Today it's my second month. It seems forever but after I saw the results yesterday on a picture, I guess it is worth it all the way.
Yay!

Day 56 - The Itchy and Scratchy show
Early morning today, I have been feeling itchy all around my face and shoulders.
I have no idea why, since I haven't used any cream at all.
I am still paranoid about the nopales from that restaurant.
I'll have it checked tomorrow.
Today I have been feeling particularly hungry, I crave everything and want to abort the diet.
I am angry about the exercise. I know I have to do it. It's just so difficult.

Day 55 - Cupcakes and Strawberries
I have NO idea why I am feeling this urge to buy food for other people.
Not any food.
Cupcakes and Strawberries.
It's crazy I know, but it's like I need to do it. I smell the cupcakes and the chocolate flavored ones are really looking yum.
It's not that I'm masochistic, I really do not know why I am I doing this.
Although I can handle it, it's just crazy.

Day 54 - Paranoid
I have been craving for the restaurant nopales. Badly. and I have returned to the old habits again. Instead of buying natural ones on the supermarket, I go and splurge on the restaurant ones.
I did this on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Now I'm feeling extremely paranoid, cause I found a piece of melted cheese between two of the nopales. I did not ate it but my mind began to wander with "what if's":
- What if it has more grease?
- What if this brings me out of Ketosis?
- What if I gain weigh?
So Paranoid. Still I will pay ANYTHING for that delicious restaurant flavour.
I have NO expectations at all for the weigh in on monday.
That's how paranoid I am.

Day 53 - Anyone Hungry? NOT ME!!!
So today I left home early, it's the first time in months I dared to use jeans with out a cover, meaning no blazer or sweater or anything else. Just my blouse.
AND
It's the first time in more than one year I went to a friends house to have lunch (well, to see her eat lunch along with her family which INCLUDED CHOCOLATE CAKE).
Her house is two hours away from here. And I did a horrible mistake.
I did not take enough envelopes.
It was an unplanned visit, and I was already half way there, so I thought there would be veggies I could eat with my organe drink.
There wasn't.
But I did not felt hungry AT ALL.
Ketosis mode: ON
Of course, I came running back home and had my veggies and soup, but I felt good going out and being again with tridimentional people.
I fell good.

Day 52 - Exercise
So I went to the diet doctor and he only reassured to me I had to exercise.
Have no choice if I want to speed the process.
Tomorrow I will go and see where can I do this.
By the way, I am in TOTAL Ketosis. I am not hungry at all, and not feeling any anxiety like I used to.

Day 51 - Weigh In
Frustration and more frustration. I just cannot help it. I just want to go FASTER!
2.2 Pounds less for this week.
Februray 18 - 194.8
April 08 - 170.4
Day 50 - Serenity Now!
Today I finally went to the endocrynologyst. I have always said that going to the doctor and taking your lab results is like a college exam, you don't know if you are going to fail monumentally or pass with an A+.
It seems I approved. Besides my Uric Acid, which is up by two points, everything is excellent, including the glucose levels.
Im happy. I guess.
No. I am NOT happy. Yes, I accept the fact health is the most important thing, but now I have reached that point in the diet I just want to get over with. I am getting bored and fed up (no pun intended).
My first question to the Dr. was: ¿Is it true I will be loosing the 8 kilos -16 pounds- every month as the diet Dr. told me?
- No, that statistic works only for men. Women loose weight slower and it depends, ¿have you been excercising?
- ....no.....
- Well, there you go, you need to exercise AT LEAST three times a week for 20/30 minutes, and then your metabolism will go faster (he said this to me as he wrote on his computer report: Sedentary.
OH well... if I want to loose the weight I am expecteing weekly, I will have to go to the gym. I will ask my friend if I can go with her that way I'll feel more pressured to go.
Hate it.
Hate the diet
Hate being fat
Hate everything right now.
Yes I have issues with the gym. Since I was 18.
SERENITY NOW!!!!

