4/26 Weightloss Wednesday: Yikes! A Step Backwards!
It’s Weightloss Wednesday! This has been a weird week. After finally reaching my goal of 210 last week, I have done nothing but gain weight this week. Looking at the app that tracks my weight, it has been a all over the map. At one point I was as high as 220 and this morning I was at 215.6 lbs. Like I said, it’s been a weird week.
The main thing that has changed is I have just been ravenously hungry this week. I have eaten 3 very large meals most days this week and even a few desserts. While it has all been ketogenic…mostly, it has been surprising how much I have eaten. Just crazy hungry and after almost 3 years of feeling little to no hunger, it’s been an odd experience. I don’t really know what has been happening but since my policy has always been to eat whenever I am hungry, I’ve just been going with it.
In other news, this is week 5 of working with my kettlebells. It has been nice and I’m wondering if it’s been a reason for the hunger but I’ve exercised before and not felt hungry so I’m not entirely sure.
Eh, whatever. It’s all good I guess. I just need to get back to where I am losing weight.
How are you doing this week? let me know in the comments.

I know that a couple of my friends who are very successful weightlosers began experiencing the same hunger 2-3 years after they started on their weightloss journey. Food that had made them feel satisfied did no longer sustain them. Two of them started eating more and have unfortunately gain back a lot of their weight. One persisted but she says that she does have to fight cravings and hunger again. I have read about this in other places. It seems like our bodies just want to fight back after a couple of years. Persist ans resist!
Yeah, I’m not going back. I had someone in my FB group ask a few questions and I realized that I ran out of Stevia last week and had been using Sweet n Low in my tea at night and I’m wondering if there is a connection. All I know is that I’m not going back to who I was.
