finally after a week
Yeah I know it has been a week and I still haven’t posted. To be honest I started this post a few times but then I let it go another day or two and totally forgot my thought processes. So I will be posting today. Time for the week wrap up. As you know on Tuesday of last week I went to my cousins, but what you don’t know is that after I was there for the night, I also then spent a few hours at my Oma’s(grandmas) and then spent another night at my brothers. The point of bring this up is because it was the first time I ever really had to deal with temptation in the diet. At my cousin’s house, I thought it wouldn’t be that difficult to find food to eat because my aunt was on a similar diet. This was to a point true, minus a few things, but the real issue was that there was also plenty of food I wasn’t allowed to eat. I can guarantee that some of that food I really wanted to have. Another issue I had at my aunts house was caused by my own fault. I didn’t have enough protein there which made me get a headache among other things. The house that had to have the most temptations at was my Oma’s. At my Oma’s I was kind of used to being able to eat all the food I wanted when I was over there. Alougth this time I wasn’t able to eat any of the food there, And worse of all they had almost no fruits or veggies there so I had to leave before the next meal. I did have a snack though and I cleared out all the fruits they had there. My Oma had some cantaloupe. I ate all of it. Then I left there to go find food about a hour later. Then I went to the store and bought some eggs, nuts, and a bunch of fruit to make sure I could live the final night at my brothers. Before I got to my brothers, I ate some of the nuts and a banana because that is right around the time I started to realize that I was having some protein issue. Then when I went to my brothers, I pretty much had eggs for my last meal/snack. Then in the morning guess what I had, More eggs/fruit. I had The same for lunch. So by the time I got home (Friday night) I was tired of eggs and tired of the diet.
Saturday morning had interesting results. I didn’t lose a pound over the three day trip. That kind of depressed me a little. Also Saturday morning was the day my mom and me where going to start dairy, and seeing how I did with wheat. I was not optimistic. It turned out that I had the right to be thinking this way because come Sunday afternoon I had to call it quits, a day before we were supposed to stop testing. Dairy made me bloated, gassy, gain 2 pounds and an odder thing was that it made me feel hungry no matter how full I was. I mom brought this up to me after we were testing. Before mom and I started this diet, We always complained about how we couldn’t tell if we were full of not. I guess that maybe it was because of the dairy.
Finally on Monday I woke up feeling better it was like I body knew I wasn’t going to eat poison (dairy) anymore. I had lost the two pounds I gained, and all symptoms where starting to go away. Then today finally ended on a good note after not losing weight for a week I lost 3 pounds. Bring me down to 327. I’m finally in the 320s range. I haven’t been this light in a year.
(sorry for the roughness of this post I am tired after work and probably sucked at editing.)

Hey Aaron
I know that I’m probably one of the last people that you want to hear from, but since you know me, and therefore you know that I tend to be hard-headed, opinionated, stubborn and nosy, I hoped that you would understand. I think that what you (and your mother) are working on is incredibly courageous, because it takes a lot of ambition to accomplish that you two are trying to. Trust me, after 18 years of watching both of my parents struggle with their weight I know that I wouldn’t be able to accomplish the same goal.
PS – Your blog could use a conclusion, just fyi.
