Slow Weight Loss??

Sep 10, 2010

I've lost 45 lbs in just about 3 months.  Sounds great, except I've only lost 2 of those pounds in 3 weeks.   ReallY?  A plateau already?  Ughhhhhhhhh.  I think that I'm nibbling on to many carbs.  When I get home, I grab a small handful of Cheez Its.  Or I have some baked potato chips.  I've even had a couple cookies over that 3 weeks.  Hmph!  Maybe I'm not dropping as fast as I should cause I'm eating stuff I'm not supposed to.  Maybe typing this down will make me see the light?  I've been really stressed out with my sons football league.  I'm a board member and the team mgr.  Somehow, someway, I managed to let other people throw some of their task onto my lap.  I'm sure strangling them will make me feel MUCH better, but I'm sure there's lots of carbs in jail, so I should avoid that.  I've been to the gym twice since I last posted.  I'm needed at the field where I'm pulled into 20 different directions at once.  Awwwwwwwwww..........I'm so needed.  NOT!!  Anyway, here I am writing this blog to vent a little baout what my life is like 1 day shy of my 3 month post op. I eat everything except for eggs, hotdogs, hamburger patty.  They all get "stuck" .  Maybe not stuck, but that's what it feels like.  And its terrible.  I did learn to like the taste of red onion and cucumber though!  YAY!  I'm frustrated that I've only lost 2 pounds in 3 weeks.  Sorta makes me feel like I did before the surgery where I would eat low calories, low fat.  Exercise 4 days a week and then only lose 3 pounds in a month.  It's so incredibly discouraging.  I'm fitting into a size 18 now.  A little snug, but I can wear them without too much of a muffin top!!  I've gotten lots of compliments.  That's quite the ego booster!!  I have noticed my behind area has gotten pretty darn flabby.  I tend to squish it a lot when I'm walking around in my undies.  Which is not often, just when I'm in the middle of getting dressed.  My boobs are getting smaller.  That's not always a plus.  At least not for me.  And they're starting to look like empty socks.  YIKES!  I did make an appt with my Nutritionalist next week.  I'm hoping she will scold me and make me fill out one of them meal logs.  I have an appt with my surgeon in a few weeks.  According to the weight loss schedule on this obsesityhelp site, I'm about 10 pounds behind schedule.  That stinks!  Anyway, I'm hoping to knock off my self sabatoge soon and get back to the proptein, lots of water and exercising soon!!
