2 years and some change out

Jul 05, 2013

Im now 2 years out from surgery as of May 9th. Last year I was pretty complacent and didnt lose much and actually gained back some weight over the winter months and holidays. Then funny thing I hit a wall and said to myself "Im not happy here!" It wasnt good enough to be where I was and I wanted to make and reach some new goals. I actually had to make all those lifestyle changes they tell you to make, and ummm yeah I really hadnt bothered with. I pretty much have done okay with food this last 6 months, its actually downright easy 90% of the time. I have great restriction, rarely snack, eat protein first and very little bread, pasta, potatoes, rice. Admittedly mainly because they make me feel like something is trying to rip through my chest but whatever works! I dont eat many sweets, again mainly because they make me sick as a dog now. I started going to the gym and working out. I go 4-6 days a week and I hate every drop of sweat but it feels so damn good when Im done. I get that accomplished feeling and funny thing when I am tempted to eat something I now think why would I want to #1...feel like crap if I do and #2...I dont want to break even for the day and abuse my trip to the gym. I am no longer reclusive, staying at home and being depressed. I go out and have fun, I date, I feel attractive, I like looking good and taking care of myself now, I have an awesome group of friends now who are encouraging and fun...for the first time in my life I am actually living and not at the edges watching and avoiding.
