00:00So, I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog and look forward to the next one and I'll see you guys then.
00:22Hey guys!
00:30So, I just want to start off by saying like not all of my videos are going to be sit down videos.
00:36Today was one of those days where I didn't film anything.
00:39I haven't been at my best right now.
00:42I just kind of want to sit here, talk to you guys about my whole day, kind of like how I've been today, what I've ate today.
00:49There is a new plan that I'm going to be doing.
00:52So, I want to talk to you guys more about that.
00:54So, last night after I ended my video, I said, you know, all I have right now is to count calories, which is very true.
01:01That is all I have right now.
01:03On Monday, I'm going to be calling around and trying to get me an appointment for a therapist or a nutritionist and just for me to talk to someone and see how it makes me feel.
01:12I know it's going to be, you know, I need to see this person more than once to actually, you know, get what I need out of it.
01:18I am scared.
01:19I am nervous.
01:20You guys know all about that because I've talked more about that.
01:22So, I planned on waking up and counting them calories.
01:25I was replying to my messages on my fitness pal last night and someone messaged me and we ended up messaging for hours back and forth.
01:33I know she's watching.
01:34So, hello.
01:35She lost over a hundred pounds in six months because she was going to, she went to a surgeon because she wanted to get weight loss surgery.
01:42The surgeon gave her a general diet plan to follow for the next following months.
01:47I'm going to explain that plan in a second.
01:49She started doing that, which is, this is a general, general, general plan that people do get.
01:56It makes a lot of sense.
01:57So, she explained it to me where for breakfast, she would eat 600 calories.
02:02Between breakfast and lunch, she would have a protein shake or a protein bar.
02:05Lunch, 600 calories.
02:06In between lunch and dinner, she'd have a protein shake or a protein bar.
02:10And then for dinner, 600 calories.
02:12She was allowed to have diet soda, but with no caffeine.
02:15She was supposed to get her heart rate over 120 beats per minute for 10 minutes a day.
02:21So, all of these things is what she did.
02:23And it made her lose 100 pounds in six months.
02:26Her starting weight is my starting weight for the most part.
02:29There was just so many similarities.
02:31You know, she slipped up for a little bit and she was like, let's do this together.
02:34And I was like, yes, let's do this together.
02:36So, we were both supposed to wake up today and start it.
02:39And I just figured I would give this a shot because this is something different.
02:43This is like a set amount of calories I'm supposed to eat for each meal.
02:47And not only that, but I'm allowed to have protein bars.
02:50I did do some research on this.
02:52I was Googling like what kind of plans are patients who want weight loss surgery?
02:57Like what do they get put on?
02:59There's like quite a few websites where it shows like this is something that people who are my size can do,
03:06even if they don't plan on getting weight loss surgery.
03:08When you do the math, I'll be eating around like 2,200 calories by doing this, which I wanted to eat 2,500.
03:14This is going to work out really good.
03:16I've never done anything where like I had a set amount of calories for each meal,
03:20which for me, I feel like this will be better because I won't constantly be thinking,
03:24Oh God, how many calories am I going to eat for so-and-so meal?
03:27So I can save this many calories for so-and-so meal.
03:29And something else that's going to be really different is when I count calories
03:32and I'm being good on a diet, following my weight loss journey,
03:36my breakfast is always like 200 to 300 calories.
03:39So it's never big.
03:40It's always my lightest meal of the day.
03:42But by following this new plan, I'll be eating 600 calories for breakfast.
03:46And I feel like that's going to keep me fuller longer.
03:49And I'm not going to constantly be hungry.
03:51And I think what's cool also is before I even have lunch, I'm allowed to have a protein bar or a protein shake.
03:56I feel like all throughout the day, I am going to feel satisfied.
03:58And something else that is super awesome is I'm allowed to have Sprite Zero.
04:01Obviously, I'm going to keep drinking water.
04:03The person who's following this plan, if they get hungry after all meals are done,
04:07you're allowed to have 15 calorie rice cakes or you're allowed to have some pickles,
04:11which pickles are very low in calories.
04:13I feel like I'm going to give this a go after, you know, talking to my new friend about it
04:16and my new weight loss buddy.
04:17I'm so freaking excited.
