1 1/2 year Post-op

Jan 16, 2011

I'm still holding on to my weight of 160lbs, even though I work out religiously. I don't t look at it as a bad thing, I mentioned it just as a reference to my progress. Others swear that I'm losing wieight, but No, I'm a "scalewatcher" and it says (every morning) 160lbs. I've slacked off on my eating habits also. Instead of being very meticulous about it (my husband says obsessive) I eat whatever I cook for my family, I just don't eat as much. I know that I'm a sweets eater also, so that could be a huge contributer in my stagnet weightloss. I'm happy, and I think I've become comfortable with it (160 lbs) Deeep down inside I think I'm really afraid to get any smaller, because I keep getting comments like "How much more weight are you trying to lose?", and "Girl! you don't need to lose anymore weight!", I've even been told by a close friend that I'm starting to look like a "Crackhead". Hmmmmn, and I didn't do this to look sick, I like looking healthy. I'm 5' 2" at 160lbs and I wear a size 8. A size 6 is the smallest I think I want to go, so it is what it is. If I get there, Oh well........I'm still loving life, having a great time with my friends and family. I've even been seriously thinking about going back to work. I just need to figure out what it is I want to do. I've been out of work for the past 9 1/2 years raising my daughter, but now I feel like being more than just Mom and Wife. I'm ready to spread my wings and see where life takes me.  I'm loving this journey!
