Milestone reached and passed!!
So first off I want to let everyone know you all rock!! This is the best forum, not just faries and butterflies~you all say it like it is ~ you do not just tell us what we want to hear. Cause sometimes we need to hear the truth~no not sometimes Always!.
It is hardest to say the truth when you know the other person is doing it wrong or could do it better. You all do that~Thanks even if it was not my post I have listened and it has helped.
That leads to my milestone. I weighted myself today and I am down ~~drum roll~~ 105 lbs!!!!!!
I am 5 months out from my surgery and already 105 lbs, I find this really surreal. I have worked at it but its strange. People are not recognizing me~that is cool and weird at the same time.
My weightloss pattern has been strange in the last 40 lbs or so. I see a big drop then I do not see that numberfor another week or two. Today the drop was a milestone. I am taking it. I am ok with knowing it will not be solid for a week or so. It is the first time I have seen these numbers on the scale for over a decade!.
I have to say this has been a really interesting journey. It is not easy, although I am determined so I am making it appear easy. I do nto whine, complain or moan. I am readjusting my lifestyle and my outlook on food. Everytime I put something in my mouth I ask myself are I hungry-do I need to eat-is this what my body needs or my mind thinks it needs.
I am still working to overcome the head desires for food. I am still tracking my food intake. I am still measuring to be sure I recreate the appropriate habits in my food life.
I am 52 the end of the week I have many years of wrong eatting to overcome. This will not happen overnight. I am ok with the thought it maybe my entire life that I need to be fully aware and conscious of my tendancies to wrong eatting habits.
I am off to go shopping with my daughter today. I need to start trying on clothes to learn my style. I am now shopping in normal stores. Its wierd as well. I have to realize just because it fits doesnt mean it is my style and doesnt mean I should buy it. I have to admit it is a bit overwhelming to shop everywhere rather than just having the large size section of walmart, additionelle and penningtons. I have wandered a bit in the other stores, it is really strange!! Good but strange!
Thanks again to those who post on here, you have been a huge part of my sucess!
