Getting to 180.6

♪♪I'm a hungry teapot, tall yet stout
Got to lose a lot of weight to get a surgery
When I get all hungry, hear me pout
If you've got food then get the hell out♪♪

Perhaps it needs a little work, but—whatever. I have already embarked on this mission to lose weight as soon as possible in preparation for surgery. Today is day 1. I went from an uncontrolled diet (note the difference between uncontrolled and unhealthy) to a COMPLETELY controlled diet. Six times a day, about 2.5-3 hours between "meals," I drink a high protein meal replacement that is geared toward putting my body in a ketonic state. Essentially, we're tricking it into burning fat. I worked out today for a bit too—lifting weights with Phil. I hope to keep better track of exactly what I do.

It's about an hour before shake #4 of day #1. Maybe these things need a dating system—I'll refer to things as 1.4 (day 1, shake 4) or 22.6 (day 22, shake 6). Six months—180 days of this, or less. I think I can make it. I know I can make it.

But I'm very hungry. VERY very hungry. I sigh every now and then because my stomach is aching, and I feel like I've eaten balloons.

Promises:
  • I will to be posting daily, maybe more than once daily. Feel free to be encouraging as often as possible. (The promise here is that I'm going to keep up with this blog)
  • I'll let you know when I slip off the bandwagon. But it isn't a bandwagon. It's a lonely wagon.
My stomach hurts. 45 minutes until my first banana.
