Long over-due update

Sep 14, 2010

Hi,

I was surprised when I looked at the calendar and noted that it was past my 3 year anniversary date and I didnt even give it a thought! I have been at 193 to 198 for a year or better now. Did I want to stay there, no. I just got lazy and let my day to day routines take over. So much so that when my 3 year surgery anniversary came..I didnt even notice. The band does it's job. It keeps me from overeating. I have not done my job and kept exercising and journaling and eating correctly to keep losing weight. Not once have I thought...I'm just gonna stay here..I dont mind it. Actually, its too close to 200 lbs for my comfort and if I feel this good at 193..well how would I feel at 150 or 145! I began this journey at 306. My life is very different now. I dont mind the heat and I swim and try new things and love shopping and love my life and so much more has changed for me. Now, Im back to it..not that I really left it..I just went back to being complacent. So, I began journaling, keeping track of exercise, calories, fat and protein and water intake. Began revisiting this site and just being mindful instead of mindless. My surgeon left and before he left I got my last fill and have not been back. I don't need a fill, but maybe I should call and check in. I think it has been a year. I dont drive the 50 minutes to the 1 x monthly meetings, but think I might start. Anything to get me moving in the right direction, downward!!!!
