5 Year Anniversary

Apr 02, 2013

Well folks, today is the 5 year anniversary of my surgery.  I have done well in terms of side effects, eating problems, etc.  The only "big" problem I have now is regain.  I have put back on over 40lbs of the weight I originally lost.  I am soooo mad at myself for letting it happen.  I thought for sure this was the solution to my lifelong battle against my weight. Probably my biggest problem is that I never had an issue after surgery of eating sugars which I loved and ate too much of before surgery.  I have NEVER dumped on an foods, including sugars, and I think that is a big part of my problem.  I think that if I had I might not have been eating them with abandon!  I did so much work to get this weight off initiailly and am doing a way too good job of putting it back on.  I looked at the photos of me on Sunday (Easter) with my family and I couldn't even post the picture because I was too embarrassed and afraid of what friends and family would say (or not say) when they saw it.

 

Have others of you had this problem?  Any solutions besides sheer willpower (mine sucks!!!). I have 25th wedding anniversary coming up in two months and we are going to Mexico for two weeks and am looking forward to it, but not wanting to take pictures with me in them.  I LOVED having my picture taken after surgery up until the last year and now just want to be the photographer.  So sad!  Any advice, help, encouragement is certainly appreciated!
