Dec 25, 2012

The holiday period from Thanksgiving to now has been a blur. Busy at work, busy at home. Busy, busy, busy. During Thanksgiving, I did great without overeating. I did sample a little of this and that. But I was very pleased that I didn't over-indulge. However, the week after Thanksgiving, which was stressful due to family drama, was a mess (there's one person who creates drama in every family, isn't there?). I ate a pc of pie every day, and other off-limits stuff. Thought I was getting away with it the first day or two, till the tummy kicked in and was heard from. That all lead to a 3 week weight loss stall, during which time I had my 4 month post-op check. They were happy with my wt loss at 55 lbs, which was "ahead of expectation for a revision," but I was still thinking about my dietary indiscretions and feeling like a failure. After that visit, at ~215, I kicked back into healthy eating/exercise mode and have lost 5 lbs since then. YAY! I'm feeling more positive now. The surgeon wants me below or at 200 by my next visit in April. I'm shooting for at least that much.  On a bright note, we went to Key West the beginning of December and walked the entire island! Felt great being down 55#.
