Almost 10 weeks

May 03, 2009

I haven't been here in a while because I have been incredibly busy and haven't had much to say.  Since my last posting I had hit a frustrating plateau!  Everyone had told me that it was normal and not to panic...but after 2 weeks I did get a little panicked because in the past diets would work for me for a few months and then stop working.  I was so afraid this was what was happening with my surgery.  However, today I checked my weight and am 2.7 pounds down from my plateau.  Thank God!  During that time I was trying to focus on how good I feel and telling myself that even if I didn't lose any more weight I was still happy to have had the surgery because I was almost 45 pounds lighter.  I still really want to focus on health rather than the numbers on the scale because I don't want to be obsessed and have my emotions affected by the scale all the time.  This is really important to me!

But anyway, I am over the plateau and still feeling great!  Also, checking in here today reminded me that although I had almost a 3 week plateau, I am still ahead of the game in terms of how fast I am losing and in comparison with other diets I have been on.  I am very happy and I hope all my friends here are feeling good and doing well.
