I'm officially OVERWEIGHT (according to BMI scale)

Jan 09, 2013

Why the excitement to be overweight? Well, since the majority of us are or have been (Super Morbidly, in my case) Obese, overweight is definitely a step in the right direction. I'll take overweight any day of the week. I really had no comprehension as to how much better my life would be after having surgery.

I also had an epiphany on my portion sizes. I was making dinner for my mother and grandmother while visiting them. My mother said "Wow you can eat all of that?" It was, in my opinion, a "normal" person sized meal. I eat take out every so often and the majority of the time I have only a half to a third of the ridiculously sized meal. She said that the few people she knows who have had RNY take a few bites and are full. I'm 20 months out from my surgery and still losing, albeit slowly (just had a 2 month plateau).

I was also talking to my husband about my old eating habits. Let's just say it's no wonder I was the weight I was.

I'm 19lbs (or 9lbs if I feel alright at 160lbs) from goal. I still measure (religiously) and journal (not so religiously) and take care to eat well. I didn't even graze during Xmas.