Day 49 - Trapped in her own body
So today I was zapping on TV. 1000 channels and NOTHING to watch. Until I saw the Discovery Channel.
I don't know if today was the "killer Pounds" Marathon, but the title caught my eye and I left the channel there.
OH
MY
GOSH!
I think I shouldn't have done that!!
I will not go int details, BUT, amongst the 5 shows I saw, the last one was the most impressive.
There was a lady (Dominique Lanoise) who was 600 pounds and desperately requested for a Bypass surgery. She was desperate for one because she had been in bed for the last two years and could not move.
She struggled, doctors helped her to loose weight, but it was too difficult for her -I could totally relate to this- after 10 months she finally looses 125 pounds which made her available for the operation. The doctor said to her, she would be going to the hospital on the following weeks.
On those few weeks (and I STILL do not know why), she gained again the 120 pounds already lost!!
The health doctor looked up for another doctor who could make the operation on her 625 pound body. And they operated.
After the operation, she would not stop eating, and she died two weeks later.
I was so moved with that story. So hurtful. She ate to death literally. She just could not stop.
And that made me reconsider.
I have been waiting for the diet to end so I can eat everything I like, and I even pictured myself bingeing.
After these shows, I decided I want to live a long healthy life, and this effort I am doing is incredible and I should appreciate it. I MUST learn how to eat and I MUST understand food can also lead you to your own death.
Scary, but it was a wake up call.
Video HERE
Day 48 - Another Doctor's Point of View
Today I went to buy more food.
I asked this new doctor ¿how realistic is the 16 pounds a month weigh loss? She commented it was "too optimistic", people's body are different and weigh loss vary from person to person.
- So, I won't be loosing the corresponding 16 pounds this month?
- You will probably loose 10 to 12 pounds, and that's GOOD. You are doing fine.
So I finally understood, I won't be loosing that ammount of pounds this month, but still loose more. I feel this explanation was good because then I will not feel that frustrated every time I weigh myself.
Not.

Today there is nothing really to tell. As boring as my life.
Just posting to keep a daily track

Day 45 - Not hungry
I have stopped feeling hungry and anxious. I even made sandwiches for my cousin!!! and didn't even feel tempted. At all.
The motivation is kicking in.
I tried the bread again, I wanted to do it like tortilla chips, but..
IT'S LIKE PLASTIC!!!
So it didn't worked out.
Sadly I still have lots and lots of envelopes I just do not like. I will try taking them to the doctors office and see if people wants them. I'll exchange them or sell them for half the price!!
LOL!
Tuesday, April 2, 2013
Day 44 - Thirsty
Feeling peculiarly thirsty since last night. I have been drinking lots of water, but not "lots of water" cause they say too much is dangerous. But I have this feeling of dryness in my mouth like I'm in the desert.
Not a nice sensation at all.
Monday, April 1, 2013
Day 43 - Weigh in
So today I had NO expectations at all.
Just went towards the scale and got up.
I had no idea how much I had lost after I looked at the scale numbers.
2.6 pounds less. Ok I guess. I have surpassed the 20 pound barrier.
Let´s do some math:
Supposedly, I should be loosing 4 pounds per week, which means I should have lost by today 24 pounds.
Not the case.
I know I am very strict on this matter, but when the Dr. says I should be loosing 16 pounds a month.... it just doesn't add up! That's the frustration. Still I am going down...
The numbers for today are:
Februray 18 - 194.8
April 01 - 172.6
Total pounds lost in 42 days: 22.2 pounds. (10.069 kilos)
Lost 1/3 of my extra weigh.
Sunday, March 31, 2013
Day 42 - Waiting
Waiting for tomorrow, for the weigh in.
Today I am not that passionate about the weigh loss.
I just want to avoid frustration....
Saturday, March 30, 2013
Day 41 - Restaurants and Restaurants
Today, in an unplanned day, I ended up with friends eating at restaurants.
No, not eating. Watching.
At lunch, my four friends ordered this massive plate with meats, cheese, nopales and more meat!! OHH MY LORD! The smell almost made me jump inside it and gobble up E-VERY-THING.
But no.
I asked for a cup of hot water, poured my soup envelope and drank it. Also, I asked for mineral water.
I could cope with that big test.
Then at night, we went to a TACOS restaurant. I wanted to cry, I only had an orange drink envelope and that would not be enough!!
I remembered the had nopales there, so I ordered 3 plates. One after the other. But it calmed my anxiety and the hunger I felt.
I think I am handling it good so far.
Let's see on monday how the weigh in goes.
Friday, March 29, 2013
Day 40 - Liquid food
So, I knew this time would come, where I would finally realize I'm just eating liquids. Besides vegetables, all the envelopes I consume are liquid. Soup, maltshakes and juices.
I am not complainig, but I will soon need solids again.
This weekend I will try and do the other envelopes I did not like in another way to see if the texture and flavour changes.
❤❤ I really hope this blog helps other people around the world, who are doing this diet. ❤❤
Outrageous!: I foud out there is no Pronokal in other countries in America. Just Mexico. I think I could get a franchise for Argentina... LOL!

