2 year follow up appt coming soon. AWWW!

May 26, 2011

2 year follow up appointment is just around the corner.  I can't believe it has been this long already.  I feel like it was just a couple of months ago.  It's crazy how time flys by when you're healthier and keeping active.  I'm always working, taking care of my parents (due to disabilities), attending to the husband and kids, helping my brother out on the weekends selling electronics and gaming stuff at the flea markets and delivering water-slide rentals on the weekends. I still find time to go dancing at least once a week with my husband too.  There is no way I would have been able to keep that busy when I weighed 328 lbs.  I feel burnt out at times like I'm doing too much, but it's all worth it.  Up until this afternoon I was feeling like a failure for allowing myself to gain 13 lbs in the past couple months.  My lowest weight was 165 and I now weigh 178.  My doc wants me to weigh 160.  My goal is 165.  I wrote a post yesterday about how I felt like a failure for gaining weight.  Coming back onto OH has made me realize that I have lost a lot of weight and that I'm practically 1/2 the size I use to be so I have accomplished a lot and should be extremely proud of myself.  It's good that I caught the weight gain now and not later down the road.  It's good that I have acknowledged that I have to do something to get back on track.  I know that I have to stop drinking my 3-4 Coronas every weekend, stop eating candy, reduce my bread intake and go back to drinking/eating my protein first.  Protein daily requirement has always been hard for me to reach but I need to remind myself that going back to weighing 328 lbs will even be harder and even devastating.  I hadn't blogged on OH for a while and now I realize what I was missing.  OH gives me support, confidence, motivation and above all some "act-right".  LOL  Thanks for reading and i hope to stay connected.  Love you All!
