8 months...

Mar 06, 2010

I haven't posted anything in awhile. Things with my weight loss seem to be slow going for me, but at least the scale is moving downward. I've lost 100 pounds so far since this process started. It's been quite a journey so far. I'm not always very happy with some of my eating choices, and since my surgery was the VSG, I don't have dumping so I can get away with eating the wrong things sometimes. Granted, I can never eat very much at one time. Thank God for that! I need to work on getting more protein in and less carbs. Carbs feel good... they don't hurt, but I know that I need to avoid them. It's hard work. WLS is not a quick fix or a "wonder surgery". It is a tool... and YOU have to do the work to make it work. I think I'm really understanding that now.

Life has been so crazy lately, and this definitely affects my weight loss. My husband has been sick on and off and just recently got over a nasty case of cellulitis. It was pretty scary there for awhile. He had to go to the hospital, which is never a good thing. Thankfully he is ok now. There have been family issues going on, friend issues, and general "life issues". Life can be a difficult uphill journey sometimes. But it's worth it people! I can do this. I know I can. I just need to hold on... and keep moving forward.
