100 Pound Challenge

I was golfing today and I thought about my condition. I weigh 366 pounds and need to lose this excess weight for my health and well being. So I have decided to create my 100 pound challenge. How can I lose this through Atkins and exercise. I can lose this weight without exercise but then I would be a little fat boy like I see online.

Weigh In

This past week has been horrible for me. I weighed in today at 366 lbs. I ate all wrong this week. I keep eating out at buffets and it's killing me. Today I am back on Atkins.
What I am learning is that I have a hyper sensitivity to carbs thus I will need to keep my carb intake below 30g per day for the rest of my life. I should probably start tracking my food intake and post it here.

Update - State Fair

Visited the Minnesota State Fair today. My once a year indulgence with crappy food. I had made that decision. My weight today was 356 lbs. I am down 35 lbs from my high of 391 lbs.
I did get some numbers today from a health fair inside the fair.

Total Cholesterol - 175
HDL Cholesterol - 39
Body weight % - 38.9% my goal is 20%
Fat weight - 138.4 lbs
Lean weight - 217.6 lbs
Total Body water - 76.21 liters or 47.1%
Body mass index - 48.3

My Est. Heel Bone Mineral Density - .426
T-Score - -1.4 High Risk

Day 1

Started Atkins Induction today. I found myself enjoying it as I decided that I would actually read New Diet Revolution to understand what I was doing. The first thing I discovered was that its not what you think. I find it to be a meat and vegetable way of eating with occasional fruit. I do have the goal of not only losing weight but getting to a natural food lifestyle. I have started to fear all the processed food that is in our diets in America. I think it is the major cause of obesity in America and the leading cause of health issues.

I started the day with bacon and eggs and had beef burgers with peapods and onions. I did make sure I picked up some broccoli. With butter broccoli is quite good.

My starting weight is 373 pounds.

Banting Diet - Revised

William Banting used the low carb diet to get his weight down to normal. Man was never made to eat grains but instead to live under a hunter gatherer lifestyle. So I have decided to experiment and revised Banting's diet into a more 21st Century plan.

Today

I visited a massage parlor today. I have been hitting an Asian place where the girls make me feel I'm special. I also am trying a new internet filter to block porn on my computer. After the trial I am going to have to talk to them about blocking my access to the admin password. As long as I have access to it I can still create a go around. I always feel like shit after I visit these places. I hate to say it but I think because I am spending my money more than what I actually do. I decided that I needed a filter to block my easy access to porn sites. This way I can't do any casual porn surfing.

Today, I thought about cooking a cheesecake. I looked on the low carb websites for a recipe. All I found was recipes made with Splenda. I feel many low carb people are exchanging sugar for a long term problem, which is Splenda. I avoid all artifical sweeteners due to I don't know what the long term consequences will be. I think it really needs to be discussed more than it has been. I did find one recipe on Know the Cause made with avocados and chocolate that looked good.

What Happened?

I have wasted the last five months by eating a never ending supply of fast food. I don't know why? I tried for two months to give up all fast food and I think I succeeded but why today. I was thinking about what makes me nervous so I go out and eat. Emotional eating is not just for women.
