Yesterday, motivated to just ‘slow down’ on the compulsive eating and lack of exercise, I only drank 🥛 protein drinks and I did a 5 mile 🏃🏾♂️ run.
This combination always allows me to drop a lot of water weight. Carbs and excessive protein turn into glucose and that glucose is stored in my liver and muscles as glycogen, and every gram of glycogen requires 3 to 4 grams of water to bind the glycogen to muscle tissue (using hydrogen bonding).
So, reducing my glycogen reserves and minimizing my carb intake causes a weight reduction. That would be great if all those carbs only turned into glycogen, but a lot of those carbs and excess protein get turned to fat 😆.
I can see (in my gut and face and neck), and feel the extra fat on my body. I know it will take weeks of my usual up and down water weight gain and loss cycles for it to slowly go back down.
💦 I wish I could just fast 11 days like I have done in the past, but, no way I can find that willpower, not enough motivation. I was more motivated when I was 40-50 pounds over my BMI wight, not 8 pounds like I am now...
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!

@Draglist - Thanks! I got a rapid drop after vacation the same way you did 👍🏾. However, while it is measured in only ounces, I know my 'net fat storage' went *up*. The only way I can move it *down* is at least a week of low carb and extensive exercise... I just need to find the motivation Haha!

@erikahollister - Yeah I have been 'stuck' in the 170s for 5 months (sigh). Every time I make progress and drop to my BMI weight, a holiday hits and I go off the diet and gain 😜

@erikahollister - Seriously! I should just be grateful for all the free time, but, I complain that it is causing weight gain. The majority of the people in the world are scratching their heads at my insane attitude :)

I've noted it gets harder the closer you are to goal..any goal.

@Alnona - Yes that is true with me. What is also true with me is that my 'motivation' is always based on a 'fear'. Before it was the fear of turning 50 and being harder to ever lose the weight. Now, it is just hard-to-get-motivated! So, the 'closer to the goal' the 'less fear' that I will achieve it? Or, perhaps just simply less motivation to hit the goal? You really can't 'see' the 8 pounds I would still like to lose when my clothes are on...

This is what is happening with me, I also want a motivation to lose the rest of my goal, people, they tell me that I look thin and I have no increase at all. But in fact I know that if I stop fasting, deficit calories and limit carbohydrates at least to 50 g, it will not work. I also want the former motivation which is the fear of being overweight again

@Safa'a Lifestyle - Yes, well at least we know that the 'motivation' will 'come back' Haha!

Hope you can figure out and fix the compulsive eating. You do so well with your running and the fasting.
