From 275 to 155 - not so bad ; )
July 26, 2011
It's been almost a year since my surgery - wow. I think i'm staying somewhere in my 150s (I'm too afraid to weigh myself after a month abroad), and I now know that I can stuff myself. I'm back on the wagon since being at home and super self-conscious not to start over-snacking or eating late at night before bed. A simple food diary every once and awhile reminds me to watch what I eat, and that every calorie does indeed count. I still try to make good, healthy food choices and trying to balance protein, calories, carbs and fiber.
Overall, life is still good on this side of the surgery - no problems except my panni still bugs me. It gets gross down there. Ick. That, and I'm still trying to figure out my clothing issues. Am I a 10 or a 12 or a 14? My clothes don't quite fit right, and even the size 10 jeans fall down and the 14 feels fine around the waist but sags in the butt. And there is a lot of extra skin (see panni issue) that I at times have to control with some sort of shape wear when I wear more form fiting clothes. Not that I'm complaining, just blogging about the experience. :)
