December 28, 2006  today is the 22nd month since I have had wls.  I am weighing 153 pounds. 118 pounds gone. I did good through the Christmas holiday.  I did not wait to eat at just one meal.  I had my protein and ate throughout the day.  I ate some of my Mother's German Chocolate cake.  It was good but I paid for it by reacting to the sugar.   I am feeling good and loving life.  I am enjoying lifting free weights and working out. 

Well I stayed at 156  lbs this week which is okay.  I picked up the Oxygen magazine  Clean Eating.  I will follow the suggestions in this magazine to clean up the rest of my bad eating habits.  I am determined to keep my 120 plus weight loss.  It said that wls patients will gain half of what they lost within the first 5 years of their surgery.  I am doing everything in my power to beat that statistic.  I will be care in what I eat this week and even for Christmas.  I will be doing the cooking with my mother and we plan on cooking healthy and good.  Next weigh in will be Christmas day 2006!!!

Well I am up again after all of my hard work last week.  I blew it by laying in the bed and just eating.  When it is cold outside I do not want to do any thing.  I am up 3 pounds to 156 pounds.  I have got the last 16 pounds off and keep them off.  I will not give up keep fighting.  I am enjoying the way that I am feeling.  I am in a good solid size six.  I am able to eat more which is a scary thing.  I must learn to listen to my body when it is head hunger, thirst or real hunger.

Good morning today is Monday December 4.  Last December I was weighing 169 lbs.  Today I am weighing 152.50 pounds.  I feel great.  Here's to having a good week of weight loss in spite of the holidays.
