I haven't written in my Blog for a very long tme. I have always been overweight and always been on one diet of some type or another. Weight Watcher, South Beach, Xenical. Needless to say, I am still overweight. After 45 years of struggling with my weight, I finally "broke down" and had bariatric surgery. On June 25, 2007, at 319 lbs, I took control of my life and had the RNY surgery. I haven't reqreted it yet. In a years time, I lost 115lbs and maintained that for another year. I kept trying (to some extent), but never reached onderland. Then I had my abdominalplasty. I got complancant, quit exercising and didn't pay attention to what I ate and gained 40lbs back. I was scared. I tried, but couldn't stop the weight gain. I did research and had the band overbypass. This stopped my weight gain. I did lose - not as much as I wanted but lost 25lbs.
The thing that bothers me the most is I am a control freak, but for some reason when it comes to my weight, I lose all control. So, here I am - 53 years old, 215lbs and ready to take control of my diet again and get to onderland. I have 7 weeks to lose 16lbs. It's going to tough, but I can do it.
I always have this plan. I just don't stick to it. 7 weeks - that's all I am asking myself to do. 7 weeks of taking control. I know i may lose control, at times, but I'm going to work it.
How -
1. 1000 - 1200 calories a day.
2. log everything I put in my mouth.
3. exercise - 7000 steps a day and strength training.
I am going to do this.
