Not losing fast enough but still losing.

Mar 03, 2011

I present myself as someone that is confident and in control of my weightloss journey. But have I really lost control of myself to myself? That is the question I need to ask.

I had a follow up appointment with my Surgeon today. He said that I wasnt losing fast enough. My nutritionist said that I was doing a good job losing. So, my last appointment was 5 weeks ago. I was told to eat more food. So I don't know if thats the stall in my weight loss progress. I can honestly tell you that everyone thinks Im doing awesome. I know though that there is a definate room for improvement. I need to exercise more and also I need to watch what I'm putting into my mouth. I can honestly say that I have not given up the sugar. I have drastically cut it down but not out. How can I its been my friend all my life and theres no substitute for that. WOW. Just writing that down just brought me to an Ah-Ha moment. I have lost friends and there are no substitutes for them either but I have learned to live without them. I do hope to have them back one day but right now by circumstances its just not good for me. Maybe just maybe we (sugar & I) should have a break. Not say goodbye but a fond farewell until we meet again. OK I will try.

I do want to change up some of my exercise and get it in gear and speed up the metabolisim. So here we go. Its time to start with that and taking a good look at my food intake and make sure that the foods I put into my body are enough and they count. I do really want to be the person that I am on the outside to reflect the person that I am on the inside and that my friend is an confident, beautiful (ok, I'm still beautiful now) but more beautiful, mother, sister, daughter, friend and person I was made to be.

With that I hope you are having the best day ever and best of luck on your... scratch that....OUR Journey to a better us!
