The good news is I'm down to my ideal weight. I completed my first Marathon last week and next week I'll be competing in my first Triathlon. NOT!

Truth is I'm heavier now than I've ever been. Surgery hasn't worked for me. Not that i blame the surgery, it just wasn't the right choice for me. Even with the restriction I wouldn't stop eating. I'd eat, purge, then eat again. The only thing that would stop me eating was the discomfort in my throat from the constant purging.

Like I've done so many times before I did lose wait the old fashioned way a few months ago. I didn't diet, i just reduced my portion sizes and made a few modifications. I lost about 40 pounds. As usual i put it all back on and then some.

The only good news is my body continues to get stronger. When I had the surgery i was nearly crippled by the weight. I couldn't stand for more than a minute nor could I walk very far. Even though I'm significantly heavier now my body has adapted again. Everything still hurts but I am more mobile.

What next? I guess I'll try again to lose weight with the reduced portion and better choices method. I just need to get it through my thick head that this needs to be a permanent change and not a short term thing.
