5 Month Update

Nov 28, 2010

Well another month has flown by and another 17 pounds gone forever giving me 122 pound loss so far. Another milestone was getting over half way to goal this month! I still question what my goal should be, but for now I am leaving it at a thin 155 pounds. My clothing sizes continue to drop, I can now comfortably wear a 1X and even many XLs! This was the first Thanksgiving I have had where I actually lost weight and felt absolutely great! I am getting used to my sleeve and it's odd quirks. I can definitely eat more on days when my hormones are busy trying to ruin my life, so on those days its all about dense protein and very low carb... My sleeve holds a bit more food these days which is good, still only about 3 ounces which makes me very happy. I am very much following my plan and exercising as much as possible. I have also started renovating my home, which is something I would not have dreamt of doing when I weighed 400 pounds! Over all life is very good. I have so much energy and enthusiasm now that I feel I have gotten my life back. I never want to go back to being so heavy and sluggish again. Maintenance is very much on my mind these days as I work to keep on track and lose 100% of my excess weight. I know how easy it is to return to old habits and ways, so I chose daily to keep on track and do what I can to succeed. Failure is not an option, this weight issue is life and death and I know I must always choose life and living life to the fullest.
