40 pounds gone FOREVER!!!

Jan 05, 2011

 So...the stall is gone for now and I lost another pound, so that puts me at the 40 pound mark!!!!! 
I remember going to my PCP and stepping on the scale and it saying 301 and I almost cried.  I know 40 pounds is only the beginning and I have a LONG way to go but I am super excited about my success so far.  My motivation is my 7 year old son Alex.  He is so active and loves to run and jump and go places and play.  I want to be able to do all those things with him.  I really want to be able to take him to Disney World and actually be able to fit in the rides with him.  I want to be able to take him to a water park and not be so totally embarrassed to get on the water rides with him.  I want to run and play with him as he gets older.  For the past 7 years I haven't wanted to do any of those things and that is not fair to him.
I also am motivated by a healthier lifestyle for my entire family.  Alex will ask me "is that high in sugar" or "does this have carbs" LOL it is so funny because he really doesn't know what a carb is but he knows that I don't want to eat them right now.  We are having a lot more dinners at home and cooking has become something that we do together.  I want to become a NO SUGAR household but that is hard right now because we live with my boyfriends mom.  But in the next few months we will be moving and hopefully will be able to set rules that the household can live by.

I know that my weight loss is going to slow, stall (again), and I will have good moments and bad.  But today I am happy that I had the surgery and I am happy with my progress.  And I agree to take things one day at a time.  HAPPY THURSDAY!!!!
