Re-focus time (again)

Oct 24, 2010

24 October 2010

It's been 3 years since I had my RNY, and I'm not at goal.  Hell, I'm not at my initial goal--to weigh less than 300 lbs.  I went to the doctor's office and I weigh 344, up from 342 on the last visit in July.  Well shazaam!  He wants me to give up sweet tea and fried chicken.  I asked him if he wanted me to choke someone. Hahaha!  I don't have any excuses.  None I can clearly say hey, it's this blah, blah blah that has caused me not to stall at my weight loss. 

I can offer the truth---I didn't exercise, take vitamins daily, or continue to visit my surgeon.  Those all contributed to my lack of continued success.  I won't view it or myself as failures, because I've never lost 84 lbs. before and managed to somewhat maintain it.  I can live with 2 lbs gained in 2 months, because while I was at school, I was too stressed.  I'm a stress eater, but I managed not to gain any more than that.

So it's refocus time again.  I have started working out at the gym, three times a week.  I do weight training and walking.  I'm also planning to get back up to my surgeon's to see what options are available.  I know, I know what I said earlier but that was before my months and months of stalling.  I am exercising to see if the problem is me and not the need for revision.  After that, we shall see.

Still thankful for my surgery. Holla y'all
