Well, I know it's been a while since I last posted. I'm really not good at expressiing how I feel. Never have been. But here goes: I am down to 247 as of this morning, which is great!!! I am so happy that I did this for myself but sometimes it also makes me sad. I still have not gotten the hang of really eating. Nothing really tastes the same anymore. On occasion I may eat something that I truly enjoy but mostly I eat because I know that I have to. I need the protein to continue losing and for my health.This weekend my boyfriend and I went to a crawfish boil at his friend's house. I've never eaten crawfish because in my mind, that is too much work for the little meat you are going to get! I had lots of fun meeting new people, lauhging and talking. I have not laughed that much in a long time. They were all eating and drinking but I didn't. They had some chicken also that they had grilled. I had a couple of pieces of that and some shrimp cocktail. It dawned on me that there were no vegetables in site. There was lots of food but no vegetables! Before WLS, I would have never noticed that. I am aware of what I can and can't eat but sometimes I just get frrustrated. But I am on my journey and loving the fact that I can wear smaller sizes and feeling good.
