So every week now I have a few ounces of pickles about twice a week (this is less than 30 calories extra per day). This is my pickle confessional. So after the first pickle incident I kept going. I just couldn't help but wonder how 20-30 calories of pickles could make or break my fast. Obviously it isn't affecting my weight loss at all. I found these awesome locally made pickles at central market. They are supper tasty, especially after only eating shakes.
I so just want to start eating again soooo badly. I still have 7 more weeks. I calculated my BMR (basal metabolic rate) for my height, age and target weight...and it comes out to 1950 calories/day. That is the number of calories I can eat in a day and still maintain my weight, and that's doesn't include calories burned during exercise. While I'm sitting here only eating 800 cal/day that number looks so do-able. 1950/5=390 calories per meal (so much more than 160 calories a meal!).
I want to eat, but I'm sticking out the fast. All diets have about the same success rate of loosing and maintaining weight loss(and it's less than quiting smoking...scary huh?) and so it's all about the work you put into it...and if they all have the same success rate I'm sticking with the program with the fastest results. That means 7 more weeks of fast...then I can start my refeed and maintenance.

You know every time you mention pickles I get a craving.... luckily the kids love pickles, so we always have them in the house.
I have a theory that my cat is picking up some of your lost weight. I noticed her belly was hanging over the side of the windowsill the other day. (I've renamed her The Mystery Butter Hunter.) If my theory is correct in 7 more weeks she will not be able to fit on the windowsill anymore. I will not be able to complete the test, however, because my husband is putting her on a kitty diet. He just can't imagine her not being able to lay in the windowsill sun. (I wonder where her lost weight will go.)
