Not feeling so great about things today.
Jul 26, 2010
I guess I need a kick in the butt. I'm feeling pretty down today. It's my 6 mos surgiversary and I guess I was expecting to feel really great about things today but I'm not feeling it. First of all, my weight loss has really slowed down. Last month I lost only 10lbs but this past month it was only lost 5lbs. I've changed up my exercise, adding strength training and zumba last week. I hope that helps for next month.
Although I can wear size 10-12 now, my legs are still fat and the combination of that and the hanging skin and wrinkles on my thighs, butt, stomach and arms makes it hard to enjoy the new size as much right now. When I ask my husband how I look in things, he looks at me slowly, considering everything and then tells me the TRUTH. So, I'm not wearing any shorts or anything else that is too revealing at this point. So, I'm feeling pretty self-conscious about myself about now.
I only have another 30lbs or so to get to my goal. When I think about that, it seems amazing. I'm so happy to begin to think of myself as a "normal weight" person, fitting in with everyone else. My mind is messing with me and today, I'm just not feeling any of that. Just looking at the bad news in the mirror. I guess it would help if I had more good news to report about great losses but I'm hardly seeing the scale move. Hopefully, things will look up soon.
