1 Year Post Op--A little late! :-)

May 30, 2009

I cannot believe it's been a year!

I struggle with my sugar addiction everyday but am able to keep it under control .  It IS NOT EASY!!!!  Never let anyone tell you it is easy!  In the beginning it wasn't too bad but now the mental addiction behavior is hard to deal with.

I do not get physically hungry.

I can eat 1/2-1C of food  at  a meal and be  full.

I still follow the rules and do not drink when I eat.  I even watch the clock.

I still food journal everyday.  I have had some BAD days but I get right back to it!

I still exercise everyday and have started P90X!  What a workout!!!

My weight does fluxuate between 120 and 135.  I do not like getting up to 135.  Who would've thought I'd ever say that?  LOL  I have to say that I really like 120.  When you are trim and fit you can really see where you put on the weight.  Even if people say things like: "You look drawn"...I say: "Well, if I gain weight it's only fat and that's not good"   I officially have a "trouble spot" and it is the love handles!  LOL  When you weigh 120 you know exactly where you put weight on.

I can officially tell when I am bloated!  I guess I never saw the difference at 250 lbs.

My life has totally changed since surgery.  All for the better and I would do it over and over if I had to.  I have no regrets!!  I am amazed at the things I can do.  I surprise myself about once a week with things like darting around the house outside and chasing my kids without getting winded, walking fast and not thinking twice about it.  Carrying shopping bags without getting tired.  (This is from strength training and P90X)  I should write them down as they happen because it is just amazing!  I treasure each victory because it makes me feel great.  I may not share as they happen because I don't want people to think that's all I talk about but boy do I smile and enjoy the moment!

I wish everyone the very best.  You can do this!  Stay motivated and have a positive attitude and you will not believe the super changes that take place in your life. 

I will attempt to keep my blog updated!
