7 weeks today

Nov 19, 2009

It's been 7 weeks today since  I had surgery.  Today was the first time that I wondered "what have I done??"  I've lost 32 lbs since surgery but it just seems to be coming off so slow!  I am trying to increase my calories  to about 1000 or so every day but have a hard time doing this!  My nut said this was probably the reason why I wasn't losing steadily!  The first 20 lbs came off in 2 wks.   But I get nauseous and sick feeling with alot of foods still. I have a problem with getting on the scale every day so last week I had my hubby take it out of the bathroom and am going to weigh myself once a week from now on. 
I am trying to focus on identifying  what has led to me gaining so much weight and on developing better habits to combat these things.   I have actully got a good handle on these, I think!
#1) really bad eating habits. (like eating once a day, and then nothing too healthy)
#2)eating out of boredom and when stressed. This one is HUGH!  I always have eaten when stressed and this is my      toughest one to overcome.
#3)not drinking enough. (maybe I would have 1-2 glasses of water a day)
#4) not enough exercise.  This is a tough one too because of my long 12 hr night shifts!

I have plans to overcome these obstacles and will be working on these daily. Hopefully I will suceed!
