Ellen: Your body confuses your fasting, with starving it. It is hanging on to that fat just in case you need it later. Probably better just to eat On Plan and No Carb, than to not eat. But what do I know. I haven't moved one inch this month.

10/11/2015 266 lbs Still battling the cold although it has moved from my head to my chest resulting in some painful coughing. The congestion in my head is much less, so the antibiotic seems to be working. At least my weight is back to moving in the right direction.
10/12/2015 265 lbs Cold a little better, two more days to go on antibiotic..

You didn't suffer too much damage after your granddaughter's birthday party. Your quote is great. I'll modify it a little by saying, "Anybody can wait. But it's those who don't go frickin' crazy while waiting, who come out ahead."
