4 months out

Jul 17, 2010

4 months out and down a total of 90 pounds! Woohoo! I'm feeling GREAT about the weight loss and better health! I am wearing a size 18 now which boggles my mind. I'm starting to get the double-takes and compliments from friends and family. Wow, it feels so good!

I'm eating pretty much whatever I want nowdays. Bread and pasta don't really work for me, but I honestly don't miss it. Actually, I have thought it would be wonderful to have a sandwich once in awhile, but that's it. 

Things have been really tough around here lately. My Dad's cancer has returned. He had tonsillar cancer about 2 years ago. After a grueling treatment process, he was pronounced "cured". Apparently some cancer cells had set up shop in his spine, and now he has cancer in his spine, both femurs and both shoulders. Right now the kids and I have basically moved in with him so I can help him out. It has been stressful and I really need to find another outlet for my stress besides food. At least I'm not stuffing myself with huge quantities like before the surgery, but I am grazing and snacking all the time. I'm not sure what I need to do to quit it, but I do know it needs to stop. This surgery has been an amazing blessing, and I promised myself I would never waste this amazing opportunity.
