Catching Up... 9.4.09
Sep 04, 2009
Hi everyone - It has been such a long time since I have posted a blog and decided to catch up on where I am at. At my last official weigh in with my doctor (8.24.09) I was 162... putting me at a 58 lbs loss so for. My initial goal was 150, so I have 12 lbs to go. Once I get there I may set a new goal, but not sure. So my "honeymoon" period has definitely ended at 7 months and I notice I have to work much harder at trying to get the weight off. I noticed I can consume more food, and as I had the sleeve I do not have any problems with "dumping", so I can eat pretty much anything... which is not exactly a good thing. I'm sooo happy with the weight loss so far, but I have noticed my thought pattern and eating habits are returning to the old me, which scares me. I am starting to beat myself up again emotionally when I eat wrong. So, because of this I started some counseling to try to figure out "the head hunger" issues and why I am doing what I am doing. I have also joined a boxing club and started training in boxing. I always like the idea of taking my anxiety, depression or frustration out by punching a bag and I have to say I am 2 classes in and love it, even though it's kicking my butt. I like that I don't mind sweating and being physically challenged... the old me would have never done that. I am committed to sticking with the classes for 3 months at least as the old me always started something and never finished it when dieting or exercising. I recently went to Tennessee on vacation and actually like myself in the pictures taken. Some pictures even shocked me on how different I look. What a great feeling!!!So that's where I am at. Hoping the therapy and exercise helped me get back on track to lose the 12 lbs to get to goal and continue in a healthy lifestyle. Hoping all is well with all my OH friends.
Cheers-
