4 week update

Oct 07, 2011

 Excited!! Just gt off the scale and am down another 12 pounds!!  I'm still at 328 but it beats being at my starting weight of 372.  So, 29 more pounds and I'll be out of the 300's and if I have anything to say about it, I will never be there again.  

The last 2 weeks have been up and down emotionally.  Protein is always a challenge and I work really hard at gettin as much other fluids in as I can.  Have been able to eat a lot of cream soups and was allowed to try things like deli meat this week and 1 or 2 ozs seems to stay down really good.  I ate too fast once and ended up throwing it back up. YUCK!!  Haven't tried eggs yet. Kind of scared with how many people say they get sick on them.  Cannot do another protein shake. I tried the other day and was gagging before I got it to my lips.  I am going to go to GNC and see if there is a tolerable one out there for me as I know I need more protein than what I am getting from the small amounts of food I am able to get in. That is my goal for the next week.  I go a few days early for my 6 week check up next week Thursday-about 5 days early- so I will be excited to see what other foods I can try to start adding since I am a little bored with the selections now.  Though I am learning to eat to live and not live to eat!!  My mind and how it thinks about food is slowly changing. I've accepted that there are certain foods that I may never be able to have but the trade off of losing all this extra weight off my body is starting to feel so worth it.  I always said I wanted control over what and how much  I put in my mouth and now I have that.  I hope to continue to mourn the loss of my comfort foods less and less and celebrate the new me more and more over the coming weeks. No one said this would be easy and the journey is only getting started but I think I'm off to a good beginning!! Will update again at the 6 week point!!!
