Progress

Jul 20, 2010

Well so far I have been moving along pretty well. I am down 10lbs since surgery 3 weeks ago and am looking forward to being able to chew. The only issue I have really had is bowel movements and that is pretty common for my phase right now just because I am not getting as much fiber as I am accustomed to. I hope to have a significant amount of weight loss by my birthday this year that would be the best present to myself.

People were correct when they stated that this is a tool for weight loss and not a fix all because behavior does not change over night and you have to be dedicated to the decision made to lose this weight. I still have not told my family yet because I don't need any unwarranted stress right now. My husband knows and he has been so supportive throughout this whole process that I am just floored with amazement by him. He is a very structured by the book type person and for him to be everything I need right now has been an awesome asset. Anytime I need something from the grocery store or just someone to talk to about what I have been thinking or feeling he has been there. He has made me love him even more.

Allot of people have said that you need a strong marriage before you go into this; I understand why now and because I have been an emotional basket case sometimes and he has truly been my rock. I really am going to appreciate celebrating being married to him for ten years this year.
