It's been a really long time
Jan 30, 2011
I am now 4 years and a month out, and I have managed to stay at or near my goal weight. I was a bit too thin in the beginning, but I did not see it. My friends did though, and I finally decided to put on a few pounds. A woman 5'10 should not be a size 4. I just added bananas and peanut butter each night, and gained some weight until people thought I looked healthy. I always need to remember that I do not see my body the way others do. That is still eye-opening to me.This past year, I fell in love with a great guy with bad eating habits and I put on some weight. I finally got smart and dumped the guy. Then I set about losing the weight I had put on. I was amazed that I could set a date and tell myself I was going to go back to following the WLS rules and then do it, but I could! That had never happened before. I always felt that food controlled me, not the other way around. So I am losing weight, 7 pounds so far, somehwre between 5 and 10 to go. I just want to be comfortable as a size 8 for the rest of my life. And I want to be at the thin side of 8, not the tight side. I just want to know I am a bit more normal than I have ever been before. I have gone off sugar totally as that is a definite trigger food for me. I put protein first again, and then I just count and count my calories. I lose if I stay at 1200 or a bit below; I stay the same at 1800 or so, but I am taller than most.
I am happy and thankful and still so glad I did what I did.
