2 year anniversary is today

It feels like it was just yesterday when I was laying in that hospital room with all this hopes and dreams of this different body I was going to have.  My surgery weight was 273 and my current weight is 211.  I have staying between 207 - 213 for the last year.  I have tried everything to bring my weight under 200 with no success.  I'm sure I could work out a little more or eat a little less, but then I have the nutritionist telling me to ear more and exercise less.  I just gave up.  I don't usually over eat except for today.  I wish I could still have that hope and emotional adrenaline inside of me the way I did two years ago.  Don't get me wrong I have had so many benefits with the 62 lbs I left behind.  No more insulin and other meds.  I am more energetic and I'm not out of breath the way I use to be.  I am just afraid to be back at my starting weight or over it again some day.  There is no type of support at the hospital that I got my sleeve done or around my area.  So I am glad I came back to OH,  I think I mostly stayed away because of the guilt.  As I read through some of post I am not alone

Look at some of foods some of us eat.  I don't know your body - but look at my posts and what I have been doing. 

If I exercise too much - I get really hungry - my Bs drops and I have to eat and I gain weight. 

I have insulin resistance, I am on daily steroids supplements. but I lost 12 lbs in the last 2.5-3 months. IIt is not easy - but it can be done, but only if you truly believe you need to - want to. 

I really don't have to lose weight.. except my back is acting up again and I hate taking pain pills...  even at size 8-10 I was too heavy for my frame - so my doc told me to lose 15 -20 lbs.  I am down 12.. and have 5 more to go - no more than 8...

If you want suggestion to your menu - post that -  and ask for suggestions. 

if you don't want suggestions - just post as accountability.. 

putting down the extra serving of nuts in my MFP - makes me realized that the "handful": was worth 400 calories..

exercise?  yea - I am doing it - mostly passive.. I just restarted yoga .. try to do that 2-3 times a week. I do a lot of housework and cooking

My BF and I go to movies; we like action movies...(does that count ? it is action ?? :-) 

HUGS - it is not easy...
