This is a hard slog.................
Mar 13, 2009
Yikes, I've worked so hard to get down into the 100's, see my last blog, but I seem to be sabotaging myself at every turn. I did get down to 195lbs, but the last 2 weeks I have bounced back up to and stayed at 198lbs. My problem is that after the surgery I hated food and if I never had to eat again it would have been o.k. But now 5 months have gone by and i am really enjoying my food again, so of course I think "oh id love to eat that" and then I do. An example would be when I was away with work we went to an indian restruant, and they had a buffet. So I was good, only a small scoop of rice and chickpeas, lentils and pea curry, and only one serving, no somosas, naan breads or indian deserts. Ok, so I had a much smaller amount and I used common sense, but still, I liked it when I could only manage a few spoonfuls of chicken broth and I was full! I seem to be able to eat most foods now (although not meats and chicken is very hard to eat, so I avoid these), but i do make sure i stick to small portions. And then last night I ate a small bag of potato chips. I guess eating a bag of chips isn't the end of the world, but to me it marks a significant pitiful and is a big warning as I certainly don't want to end up back at 300lbs again. So, now i have to explore other food options, that taste good, seem like a tasty treat of some kind, but are higher in protein, so I am on the right track. I think I have my work cut out for me, unless anyone out there who has had a similar experience can give some advise or suggestions? I'm also having trouble keeping regular, and horrifyingly enough I can go 5-7 days without going to the bathroom, so I am sure that doesn't help the situation either. And this is despite me taking high fiber pills every day!
