5 years! Holy Cannoli!

Oct 18, 2011

Wow, it'll be 5 years next month since I've posted! I have not forgotten about this site, in fact, I've been thinking about it the whole time, in the back of my brain...
I can't even begin to fill u in but, you'll be happy to know that I've kept the weight off and have actually restarted my weight loss journey. I still have my tool! I still can only eat about an 8 year old's portion of food! My issues have been about WHAT I eat and no exercise.
So, I've begun to realize that no one can make me lose this weight but me, I have to be ready, and there are no easy shortcuts! This surgery is like a kickstart, not a solution. I'm taking it slow though. I'm slowly changing my eating habits so that I don't feel like I'm missing something.- That's one of my biggest gripes about dieting. I'm also adding exercise to my routine. SLOWLY. I've either been walking a mile next door on the track or going 20 mins. on the Gazelle. (I started doing only 10 mins.) I've also purchased the Wii Fit Plus and will doing that on the weekends.
Hmmm, let's see, the changes that I've made to my diet so far are: from whole milk to fat free, english muffin to multi grain english muffin, one less sugar in my coffee, special K bar instead of something out of the vending machine at work, olivio instead of butter, sugar-free cocoa instead of regular (for my mocha coffee), I'm planning to switch to sugar substitute in my coffee as well. and water instead of  sweetened iced tea. I have to make myself like water. This is crucial!!
I'll post more changes as I remember them and make them too.
So, I hope to be posting on here regularly again... Please comment if you have any questions or suggestions.
