I’ve been feeling like I’m spiraling lately. Just had a long conversation with my wife, and by the end we concluded that most of my mood impactors at the moment are things that I’m anxious about. What does this tell me? Well, it tells me that there is more attention to be paid about counteracting the ruminating thought loops.

Also feeling stressed because today I weigh 200lbs again. According to my goal, I want to stay BELOW 200 lbs, if possible, in order to maintain the benefit of weight loss after stopping zepbound. I spent a lot of days this week having unhealthy food. This last week I ate:

• an enormous breakfast feast
• a five-guys burger and a milkshake
• a bowl of ribeye steak ramen and a bowl of ice cream
• several squares of chocolate
• a box of chocolate cookies
• a cheesesteak
• a large soft pretzel
• etc.

Its not a great thing, to deviate from a dietary format that I thought was sound. This next week I will try and do my best to keep things “regular” to my prior diet. That includes:

• breakfast of kefir
• banana snack before lunch
• 500 cal (about two fists) of lunch
• 800 cal (about three fists) of dinner

Tonight I feel much more relaxed, after recognizing that a lot of my stress appears to be anticipatory. We can safely reduce that.
