At the 2 month mark, 6/4, I weighed 277. Last Sunday I weighed 280 and now I'm at 273. Summer is a frustrating time to lose weight if watching the scale is your main motivation. My hydration level makes a large difference in the scales. Hydration wasn't the issue with the weight loss stall. I'm not 100% sure but I think eating more tree nuts may have had an effect on that. I had been eating pecans for breakfast instead of eggs. After consulting the aldeer experts regarding the plateau I ate more carbs for 2 days. After doing that I ate no carbs for 2 days. Nothing but meat and eggs like I did when I first started. I also cut my calories down to under 1500 per day for most of the week. The weight loss didn't start back until maybe Tuesday. A couple of days in a row the scales dropped 2 pounds per day. The scale swings due to hydration are mostly happening on or after Saturdays because I spend all day outside working. My mindset is continuing to improve. It's still amazing to me that less than 3 months ago I lived to eat and now food isn't a focus at all. I'm getting much closer to only viewing food as fuel. I'm past craving anything other than salty food after physical exertion. That's a metabolic/physiological craving so it's not really a food craving. That just means I need electrolytes. I don't crave potato chips or pretzels now when I crave salt. I want dill pickles now. I don't stress eat or boredom eat anymore. I'm focusing less on short term and thinking more long term. It gets better every day.