Day 39 - Hungry Eyes
Today I had to run a few errands, like going to the supermarket and pharmacy for the corresponding items.
I hated every minute of it. I saw the chocolates on the candy isle and the chocolates near the cashier.
I suffered, imagineing the flavour and taste of each and every one of them.
HORRIBLE FEELING
Although I knew I could binge on every single one of them, I knew I just couldn't eat and break the ketosis. Really, that is the ONLY thing that's stopping me right now.
Eventhough I had on my purse a chicken noodle soup and orange drink envelope, my mouth salivated like a rabid dog thinking of chocolates. THOSE chocolates.
I ate the soup, drank the orange drink and kept it calm for a while.
Then I came home and saw delicious cookies called "Garabatos" my family had bought. No mercy at all. But I still had to hold on tight and ran for a maltshake. I prefered to eat one extra envelope that eat something I shouldn't.
It's getting harder and harder each day. I'm ending my fifth week on sunday, just eleven more weeks to go, or 89 days, but ¿who's counting?.
Day 38 - Forbidden Fruit
So today for the first time, I craved fruit. A tangerine to be more specific.
I returned to Pronokal Headquarters to see if the maltshakes had arrived.
And they had.
So I bought 4 6-packs and exchanged NEW boxes I had bought last week. I'm getting tired of Nuggets and Potato cream, so I changed them for chicken noodle soup and orange drinks.
So, I ended with only soups and drinks. I don´t know if this is going to be good, but It's what I like right now.
Sometimes I look back at the old envelopes I have in storage and couldn't be exchanged. I add up the $$ I spent and It's a lot.
I am seriously considering eating them somewhere near the future.
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Day 37 - Ice Ice Baby
So today I discovered the pleasure of ice on a blender with an envelope of Chocolate drink or orange drink.
SCRUMPTIOUS!
It ws like a frappe, and it totally gives a different texture to the drink, making it velvety and just like a thick maltshake.
The orange one remembered me of the oldie 80's drink: "Orange Julius"
Yes indeed.

Day 36 - Weigh In
Woke up.
Today I did NOTjumped out of bed and ran towards the scale.
I had ABSOLUTELY NO EXPECTATIONS WHATSOEVER.
Got the scale out and saw my weight.
I was so asleep, I saw my weight but did not understood how many pounds I had lost. I didn't had my chart anywhere near to see the difference.
Then I saw it.
Then I got the scale out again and weighed again.
YESSSSS!

I feel a small happiness growing inside me.

