I love talking about weight loss achievements and goals. It gets really juicy when we talk about sliding back on them and how we take responsibility for them and get right back up knowing there is no shame, only the human experience.

I lost 100 pounds last year and wanted to lose another 50 or so. I look really good in the 170 range wearing size 30's.

Then tragedy happened. The trucking industry was going through a flux and my miles were cut in half. We were struggling financially. That's when Mom was obviously going downhill enough to have us all worried.

So, I moved back "temporarily" to help out , set things straight, and ease our financial woes. Things were worse than expected when we got here.

One thing led to another and now I'm kinda stuck with no income waiting on the health care system that is fast as the speed of smell. We are rapidly running out of savings but Mom is in much better shape with her meds and doctor visits being fixed.

This whole time I've been eating my stress and gained back over 30 pounds. It's been eating at me too. This last week I've been practicing the 24 hour fasting as the diet choices are a nonstarter due to budgeting. That is seeming to work.

Coffee in the morning with nothing till dinner and I'm trying to cut back on portions. Hard to do while starving. I need more protein to stave off the hunger.

Holy Crap! Wall of text. Sorry folks.

But keep up the attempts, K. They will eventually out number the failures. And keep talking about it. Silence is a killer. All ears here.

Oh, gosh, M! I'm so sorry! If you don't mind, I'd like to make a few comments. But first, NOTHING I'm about to say is meant as a criticism.

Your mom must be on Social Security. Does this allow your family to buy food for the month? Are there food banks you can visit? Does your mom (or you) have SNAP benefits? I know the social safety nets are in chaos right now. Some states do better than others.

Now, as to fasting. If you're not providing your body with enough protein, it will cannibalize from your muscles. Try buying beans and brown rice in bulk if you can. Get the dried beans. Look for them in bulk bins or at the Dollar Store. Brown rice has a low glycerin index and, when mixed with beans, makes a complete protein. It will fill you up, provide protein and fiber, and stave off hunger. See if you can get vegetable boxes from local farms. Eating local improves your gut biome.

You can make stews with cheap cuts of protein. A large pot will feed you for days. Cooking a chuck roast low and slow in liquid makes it delicious! Save your bones to make stock. Cooking the bones long enough will cause the minerals and bone marrow to leach out. This is so beneficial for you.

Try to get out for walks daily. Stress raises your cortisol level which makes you hungry. It's a vicious cycle. Getting some exercise every day can break this cycle.

I'm not a nutritionist or a dietitian. I do know a thing or two about dieting, however. I wish there was something else I could do for you! 🫂🫂🫂

I switched to a super healthy (and very enjoyable) anti-inflammatory diet after three bouts of Covid triggered pain all over my body linked to arthritis.

The pain mostly went away and the happy by-product was a significant loss in weight.

Happy to share how I did it.

Cut out sugar and all processed foods, and mainly eat meals with high veggie content plus fish and chicken for protein. (I had to cut out acidic foods that caused pain, including tomatoes, red peppers and chillis, plus a few other things including red wine).

Carbs at weekends only.

Make loads of tasty green veggie soup, mainly from frozen veg including onions, spinach, cabbage, sprouts, kale, leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, plus loads of peas to thicken it up, and add a fresh bag of watercress a few minutes before mixing it up with a stick blender. Also add any salad ingredients that are nearing their sell-by date.

I add veggie stock and loads of herbs and spices (garlic, ginger, turmeric, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme etc) to give it loads of flavour.

Eating "five a day" is a myth. If you play loads of sport, like i do, you need 15 a day! This soup delivers that.

It also makes your digestive system ruthlessly efficient!

I may be getting a cat. My friend has a stray that showed up. She used to be the head of the Humane Society in the county she lived in. So he is very friendly, can be pet and picked up, so she thinks he was dumped. About a year old. And he wants to come in. So she's going to catch him, and then take him to get spayed his shots and check for feline leukemia. I will keep you posted

He is super skinny, so she is feeding him, and set him up with a box in the shed. She is currently a dog sitting a dog that is not cat friendly, so she is leaving Thursday and that is when she will bring the cat inside. Apparently he's had some kind of human contact cuz he's very friendly. I'll send you a pic here in a sec

I have been moving towards more vegetables in my diet as well and noticed an improvement. I recommend that to everyone.
