Long time...
Dec 13, 2012
Well, mostly I hang out on the Bariatric TV forum so I haven't been around much. In the last year my weight has been up and down around 23 pounds from my low in July of 162.4 to my high of just over 185. This morning was 169.4 after 5 days of 'clean eating' we will call it... the gain was mostly fluid but it's been a rough year emotionally - both good and bad events making me crave and eat the so-called 'forbidden foods'. Truthfully, I don't think anything should be forbidden if you can moderate it. If you can't then you're like the good old alcoholic in AA and then you should probably abstain, but we are human and we shouldn't limit our experience by saying I'll never have a cookie again as long as I live. What a rotten life if you really enjoy cookies. But on the other hand having a cookie the size of my head every day - will make me sick and then a cookie won't be special either. Had a lot of bad hypoglycemia attacks this past year - so I know a cookie the size of my head is a bad idea for me - even if I ate my protein before and after... I'm lucky - I was driving home with my last really bad bad attack. I am thankful to God I did not damage anyone or anything. Live and learn.... if you're gonna do it- do it at HOME or have someone else as a designated driver. Hope everyone is doing well. I started my journey at 322. Lost down to 285 before surgery and have bounced between 165 and 176 most of the past year. I wanted to get to 150, but this is still a win in my book - thus far. Life is a journey. Take care of yourselves.
