Just my opinion
Pardon me while I complain, because you're going to hear a lot of it over the next month. This blog is for me; I complain to get it out; read it if you want; click on to some other site and don't come back if you do not.
I'll keep this particular ramble short. This is based on my experience. People vary, and I am not especially big (bigger people have reported different experiences and all sorts of people have reported bull$hit accounts otherwise...) Here goes: While people love to obsess over what they're going to eat while they're on a diet, and entire magazines are devoted to it - nay, entire industries - and zillions of dollars are spent by people trying to buy an easy way out - well... if you're going to lose weight, while you still get to eat *something* each day (lest you die of starvation) - you'd better get used to basically not eating.
In other words, fancy it up all you want by talking about what you're going to eat. In the end, it's a whole lot of NOT eating. It's about not eating. (I just repeated myself.) You don't eat a lot more than you do eat.
It sucks; it's not fun; it works. It's something that has to be endured. Show me the person who says, "...and I was never hungry" and I'll call that person a liar or someone who has not lost any weight.
Maybe it's different for others- whatever - but at my weight, to take a pound off means eating about 1/4 of what I would like to eat, and probably about 1/3 of what I would normally eat.
Over and out.
Calories today: 1,427, and I could easily eat double that and not feel that I overindulged.

A day for the mistake books
This was posted on a different day but pertains to Thursday, July 17th.
Thursday was a difficult day and I did not restrain myself from eating something late in the day that threw me very far over. Let's see what happens if/when I am able to stick to a more reasonable goal. So here it is, for the books: 2,140
Interesting, when one dietary lapse throws me that far over, to think what I had been consuming when not even trying to restrict calories, and when basically staying the same, weight-wise, for a long time. A quick guess on my part would put it well above 2,500.
That said, I have taken another average for the last 30 days, and it was around 1,700. This is not enough to bring weight down. Either I bring it down and lose a few pounds or I end this project. Simple as that. It looks like this is a summer-long project now.