Day 35 - Sssssllllloooooowwwww
Days are going REAL SLOW. It seems sometimes I live just to eat vegetables and diet. today is NOT a good day. Tomorrow is weigh in day, I hope I lost more pounds.
.
Day 34 - ¿Again? (and again and again and again)
Just getting tired of the same food over and over again!
But I'm scared of trying new things and not liking them.
.
Friday, March 22, 2013
Day 33 - I want Candy (A.K.A. Chocolate)
I am really craving...but I mean a hurting craving for chocolate. Need to look for a susbstitute on the envelopes I have.
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Day 32 - My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
Again. Frustration.
I went to but ALL the corresponding envelopes for the next 21 days. It was a massive crecit card charge, but I guess it's the price of being again healthy. The only thing that really frustrated me was, there were no Milkshakes.
NO MILKSHAKES!!!
The only drink I could bare to eat at 8 am, and they were out of it. "We will be getting them until the end of this month" I was angry really.
So I bought the cocoa drink, which I just tried, like warm cocoa.
PROTEIN FLAVOR KICKED IN ASAP. This is ridiculous. I had to eat something so I tried really hard to gulp it fast.
I also, in a rare episode, I felt nausea at 18:00 hrs. I guess it was the Omega kicking in. I wanted to eat something, but I just couldnt I forced myself to drink the cocoa mix, and the sensation went away.
Let's see when I can get my milkshakes back again!.
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
Day 31 - Doctor's appointment
Today I went to my routince control check at the doctor´s office. Below I will be posting the results of weight and measurements.
I had a few questions and NO I cannot do excercise just yet. And this time, OMEGA 3, 4 & 9 was added to my daily dosage of pills. This will help the metabolism speed up a little.
Also, another doctor joined us, the Psychologist (I'm sorry I can't recall her name). She told me super interesting facts about body perception, for example, once you have drastically lost so much weight, it takes up to 9 months to accept your new figure. This, because for so many years we get used to being fat/obese you get used to measuring dimensions of doors to pass by or chairs to sit on, that your mind takes a while to accept you are not the same dimension as before.
That's why I look the difference on my body, but not a big difference on it, although it is a fact I have lost a lot of weight and measurements.
Anyways, let's go to the facts after 30 days:
* Weight is specified in KILOS
** Measurements in centimeters
| Date: | 18-Feb | 27-Feb | 20-Mar | TOTAL LOST | ||
| Weight | 86.4 | 83 | 79.2 | 7.2 | ||
| Waist | 119 | 103 | 95 | 24 | ||
| Arm | 36 | 34 | 35 | 1 | ||
| Hip | 114 | 111 | 110 | 4 | ||
| Abdomen | 119 | 103 | 95 | 24 | ||
| Chest | 112 | 110 | 105 | 7 | ||
| Thight | 61 | 60 | 59 | 2 | ||
| Chin | 47 | 47 | 46 | 1 | ||
Well, I guess I am happy about these results, but then again, I do not want to get all happy and stuff cause if I get too excited I know I will stop doing this diet.
SO: YAY!!.

Day 30 - Give "piece" a chance
Piece of Chocolate Cake
So I decided to give the chocolate cake another chance. This time, instead of cooking it on the microwave, I did it on the oven, in a mini cupcake mold.
So the texture came out different. Not goosh, but a plastic like texture.
I added sweet n low.
I cannot start to explain the taste in my mouth. OK, so the sweetner made it a lot more bitter, but the cake was not a cake, it was plastic.
Although I have not given up on this cake, I will not try it anytime soon.
I will ask for recipes on this. Maybe next time it will be better.
Oh, of course, I ate it.
Here's a pic

Day 29 - Weigh In
Good morning sunshine...
WALKED towards the scale, expecting the worst.
2.6 Pounds.
WHAT THE HELL!!!?!?!?!? This is not what I expected. Specially when I´m only eating 5 envelopes and very few vegetables. Well, not " few" strictly the ones allowed. Not even 20 grams extra.
On thursday I have a doctor's appointment. We'll see how many KILOS I'm down according to his scale and if I got down to my one month goal.
Phooey.
So the results for today are:
Februray 18 - 194.8
March 11 - 179.2
28 days - 15.6 pounds. (7.076 kilograms)
________________________________________________________________

