I'm a whiner and I need to change my outlook.

Jun 11, 2009

    Sometimes it's just so hard to put all of this into persprctive.  I will try to state the positives and keep on truckin towards my goal.  I have gone from a size 22 to a size 14/16.  It depends on the clothes but I am mostly in 14's.  Yesterday on my evening walk...I actually jogged!  And the best part was I wasn't tired or out of breath!  I felt great!  I have so much energy now that most nights I have a hard time sleeping.  B4 surgery I would sleep all night and take up to 2 naps a day.  I don't have pitting edema anymore and my bloodwork at my 3 mo appt was spot on.  I am really trying to eat in the morning and I have found that if I get up by 5:30 I feel ready to eat a couple of hours later.  My protien is on average 80-100 gr a day and carbs are below 90..  Calories tend to be in the 900-1200 range depending on how busy my day is or hoe close I am to TOM.  TOM throws me off each month and I am ravenous for about 4 days b4 my period arrives.  

I will not give up...I have worked too hard.  But I do have my moments and clearly, when I posted on the WL failure board, I was having one.    Jill
