week 6

Aug 06, 2013

So here we are 6wks post op. I am finally able to squeeze into a pair of 18 shorts I have (though they are still snug). Something that is pretty exciting though is I pulled out all my cute clothes from before I had my son and they all fit again! I am down to 248 now which is 3lbs again. That seems to be my current going rate, 3lbs a week. I am a little disappointed because I really wanted to be down to 240 by my son's birthday this Saturday but that would be 8 more lbs in 4 days which is super unlikely at this pace. I realize 3lbs is really good and I wouldn't have been able to accomplish that before surgery but still, I'm a little disappointed. I exercised a lot more this week but lost the same amount of weight. I saw my surgeon yesterday for my 6wk appt and he was pleased with my progress. I am excited about this Thursday though. It is my birthday (23!) and my husband is taking me on a date. I already chose the dress I am wearing. It is one that I hadn't worn since before my son came along because after, it just hugged in all the wrong places. Now I think it looks sexy again! ...Idk though. I guess it's maybe because I set an unrealistic goal for myself and then failed but after losing 30lbs total now, I am feeling fat. Trying to stay positive and look at the big picture. Maybe next week, I'll have better spirits to report.
