11 Weeks – Losing weight...and losing unhealthy friends!

Nov 18, 2011

It's now 11 weeks since the September 1st surgery. And it's all still going GREAT!

Had my 3 month surgeon visit and he's especially pleased with everything that I'm doing and he's very pleased with what I have lost so far. He was very encouraged and I don't have to go back to see him until Feb. 15th.

But this takes COMMITTMENT people....it isn't easy...it isn't a walk in the park!! I feel I have blinders on and all I can do is look straight ahead....to just keep chugging along. I weigh and measure my food/intake, take my vitamins, go to my support group sessions, weigh in weekly, workout at least 5 days a week doing something (water aerobics, strength training, treadmill, ahi chi stretching) which is really keeping the muscles in tact and shaped nicely. All weight is coming off evenly.

What else am I losing besides weight? I would say "unhealthy friends"....they don't come around as much anymore. They don't want to be the "fat friends" so they just simply choose to go about their business without me. But that's okay....let them see me get healthy and perhaps I can persuade them to do something too. No more gorging on food, slugging down the booze...and because I'm not participating...they aren't as much fun to be around. I guess this was what my husband meant when he said I would see all this once I got healthy and clear headed. I would see that they all become a-holes when they are drinking and eating. Very interesting....I hate when he's right!

Oh well....I will just keep chugging along. Heading towards goal. See you next week!
