preop weight loss started

Jun 09, 2009

In 2005, I used the 'glycemic index diet' to lose 30 lbs.  it was a healthy way to eat but i started adding fast food and that was a slippery slope of calories and fat.  It is super easy and now i am ready to use it as a tool to lose my weight.  so last week my and my support person started taking in less calories.  the good news is i started to lose weight.  I was worried that this was an impossible task.   i haven't really lost weight in a year and i am 17 lbs heavier than last time I started a weight loss program.

so when i got on the scale Monday morning...5 days later i have lost 4.5 lbs.  It is so great to be able to lose some weight and not feel like this is a waste of time. I am believing i can continue to my goal of losing 98lbs.  i have never done it before but i am hopeful and willing to work with my new tool - lap band!

OK, i got on scale today and i was up 3 lbs! WHAT no way what do i do.  I have a digital scale and it is accurate.  I was having a meltdown.  It is a good thing i am working on my mental processes and sorting though the issues of my life.  I was sad to say the least.  I took my shower and toweled off.  I decided to get  back on the scale and stand carefully in the center.  It was a miracle of science! the digital scale was now back on track and my weight was the same as Monday.  Thank goodness.

i know it seems trivial but i am shocked at how i am effected by my new weight loss issues that occur in my mind moment to moment.  It is the war in the mind that gets me down.  I have many choices.  These choices come one at a time and i can chose well.  I am trusting myself. I have value just as I am.  The improvement to my body will enable me to do more physically and i will continue to improve my journey of self in relationship to God who loves me.
