February Update

Feb 25, 2012

All is well in my little world.  I am still maintaining my weight at 131 as of this morning.  I did see 129 for a brief moment and that was crazy as I never expected to see me in the 120's -- Maintaining is actually going very well.  I weigh myself every morning and that dictates what I eat or don't eat for the day.  I alternate at times from allowing myself carbs to only doing protein depending upon where I am in my 5lb spread.  I have been traveling for six weeks in a row for work.  I have three more weeks to go before I get a week or two home.  Eating in restaurants isn't hard.  I usually pick out seafood or fish for dinner and always have eggs for breakfast.  My indulgences are dark chocolate and red wine but I keep that at a minimum or at least make sure I have had all my water intake or not too many carbs/calories before I allow myself a treat.  

The hubby is another matter....he has gained weight this year and just found out that he is diabetic.  He is now a prime candidate for the surgery but he still thinks he can do it on his own.  We argue a bit on this subject as he thinks I should understand how addiction to food can be -- I argue back that I do understand but that is why I chose surgery as my tool because I couldn't do it on my own.  I only want him to be healthy and happy.  He is so not right now.  My dream outcome would be that he loses his weight and we can enjoy life together doing all the things that we want to do.  Right now he is always tired, frustrated, or just sits there playing his games on his iphone.  I want to be supportive but I am a little angry with him.  He knew that this was a possibility last year as the doctor told him he was pre-diabetic.  Instead of taking it seriously, he continued with his fast food runs and eating the most unhealthy food.  Now he is depressed about having to "deprive" himself and being forced into eating healthy and exercising.   Hopefully this will be a good turning point and many positive changes come about for him.  That is my prayer for him.  

Well, that is where I am today -- I am looking forward to Spring and being in the sunshine!  I feel like this is the year of change for me and my family.  Everything seems to be shifting and balancing out personally and at work.  I am excited to see what life brings to us.  

God bless you!  Keep losing!  k
