Topic: Do you food journal?
Initially post-op, I was VERY good about keeping a food journal on fitday.com. However now it's been like 2 months or more since I entered anything in there except my weight. How are you all doing on food journaling? Are you or aren't you? If not, do you think you should? I need to. My weight loss has slowed down and I'm eating too much sugar and carbs lately. It'd be interesting to see how much I am truly eating an such and take control again.

Topic: Double-Take!!!
I had left the church I was going to pre-op to attend one closer to home. Well, I finally decided to go back to my church and it's amazing the reaction I am getting from men that haven't seen me in months. It's kind of cool. I was walking towards the coffee shop to get a bottle of water and two guys from the singles class were sitting outside eating before service. One looked and me and kept looking at me with a look like, is that Trisha or wait, yeah, I think it is her, wait no, yeah it is....type look and then his friend sitting at the table turned around to see what his friend was looking and almost choked on his food and said, "Hi, Trisha!!! Wow, you look great!!" I said thanks and kept walking. LOL His friend just sat there and had kind of a smile on his face, not saying anything even though his mouth opened. The compliment made me feel beautiful and thin, but then it also made me uncomfortable. I don't know why either.
Then I went to church that night and another guy from the single's class did a double take of me as well and I finally smiled and said hi to him and he was like, "h-h-hi..Trisha?" I said yes. He then looked at me all in awe and went "hi".
Okay, if men are doing this now, what's it going to be like when I lose 80 more pounds? LOL I'm not used to men looking at me and getting tongue tied. It's flattering but then it's also unnerving. I hope I get used to it and don't have pysch issues about it. It's been a while since I dated too. So I'm trying not to be vulnerable either.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.

It's flattering and wonderful to get compliments on our weight loss, but then it also can be uncomfortable being the center of attention. I love getting compliments, but I also don't like it too probably because of what you said before about not being used to getting positive attention like that. I'm used to getting compliments on things I do (events, parties, work, etc.) but not used to getting compliments on my body. I love it, but then on the other hand, I have issues too. It's hard to explain.
Congrats on your WOW moment. That is awesome!! Keep up the good work. You are doing fantastic, Michelle!!

I know. Can you imagine where we'd be if we didn't have this surgery? My gosh! I'd probably be over 400 lbs and out of control! I wonder how much it would be if we totalled up all the weight this group has lost since March. I know it'd be a LOT!!