04:18I will say though, I woke up today.
04:20I thought I was going to like do this thing, start my new plan.
04:24I was like so freaking excited.
04:25I woke up in a really bad mood.
04:27I don't know what it was.
04:29Like, usually this happens when I get very little sleep.
04:33I got, I want to say it was around seven hours of sleep, but it was miserable sleep.
04:37I kept waking up.
04:38I was tossing and turning.
04:39My Fitbit said I didn't even go in deep sleep for like, I only like deep sleep for maybe five minutes.
04:45That's why I love having a Fitbit.
04:46I wear it when I'm sleeping so I can like see how I sleep.
04:49I woke up so many times throughout the night.
04:51It was just really bad.
04:52And when I get really bad sleep, that carries on my mood for the next day.
04:56So I didn't start my plan today.
04:58I've had Mexican takeout.
05:00It was really bad weather today.
05:01We were actually going to go to a Chinese buffet, but we didn't feel like driving that far because the weather was so bad.
05:06It was raining so hard that the streets look like a river.
05:09So once it cooled down just a little bit, we drove a little bit down the road, which was a lot closer than the Chinese buffet.
05:14And we just did some Mexican takeout.
05:16Brought it home.
05:17We ate that.
05:18I've been doing nothing but watching movies today.
05:19Like it's been just very not great.
05:21So I've only ate once today.
05:23It is 11 PM.
05:24I'm actually going to be eating again later.
05:26And I already know I'm going to have some ramen noodle actually.
05:29And I have a candy bar that I'm going to eat.
05:31I have some hot Cheetos.
05:32So it's just really bad.
05:34I feel like I come on here every day saying the same thing about how I'm swollen, not following any kind of plan or anything like that.
05:41But like with my new weight loss buddy, the new motivation that I'm feeling and things like that, I feel like tomorrow I really want to do this.
05:49And I can film a what I ate today video tomorrow and kind of explain again in the video of what I'm going to be doing.
05:55Like if this works for her, we are so similar and this works for so many other people, even people who don't want to get weight loss surgery.
06:01This works for them.
06:02I don't see why it wouldn't work for me because it just seems legit.
06:05I just think it's cool.
06:06I'm going to be able to have a big breakfast without feeling guilty because I know for lunch I'll have 600 calories and for dinner I'll also have 600 calories.
06:13I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow.
06:14I'm very nervous that I'm going to be at a whole new starting weight.
06:17I kind of have that feeling.
06:18I'm just super swollen, horrible water retention, so much sodium, so many calories that I'm putting into my body that I just, I don't need to be, but I'm doing it.
06:27That's why I need to see someone because I know I shouldn't be, but I'm still doing it.
06:31There's something wrong with that.
06:32So please, I hope tomorrow, I just, I hope this works for me.
06:38And I think what's really cool is the girl said, you know, sometimes, okay, I'm not saying I'm going to do this, but it gave me hope.
06:44She says, sometimes if I was on the road, I would go to McDonald's, I'd get a McChicken and a small fry.
06:50That's automatically 600 calories.
06:52Of course, those aren't healthy options and it's not things that I want to choose for myself, but it's neat to know if I just stay within what I'm supposed to stay in 600 calories per each meal that I'll see a weight loss.
07:04And I feel like it'll cause me to think less about food because I feel like a lot of the time I'll a lot because I start feeling overwhelmed with food because I'm constantly thinking about what am I going to have for next?
07:14How many calories am I going to allow myself?
07:16But already having a set stamp of how many calories I'll be eating is going to help a lot.
07:20I feel like I'm rambling.
07:21I'm really nervous that I'm going to weigh in tomorrow and be at a heavier weight.
07:23My current heaviest weight is 500 pounds.
07:26Wait, 500.4, ain't it?
07:27I think.
07:28Please, positive thoughts, you guys.
07:30Positive affirmations.
07:32You guys can do some praying if that's what you want.
07:35I need the positivity.
07:36I really want to wake up tomorrow and do this.
07:38I'm already thinking about what am I going to have for breakfast?
07:40I have 600 calories worth of breakfast.
07:42I'm going to go.
07:43So I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I'll see you in my next one.
07:45Bye.
07:46Mwah.
07:47Mwah.
