Doing thing's differently

Aug 09, 2012

 Hello my friends!
 
So after deciding and accepting that I this is all up to me..as it should be...I have calm down a bit. 

I have drank the last of the soda, gobbled down he remainder of the spinach dip and avoided the chocolate pudding until it was safely packed away in some one else lunch. We never had much in the house in terms of cookies cakes or chips...no ice cream or candy either. We ate out alot...A LOT. 

no more. 


Starting small, this is something I screwed up over a long period of time so it's going to take time to correct it. 
I am taking in smaller portions and chewing my food. That was so hard and I am still trying to teach myself to eat normally.  We are eating at the table, ALL of our meals. Water, water, water..so much water. If my brain tells me eat..I go drink water, and so far my body has been thirsty, not hungry. I did have this really odd sensation late last night...it was kinda like a upset stomach but without the nausea...then my stomach growled!!! I was HUNGRY!!!!  It has been so long since I experienced physical hunger I forgot what it felt like!!! How awful!

Picked up the physical activity as well. taken the kids and puppy out for a walk for the past three evenings. They love walking our dog and she doesn't mind the out tings either. I want to run...poo i got a itch to run. I can't take the kids running with me but I do enjoy the walks.

So I return to the surgeons September 11th. What a day to go. It's a Tuesday also. I am going to ask if the 6 months is a rolling time frame. My thought is that if I can maintain/loose wonderful. However if I gain and it escalates to a 40% BMI again it may be past a 6 month mark. So Lets say I start in January, come June (6 months) I have lost 30 pounds and fallen below my 40%, I start gaining weight in September....I continue to gain and then come the following march, I am back up to 275.  So if they look at the time period of October to march, those are my 6 months required for insurance documentation. 

I hope it does not come to that. IDEA LY I do this the right way and keep it up long term. 

Fingers crossed.  Need more water.
