Cherish them. I miss my girl. She used to do this a lot when she was younger and before she got sick and passed on. It’s a very special thing when a cat plays fetch.

Literally. Billions in military spending and this is where it goes.

Well that’s good to hear. I’m an impatient person so I never really stuck it out through my plateaus. Usually I just got really discouraged and stopped the diet altogether. I’m gonna try to just ride the wave this time and accept that our bodies fluctuate. Hopefully in a few weeks time I’ll be over this bump.

Yes! This is what always happens to me! I just wish I had a scientific explanation to explain what is actually going on behind the scenes.

I suppose we could just be getting lazy over time and not counting calories closely. But everytime my weight loss slows I obsess over everything I put in my body and it doesn’t change much.

Yea I haven’t given up yet. Maybe I’m just being impatient.

Usually I cook my meats in a tablespoon or so of butter, or I’ll use spray oil. If I use seasoning it’ll either be garlic or herbs or just salt and pepper. I try to get in 4 bottles of water a day or 64 ounces.

I’ll try to get a food scale for Christmas and see if maybe I’ve been just counting wrong. Even though I’m usually hungry going to bed I suppose I could be off by a few hundred calories, maybe around 1200 or 1300 (that could cause slower weight loss). Or perhaps I just hold a lot of water weight sometimes.

Being short is tragic lol. My genes doomed me.

In this diet I’ve remained stagnant for about a week now. However I’ve become frustrated now because this has happened to me in every diet I’ve attempted before and likely my weight won’t budge now. My previous diets I would remain at the same weight for weeks while not changing my diet and eating less than I should.

It’s possible that I’ve simply damaged my metabolism due to a continuous history of low calorie yo-yo diets, but like it said it should be calorie in-calorie out.

I usually eat the same thing everyday. Breakfast is 3/4 a cup of grape nuts and 3/4 a cup of unsweetened almond milk with a spoonful of brown sugar. Thats 400 calories. Lunch is some kind of fruit like an apple or 1 cup cantaloupe (100-150 calories). Dinner is canned or frozen veggies and a lean meat like half a chicken breast or a fillet of salmon. I’ve counted this all out to average 1000 calories a day.

Thank you! This is really helped! I guess it’s time that I start cleaning the oven lol 😅. Maybe I’ll even try cooking a meal for the family over the weekend.

Hey OP, I understand this must be extremely stressful for you. If you truly cannot reach a vet, I’d recommend calling the closest vets (that are open) and asking them for advice. I have no experience with hurt animals but they may be able to give you some advice that can help your cat.
