One Year and Counting!

So technically tomorrow is one year since surgery, but I normally weigh in on Wednesdays since last year my surgery was on a Wednesday. So I weighed in today at 157lbs, down 111lbs since having my surgery!! At this point I am pretty much a perfect 12 across the board. Some pants I still need a 14 in but that is b/c all my weight has always been in my tummy and I am happy with that! Of course I will cheat and weigh in again tomorrow just do double check and of course I will use my lower weight between today and tomorrow as my official one year weight loss. I feel that after everything I have been through I am entitled to a little cheat like that! Not feeling real well today though, Splenda and some poor eating from over the weekend have gotten the best of me. BAD tummy and back ache since Monday. I thought it would have all be gone by today and it would have if it wasn't for the fact the Sugar Free Fudgesickle I ate last night turned out to be sweetened w/ Splenda. So that is killing me today. The normal brand I buy does not use Splenda. BOO HOO! I will be ok I am sure by tomorrow! But must just be very careful with food, my ugly eating disorder is rearing it's ugly head once again and not doing too well with it all! Found a new therapist who so far seems very cool and hopefully will help me work through all this! I have no idea as to why, but I was so good with all my food for so long post op but then it all just snapped in my head and I have been bad once again, but thank god, I have been able to maintain and continue to lose weight, but honestly I think that is what is keeping me in my bad food behaviors, b/c I see that I am still losing despite the binging on CRAP food! Time to straighten out and STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you to everyone for your support over the last year! I really do appreciate everything from everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will have updated one year pictures up soon! LOVE TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ilyssa 268/157/ Do I want to go further???
