other half of the building that I am in. Yes, I live in a posh suburb that is getting the recipients from the Chicago welfare state moving into the neighborhood.
It's such a wonderful thing. The government takes your money and mine, and then gives it to the dead beats who go out and get drunk at night.

Well, as I was trying to go back to sleep, I was really wrestling with hunger. I wanted to get up and eat something. I just laid there until I finally fell back to sleep.

Bye for now...

I Still Get Very Hungry... Is There Something Wrong With Me?

Hello weight losing fans...

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 189.2-pounds.

That's down some.

Something Must Be Wrong With Me
Today I was talking with someone at work. I saw that he has lost a tremendous amount of weight, as much as 45-pounds.

I think this is great. I asked him what he was doing to lose this kind of weight. He told me that he was doing the Atkins's diet. He said that he had really high blood sugar many months ago, and as a result his job was in jeopardy when he got his physical.

Well, I pressed him to find out how much food he really was eating. He told me that he might eat some scrambled eggs, a piece of sausage and then that would be it for the day. He said his stomach must be shrinking because he doesn't have the desire to eat as much as he did.

I asked him if he ever gets hungry. He said no he never gets hungry anymore. I was simply amazed when I heard that.

I asked him what else he eats. He said he hasn't had any bread for months. He said he has given up on all of the sweets, etc.

Now, here is where I have the problem. I never stopped getting hungry. I also never stopped wanting to eat a big thick piece of chocolate cake. I also have an incredible desire to eat chocolate.

He's not the only one that I have heard have suddenly found they don't get hungry on their diets. Time and time again I have heard the people from certain well known dieting companies boast they feel satisfied with the minuscule meals they are sold for just three or five dollars a meal. One such food company said they can sell you a three meal plan for just $15.00 a day.

Well, that's all well and good. Someone can buy a meal at three dollars a meal. But, one such meal was just a baked potato with sour cream, and shredded cheese on top.

I wrote all of that to say this. I don't believe that my co-worker, or any of these people who are boasting about not being hungry on these carefully planned balanced meals that are advertised on the radio, or TV never get hungry. I just don't believe it.
If that's true, then I want the magical-pixie-dust that's being tossed on top of their food that abates those hunger pains.

I keep getting hungry....

I am wondering if these people who are boasting they don't get hungry anymore, and they are satisfied after a tiny meal are lying. Because I have been losing weight for three years now, and I have never lost my hunger after I eat.

I am also wonder that if these same people were so easily satisfied after eating, the why in the world did they blow up like balloons? It really makes me wonder.

Then it makes me wonder if I myself might have a serious problem, because I can still pack in a big meal in one sitting, and then turn around and get more. I never lost my appetite.

Oh well, I guess I'll never get the answers that I am seeking. I guess I never will get over my incessant hunger, even after three years of trying. I guess I never will get over my craving for a cinnamon bun in the morning, a piece of cake for dessert, and that ever nagging calling candy bar.

I suspect you won't ever get over your hunger either. If you did then you wouldn't be having such an incredible hunger.

Bye for now...
