4 years and a month...

Mar 02, 2015

It has been 4 years and a month now and I'm finally used to my new body. I think it took a little over 3 years before I could really see the changes in my body and recognize that I do not want to go back to the way I was. I am finally accepting my body, flaws and all. When I gain weight it's not in the right places (chest and butt), it goes in the places that I do need help (stomach and thighs!) I still weigh myself weekly and I try to log my food when I see that I am over my goal. It's been snowing for weeks and school and our office has been closed. I am also having a ulcer flare up, therefore, I have been grazing! I refuse to keep this 9 lbs on my body. I refuse to buy clothes to fit me during this time. Therefore, I will stay uncomfortable until I am down to my goal of 140.  I thank God for this experience and I have learned to read my body. I no longer feel like the "fat Mom".  I no longer feel self contious when I am out with my husband. I recognize that others have lost a lot more weight than I have after surgery, but I feel blessed that my body is at a point where it is comfortable. I pray for everyone who is going through what I went through and worse. Just know that it will be worth it but you will always have a battle to fight. Be the best that you can be!
