March - ing right along

Mar 11, 2013

I hit a lonnnng speed bump in my journey about one month ago.  I was feeling draggy and down about my weight loss, or lack thereof.  I had maintained the same weight for about one month and only lost a little bit since Christmas.  about 8 lbs as of now.  Before I was steadily losing about 2 lbs per week or even more, so this was really hard to take.  I was eating more and the things I was eating or snacking on were not what I should be. I certainly wasn't indulging in large amounts of anything, but the picking I was doing was out of frustration and boredome...I wanted crunch! crackle! some spice! so I was chomping on tortillas (even t hough they are multigrain, that does not mean healthy) and croutons and cereals.  But not a lot of anything.  This is what really got me down was how little I actually ate compared to before surgery...then it was ridiculous...I was also feeling down that I would only eat that small amount at meal times for the rest of my life.  Or even less if I was to lose more and get to my goal. I was so down that I was not losing like I had thought I would in my long range plan.  fI was feeling old and tired; found my iron was low at my January appt. so that was an issue - that took me a while to grow accustomed to - the iron pill was tough to deal with.

I think I'm on a better road now..I know I am...I feel better and not so moody...I feel that I am back on track and have actually droppped a few pounds
