When I went shopping last week I bought two pints of ice cream, and I think that having it and eating it helps because once it’s gone, I can’t have any more until I go shopping again. That allows me to go longer without sweets so I can lose more weight and still give in to cravings without going overboard.

If I had a steady supply of ice cream my weight would go up or stay around the same, but by having small amounts, my weight spikes then goes back down. Eventually I would like to eliminate sweets completely, or to get as close to that ideal as I can. I would also like to avoid eating pizza.

If I visualize winning the natural Mr. Olympia, it makes me want to take my diet more seriously. I bought bananas and froze some of them, that’s a lot better than thinking about ice cream because I can make protein shakes with them.

I hit my lowest weight of the year so far on Thursday, July 17th. I was 283.6 pounds, and Friday, July 18th I was 283.4 pounds.