Day 28 - Tupperware
Ok. So today it was not a "good idea" day. I went to see a friend and because I was going to be out all day (at least that was the idea), I cooked two sachets of nuggets and nopales, I placed the nicely on a new hellokitty lunchbox, I prepared the orange dring with lots of ice in an ice Hello Kitty thermus and packed a sachet of chicken noodle soup.
The idea was to be with my friend all day at work, so we were there, talking and doing our nails. But something bothered me. This smell I just couldn't get where it was coming from.
Really Disgusting.
Then I remembered. THE TUPPERWARE!!!!! Not a good idea.
I closed in near it. OH MY LORD!!! what was that??? I didn't even wanted to open it. And I had to eat something!!
I refuse to eat THAT. Not a good idea.
So then, everything changed and I had to return home. I opened the tupperware and threw the food away.
I did a cup-a-chicken-noodle-soup and ate it.
Memo to me: DO NOT EVERRR EVERR AGAIN use that tupperware. ALWAYS take soup or drink when going outside.
Tomorrow: Weigh in. I'm really looking forward to loose 5 pounds. No less.
Having high expectations and NO frustration tolerance.
**Hope this tip helps anyone doing Pronokal.

Day 27 - Day-O
Day light come and me wanna go home.
As much as I wanted to run home to bed, I bravely stayed at the mall. Yes, I went out to the mall and ate at a restaurant... with LOTS of food.. steak and a buffet.. mashed potatoes...
But I was brave enough to ask the waiter to heat up my salsa, got my nuggets out, poured the salsa, prepared my orange drink and eat some nopales and zuccinni, while I watched my dad eat in front of me!
A neverending Buffet!
At first, the smell was driving me nuts, but after my 5th taste of nuggets, I calmed down and then the craving went away. I actually did not finished all my nopales and then the hunger and craving, went away.
I guess I am in the Ketosis Zone right now. And Im looooving it!!!

Day 25 - Food Glorious Food
I am NOT missing right now andy food. I have discovered the great flavour of cauliflower, and I can have 3 cups of it! YAY!
Feeling a stomach ache every time I finish eating. Haven´t discovered the reason why.
In 5 days, it will be a MONTH gone by. It is incredible how fast time goes away.
Plans for this weekend:
I am daring to go out for a whole day to a new shopping mall. I will take my lunch and several envelopes just in case.
I'll inform how it went.

Kudos Georgie Boy.

Day 23 - Forever in Blue Jeans
Today was my first afternoon out. and the first time I could wear my blue jeans back again.
I was showered with compliments.
AND IT FELT GOOD!!!
Although I did not wanted to believe it so much, I only have lost 13 pounds. Not even close to my 65 goal. I know I am very hard on myself but I cannot allow myself to feel good, otherwise -I know myself- I will abort the diet. And that's not the case. Not this time.
Being on the monotone diet of milkshakes, soups and drinks (and nuggets) I have nothing more to add regarding food, BUT, today I met with my friend and a friend of hers, who also did the diet a year ago.
I learned new tricks:
- Always carry TWO extra envelopes when going out.
- Try to have a funnel to add the envelope to the bottled water
- NEVER USE CREAM during the treatmeant - this breaks out of ketosis. Do not ask me why.
- Use a girdle
They avidly trie to convince me to go to the gym. I remember that on this diet one cannot do excersie because of the low calorie count, BUT THEN I remembered the doctor told me I should walk for 20 minutes daily. I am still reluctant on going to the gym. Seriously, I do not like it.
Maybe I could try in a few weeks.

Day 22 - Sweet dreams are made of this
I have been experiencing TERRIBLE nightmares.
Always the same recurring ones. I find myself eating something I am not allowed and I suffer, but I mean, LITERALLY suffer in the dream, because I had broken out of Ketosis.
In one, I looked down on a plate with two -scrumptious- quesadillas, and they both had 2 bite marks. I literally cried (in the dream) because I could not remember at what time I had bitten those. Woke up really agitated.
Today, I dreamt I ate a deliciuos vintage chocolate lollipop, somehow I was with a family Dr., talking to him, and sucking on...no..not sucking CHEWING! the chocolate, and then he said:
"You're not being a good girl!"
"Yes I am" I said, "Why do you say that?
"Because you are eating a chocolate and your Ketosis has gone!"
I ran into a bathroom and spit what I had inside my mouth rigth to my hand, then tried to throw up, but he told me: "There's no use, it's already in your stomach"
Of course, I woke up almost sweating and with an anguish I couldn't understand until I was full y awake.
The Diet Dr. explained to me this would be frequent and it is ABSOLUTELY normal, the brain and body are experiencing losses and that's how they cope.
...Seriously...
Day 22 - Weigh in
Woke up.
Jumped out of bed.
Ran towards the scale.
Say
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT???
Jumped out of bed.
Ran towards the scale.
Say
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT???
TWO POUNDS?!?!?!?
No. no no no no.
No no no no no. This can't be.
Got off the scale.
Got up again.
The same 182.8 lbs.
So the results for today are:
Februray 18 - 194.8
March 11 - 182.8
21 days - 12 pounds. (5.44 kilograms)
So frustrated. I thought I would be going faster!, The Dr. said I would loose almost 18 pounds a month. That's the goal.
I heard today every body is different and goes at it's own pace. But this time, I don't care. I want to go faster. I wonder if my metabolism has something to do with it.
I'll ask my friend how many pounds she lost the first month!
I can't handle frustration!!!

