Brief update

When I posted this thread, I was around 170 lbs. I've continued to change my diet. I've almost eliminated white bread. I stay away from most/all processed foods. Can't stand most processed foods and restaurant food because of the sodium. I still eat meat: chicken, pork, and beef, but only in small quantities. Eating lots of beans, veggies, and fruit. Exchanged olive oil for butter. My weakness is chocolate, but that's only occasional.

I had a scaffolding accident and broke a few ribs. I recovered quickly and began riding my bicycle. Now, I get hungry 2 hours after eating. I'm always hungry. Weighed myself yesterday, and I'm around 160 lbs. I realize some of that is water loss, but it wouldn't surprise me if I'm down 6 pounds in the last month.

I'm worried I may not be able to keep the weight on. Between physical work (remodeling) during the day, exercise in afternoon, and a clean diet, I have to find a way to get more calories. In essence, the junk food was keeping my weight on, because it was so dense in calories. Now, I have to find a replacement.
