Almost 10 months post op

Oct 30, 2009

Well, it has been approximately 4 months since I've blogged.  I can't believe how the months are flying by.  The last time I blogged, I was 203 lbs.  I am now 184 lbs and have been stuck at that weight for about a month now.  I am able to eat sooo much more than in the beginning and it gets scary.  I still haven't started tracking my food and keeping a food journal.  I tried to do so and did it for one day, ugh!  I really need to make that a habbit.  I do NOT want to have gone through all of this just to make bad eating choices, create bad habits again, and gain it all back.  The surgery is just a tool...it does not change my thinking!
Lately I have been worried about the intake of food and if my pouch is stretching back out.  I realistically had to think about the type of foods I am eating and the amounts I am putting away when I eat.  All in all, I eat pretty healthy with some bad choices.  I do overeat once in a while, but that is rare and not daily.  So I have to stop stressing out sooo much and just make good choices each day.  It is a struggle!
My goals this month are to start tracking my calories, food choices, and write it all down.  Also, I want to start creating a menu for the week to eliminate last minute food choices.  My life is really busy right now so I have to prepare big time!
I'm still greatful that I had the surgery and want to start exercising and enjoy life more.  I can do tons of more activities and hang with the best of them now!  I am also in a size 14 pant, and medium to large top...which I haven't seen those sizes in decades.  It feels great to have people compliment me and have guys looking...but I am still not used to getting this type of attention.  Its exciting and scary at the same time.  I can't believe I used to wear a size 24/26 in both top and bottom!  wow, amazing.  I didn't realize how big I was til I saw pictures.  How embarrassing!
Well, I will update on how I am handling my goals in a few weeks to a month.  Wish me luck!  I need to get on the ball asap~!!!!
