Just an update...

Jun 05, 2014

It's been close to two months since I last posted. Today is my 7 month surgiversary! Today I weighed in at 177.4!! That makes me down 79 pounds since surgery, down 119 total! I feel amazing, and am so happy. I've been struggling a lot, recently, with food choices. It is SO easy to fall back into old habits. I keep reminding myself why I made this life change, and find ways to stay motivated, but if there is one thing I know, it is that I will always struggle with food. I just pray that this surgery has allowed me to have the upper hand for once. I can't believe I'm in the 170's! My brain still automatically puts a "2" in front of my weight, so I keep thinking 270's...the fact that it's a "1" is just so crazy to me. I keep setting goals for myself, so far i have reached my first two (be down 100 pounds by my birthday 3/31 - reached it! And weigh 180 by my husband's college graduation, 6/7 - reached it!). So my next goal is to be 160 by August 29. We're going to Disneyland with the whole family then. At this point I feel like that is VERY reachable for me, but I set the bar lower just in case I start losing slower at this point. I am still, ever so grateful, for the new life RNY has given me.
