4th month update

Feb 16, 2012

It has been 4 months. I still can't believe this has happened to me. I finally had the guts to stick with something and use it properly. I have lost a total of 89 lbs since my highest weight, and 69 since surgery. I feel like a completely different woman. I joined this bootcamp class that I go to twice a week, it's a very intense class and its helping me tone up. I have noticed that I am loosing way slower now- since the class. I don't beat myself up for it though, bcz i know that I am gaining a lot of muscle, eating right, and plenty of exercise. I started the stall about 2 weeks ago and it seems that the scale just started moving again. i am now a happy size 12 jeans, and L shirt -I need to go buy new clothes as nothign really fits. i still get the case of the slimmies and foamies every now and then, cz i simply dont know how to slow down when something is extra yummie. This is my biggest demon :( . The same goes for eating w/o any drinks!! its just soo hard :(  I also started loosing hair about 2 weeks ago. it's scary! I have very curly, unruly hair- i have to brush it in the shower w conditioner. The comb or brush comes back w sooo much hair, its sad. Thank god I have been a professional dieter all my life, and have gone through this before. My hair loss eventually stopped and new hair grew back, so Im not all that worried. There really isnt much that I can do, so I have decided to embrace my loss and future gain ;)

Lastly, my relationship with my hubby has changed a bit. I notice all the different eating habits we both have and really try to encourage him to embrace change and make a healthier lifestyle. He is not budging though, I don't want to be a nag, but I also don't want him to get sick. Prior to my surgery, we both had the same eating habits, and he was relatively healthy. Now he is getting constantly sick from over eating, he's a heavy smoker and won't life a finger for the life of him.

I don't know how else to encourage him w/o being a naggy wife LOL

Advice is appreciated ;)