Day 21 - Lollipop
The title is just for fun! (and I LOVE the song)
Today, I will be posting food pictures. I wishI had more, but I will be updating this post soon!
Can't wait until tomorrow - Weigh in day.
Chicken Nuggets "quenelles",
suggested by my friends mom, who is an EXCELLENT chef!I made a tomato sauce just adding water on the blender and once is liquified, I added powder onion and garlic and dehydrated parsley and salt. All the ingredients cooked on a pan, no oil just until the tomato turns from light pink to red.
Uhh delicious.
Also, Zuccinni.
Same quenelles, just added green tomato sauce.
The zuccinni has olive oil
This is the Orange drink (mineralized water added)

Day 20 - Dysmorphophobia (Or: "you are beautiful, no matter what they say")
According to wikipedia:
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD, also body dysmorphia, dysmorphic syndrome; originally dysmorphophobia) is a type of mental illness, a somatoform disorder, wherein the affected person is concerned with body image, manifested as excessive concern about and preoccupation with a perceived defect of their physical features.[1][2] The person thinks they have a defect in either one feature or several features of their body, which causes psychological distress that causes clinically significant distress or impairs occupational or social functioning. Often BDD co-occurs with emotional depression and anxiety, social withdrawal or social isolation.[3]
I once heard this word from a doctor, a friend of my father. I "accidentaly" read a mail she sent to him, concerned about me. I was shocked. It took me several years to accept this fact.
Yes. I am dismorphic. I admit it. Totally. I hate my body (even though I have gone through several cosmetic -non sucssesful- procedures like liposuction 10 years ago amongst other surgeries) I don´t have a good perception of myself, in fact, I don't have a perception at all. Just hate my body.
As I saw yesterday the full body pictures from me on February 18th -when I began the diet- I just could not believe how obese I was (am). A "seven month triplets pregnancy" could describe it better. I just cannot believe how I got away with that and not noticing or at least taking it to a conscient level. I'm impressed.
Being morbidly obese, is not funny. The funny thing is I got fatter like a pregnant woman, so people would think I was pregnant instead of obese. And the worst thing, is that I was ok with that. I could get away with my obesity and prefer to say I was pregnant.
It's really horrible now that I think about it. But it's all because of the Dysmorphia and not being OK with the shape of my body.
I decided I will post pictures at the end of the tratment. My first image taken and the last one, just for dramatic purposes, but until then, these images can say more than words can say:
Day 19 - As Time goes by
It's amazing how time goes by. It's the end of the third week and I'm feeeling just ok.
Having this week, a strict regime of soup, milkshakes and nuggets (and LOTS of zuccini, sparragus and nopales) I feel like I just got to this weeks finish line.
My friend told me I had to play with the recipes and allowed vegetables. For example, Instead of making "flat" nuggets, make them round, cook them on the oven and then add some tomato sauce, making them taste like meat-a-balls. It sound delicious. Now I have to go and buy tomatoes!!
But to tell you the truth, the salsas have made this food even better. Greentomtao salsa have joined me in almost every meal and it's so good. Its a liitle bit hot, for I add chili and it's more spicy.
