This is harder than I thought it would be..

Apr 29, 2010

I completely understand what they mean by the 'mourning' of food.  I am so tired of eating the same thing over and over again.  I know this is just a short span of time compared to the rest of my life.. and I know I have the inner ability to do this, I just didn't think that it would be this difficult... surgery was the easy part.

It does feel good to put on clothes that were previously snug... errr... well.. ok... TIGHT!  Does that make you feel better?  :) It does do my self esteem good to put on something that actually fits properly or in some instances be a bit loose.

I am committed to changing my health.. with almost 20lbs lost in 3 weeks time, I can already 'feel' a difference in the way that my body is responding physically.  I haven't had my blood pressure medication since my surgery and the bp is perfect!  Even my fibromyalgia seems to be responding better.  My blood sugar has been within normal range and not teetering on the high side as it was before.

I do hope that at some point I will actually be able to enjoy food again... but for now... the thrill is gone.
