I know that doesn't look like much of a difference since my last recorded weight was almost 2 months ago but i still have a LOT of edema from my hips down so this weight means I've actually lost quite a bit of fat. My broken bed whose head will no longer raise has been the problem. Because of my spine, I can't lay flat on my back long enough for the swelling to go down and it doesn't go down when i lay on my side. So I've had to be up a lot which of course causes more swelling.

Anyway, i got one of those medical wedges yesterday to keep me from laying flat and i think over time that is going to help get rid of much of the swelling. I hope it does. My stomach is smaller and squishier. From my hips up i can see a difference.

I hope y'all have been doing well. I'm still eating like usual.i haven't been logging lately but my meals have pretty much kept the same rotation from week to week. I've discovered golden flake makes a pork rinds flavor with the same seasoning as my favorite potato chip so that was exciting :-)

What have y'all been up to?

Will have to figure out how to add fat to this but otherwise it tasted very good. I'll add more spinach next time. I actually enjoyed it in this. Sorry my tablet takes poor pictures.

For those who check your blood sugar, how often do you do it please? And when you check it after you eat, do you start timing from the time you take your first bite or your last bite? Especially wondering about the timing when you check it in 30 minutes. 30 minutes steer the first bite may mean we slow eaters would still be eating the same meal.Do any of y'all with severe insulin resistance check your blood sugar?

For other Intermittent Fasters, what do you do if you eat a small amount (like 20% of your average daily intake)when your feeding window opens but then don't get hungry again before your window closes? Do you just have that 20% for that day instead of your typical amount?

My MRI: For one, they only did my lumbar, not thoracic or cervical. I know I also have problems there but (probably) not the same. I also know it will be a long long time before i consider ever having another MRI again.

"The marrow signal is heterogeneous in appearance and decreased intensity on T1-weighted images." My doctor didn't say anything about that part of the report so i don't know how concerning that is.

i have diffuse disc bulge with all of my lumbar vertebrae as well as L5-S1.
I also have ligamentous and facet hypertrophy present with effacement of thecal sac with severe thecal sac stenosis. Also there is severe bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing.

And with L5-S1, in addition to the rest, there is, with the diffuse disc bulge, contact of the left exiting nerve root with the disc.

And I have what they believe to be a cyst that they think is on my kidney. I have PCOS so i would have thought it would be on my ovary. They didn't say anything else about that.

So lots of big words. I knew the meanings of individual parts of many of them but had to look up the meaning of those fragments put together. With the severe stenosis she said she could refer me to a surgeon, but realistically no one is going to operate on me right now. Maybe after i lose some more weight. Back surgery scares the pee out of me anyway. Some of these things happening to me can also cause paralysis though.

I don't have a lot of options at the moment. But what's meant to be will happen.

My macros are a mess today. I didn't start to get hungry till an hour before my eating window closes and i discovered what i had planned to eat had gone bad so i had to just toss something together and as often happens, I didn't have enough fat. Ah well.

I hope y'all had positively eventful days and have a peaceful night.

Turning 50 feels surreal. A lot of cognitive dissonance going on for me right now. Weighed today then went out to eat. The scale said i had lost 3.6 pounds but with my bed broken i don't have my feet up as much so i have more swelling than in recent weeks. Not sure what I'm going to do about that. This last week I've really been able to tell I've lost weight, especially in my stomach and arms.

I finished eating about an hour ago and I'm already really hungry which never normally happens during my feeding window. It wasn't until i input my food so far for the day that i realized i had not considered my fat intake when deciding what to get. I should have asked for butter for the vegetables. I ate a third of a piece of cheesecake that is supposed to be sugar free and I actually tried some salad stuff. Something must have really spiked my insulin. I should have saved the salad until after i had eaten my protein. I learned cucumbers taste like the rind of a watermelon, black olives are too salty when not cooked in something, grape tomatoes still taste like raw tomato, and baby spinach with boiled egg and honey mustard dressing is delicious.
So next time, ask for butter, save the salad for last, and pass on the sugar free dessert and make something dessert like myself when i get home if I want something. Also, I think i should invest in a glucometer. Mine is packed away somewhere, likely to never be seen again.

I am so thankful for my way of eating. I sure don't have this intense painful hunger when i eat my usual way and i sure don't enjoy having it. I don't feel anywhere near this way when i fast for 20 hours on lchf. Yet one hour after i eat differently(not off plan eating but not matching my macros) I get hungry again, intensely so, like i might get sick if i don't eat again soon. To think this was how i felt much of my life. Kinda sad about that but at least i don't have to stay that way.
