thoughts and reflections

Jun 07, 2010

It has been 14 months since I started my weight loss surgery journey.  I have lost over 130 lbs and more than 5 feet in inches !

Physically this has been pretty much a piece of cake...not that I can eat cake, lol.  I am very used to the way I eat now, lots of protein, veggies, some fruit and almost no carbs, no white sugar, white flour.

I do splurge once in a while, but that is ok.  The weight is still coming off, just slower.  I can really see it in my face.  I actually am wearing a two piece bathing suit this summer....my tummy leaves much to be desired, but who cares?  So much better than  before.

Mentally it is much harder.  I find that just because you lose weight doesn't mean you lose behaviors and habits.  Like wanting to eat when I am stressed, bored, etc.  Alcohol is different too.  Boy cheap date these days.

Attention that I have been getting is really nice.  After feeling invisible for so long, I forgot what it felt like to get positive attention.  I feel really good and very confident.  Back on the exercise again.  Lots of time swimming and walking plus weights.
