i'm doing great, but weight loss has slowed

Aug 14, 2010

Well i am doing great and so grateful for the wonderful gift of the sleeve.  I seem to have hit a rut in the road.  I know this is my own fault as i have been slacking off seriously on my eating.   I have said all along that i have a bigger sleeve than most of you and that is something that i just have to live with.  I hit onderland in July and now i'm 194 which i am thankful for but i should be weighing less.  So this is me committing to getting back on track.  Just because i can eat more doesn't mean that i should. I have been consuming more calories than is recommended so i really need to get back on track.    I feel so much better than i had been.  i couldn't lift my left leg to wash my foot in the shower, i had to use a long handled shower scrub brush to wash my foot and yesterday realized that i'm able to bend and lift my foot to wash it without the brush.  I have arthritis and the pain shows up in my left leg/groin area so not sure when i started washing my own foot with my hand again, i just looked down yesterday and realized i was washing without the brush,  yeah for me.  So this is me recommiting to measuring and logging my food.  This is just for me so i can look back on my journey and see where i was so i can see where it has gotten me.   I couldn't have done it without all the great friends i have made here on OH.  Thanks to all of you,  Jeani
