9 months post op

Aug 25, 2009

Long time, I know.  I have had all sorts of changes thrown at me over the last six months.  I am losing my job of 20 years in Jan. 2010.  I have lost 168 lbs since March 2008!!!!  My parents have had surgery/been ill (only child here).  Needless to say, the stress eating is HERE.....don't think it ever left!!!
I find myself eating larger portions than I should.  1/2 cup?????  Dont' happen much.  I am really trying to stick to less than 1600 cals a day with cardio 3-4 times a week and strength 2 times....more or less.
This is the hardest damn thing I've ever done.....but if I can maintain this loss and lose more, it will be the BEST thing I've ever done!
My BF says I have changed.....everything ebout me has changed.  I disagree and tell him I am the same woman....just a lil more confident!  Needless to say, he's eating the same way he did when we met....and not exercising the same way!
I've had no complications and Dr. Bour says I am at where I should be 9 mos out.  My iron was low and went on supplement...that's it so far.  His goal for me is 165, BMI below 30!.  I am 9 lbs from my goal of under 200.....so another 35 after my goal.  I can do it.
I have gone from size 30W to 16W or 18 reg......WOOOHOOO I can actually find clothes in the normal section!  A XL t-shirt is too big!!!
Stay tuned....next time you never know how things will be.....lol
