Tuesday and I am dreaming about Friday already!!
Let's see. I did make it through one entire day the Dr. Kruse way. I was sorely tempted to eat later in the evening as I started not to feel well. Instead, I decided to go to bed. Guess I was coming down with a Migraine because I woke about an hour later really not feeling well. I did finally get back to sleep and feel okay this morning.
My plan is to stay focused on Dr. Kruse's counsel about focusing on leptin sensitivity and see what happens from there. That will take me into the end of November. I need to give it some time and resist the temptation to continually change up things because I am frustrated.
The scale did decline slightly this morning but I am still well above my weight here (210.4 this morning). It is what it is ... and I am still going to wait to record here until I have a new low, however long that may take.
I was reading Health magazine yesterday evening and found an article about "self-compassion." Who knew that what I have been talking about for more than 2 years, here on fatsecret, is actually a characteristic they are conducting research about and have discovered is linked to "dieting" success!
I know it is difficult to believe but I don't know what else to say today. I think I just have too many work things on my mind.
So ... let's skip right to gratefulness.
1. I am grateful my medication finally kicked in last night and I was able to get back to sleep.
2. I am grateful for the deep, rich, fall colors this year ... when the sun hits those leaves it nearly takes my breath away!!
3. I am grateful for the knowledge that my worth is not dependent on the number on the scale.
4. As strange as this may sound ... I am grateful for the sound of my husband's snoring ... reminding me he is still here (the cancer has not taken him from me!!!)
5. I am grateful for morning coffee!!!
And on I go ... continuing to practice kindness towards myself ... a full time job these days!!! Now that I know this is being "researched" I can rest on my laurels right?!! LOL!!! I know how important it is for myself and how easily I can slip into self depracation. I love my body, I like myself, and I am responsible for myself.
Have a day full of kindness towards yourselves!!

Morning, Carol...great job with the plan yesterday. I am just the opposite, I am always scared to change things, since I am always afraid it will start the cravings again, and I will go on a binge. Sheesh, I sound like an alcoholic, but that is what sugar and carbs are like for me! Hope your day is successful once again, and congrats on the scale moving downward. Have a great day, my beautiful, smart, compassionate, amazing, 50 something friend!

i think my desire to switch things up right now is because (shhh ... don't tell anyone this) I am a little panicked that nothing seems to be working to get the scale to budge. When I started here almost 3 years ago the weight almost melted off in a fairly short period of time. Now? Well, it just hangs on ... even when I went back to doing what I did when I started!! I just need to settle in and relax. Trust the process. Remember that I am worthwhile at 180 lbs or 210 and all spots inbetween!! Thanks Stef ... for being my friend!!!

Carol, I understand that...I am in the same boat. I am reading Wheat Belly right now...so much information about the foods we eat, coming from so many "experts", it boggles the mind. But this book may hold a key to what has truly changed in the last 30 or so years. And why we have such a hard time giving up our wheat products. And thanks for being my friend...you have taught me so much about practicing kindness toward myself. Perhaps you should contact those people doing the study and tell them this is old news to you! lol Hugs!

"Wheat Belly"-sounds like the story of my life! Lol. Seriously. Gosh Moose-I am sorry the scale is being such a bastard. You know what they say "Don't let the bastard get you down!" I love your list today. SU is a snorer and I am grateful for the first five minutes and then I kick him out of bed. :)

What's dr Kruse in a nutshell-?? ha- are you allowed nuts?? Is it the low carb no moring exercise one?? I know what you mean about the husband snoring. I feel most fortunate to hear mine- I completely identify with the diet story. The things I used to do meant I lost weight- no when I try them they're useless and the scale doesn't budge. I am back to the beginning. Wish I was seeing more of a drop on the scale but down is the dirction I want so...we'll take it an ounce at a time. have a great night and HANG IN THERE!!! You are so worth it : )

Yes Sharon I do believe I am permitted nuts ... as long as it is during a meal time!! Dr. Kruse is the neurologist who recommends The Primal Blueprint who talks about leptin resistance and sensitivity. He says NO SNACKING between meals and at least 50 grams of protein in the morning!!! And he does say NO WORKING OUT during the 4-6 week Leptin Reset. (But don't tell him I am still doing my Pilates!!!!) Thanks for the encouragement ... I'm gonna hang in there ... cooking a roast and steamed cabbage and I'm STARVED!!!!

After a while you will not be hungry between meals. Most days now it takes about 7 hours at least before I am hungry - which for me is unheard of!
I don't think he is a huge fan of nuts, he does talk about the omega 6/3 ratios quite a bit. But don't quote me LOL

Very interesting experiment indeed, I'm going to read carefully your food diary I'm curious about this plan! Take your time, give your body a chance to adapt to this new diet, end of November is not so far away. One day at the time, you will do it!
