Progressing
May 11, 2009
Hello Everyone!
It's me again. Just thought I'd drop in and write a few lines on my own progress since I'm now 8 weeks post-op. The truth is that I am now 22 pounds below my starting weight and I'm pleased about that. I just find it hard to adapt to the new girl that I see in the mirror. I find myself kinda wanting to hold on to my old clothes instead of plunging headfirst into this new world of change. Once again my old friend "food" isnt there to comfort me while I adjust to all these changes so I'm forced to face these anxious feelings head-on which is good for me, I know.
Gosh, I never realized how dependent I had become on the stuff until now! Thankfully I have a lot of support and I think things are moving along according to plan. I average about a pound or two a week. Never thought I would have to remind myself to eat!LOL But I try to be conscious of that since I don't want my body to think its starving. I'm not ready to hit a plateau just yet.
At any rate those are just a few of my ramblings to my dear OH family with regards to an update!
