48 Weeks Post-Op

Mar 23, 2009

My down/up/down weight loss trend continues.  Last week was a bad week, I gained 3 lbs.  This week I lost 2.  Still trying for the elusive onederland. 

11 months out now and I really see things differently.  I notice it every time we go out to eat.  Check out the BBQ joints, pizza parlors and buffet lines and you really notice how many big people there are.  I was once as big or bigger so I can relate, but I just want to tell everyone there's a better life out there and cut down!  No one wants to hear from some stranger off the street, so I keep quiet.  I just wish more people could change their lives the way we have, but it's not for everyone.

I went to the store yesterday and tried on MEDIUM size shirts and they fit.  Yes, they were a touch on the snug size so if they shrank they'd look tight, but I must say - they fit!  Unbelieveable.  I never would have thought.

Closing in a year post-op.  Gotta keep my focus and not graze.  I know cutting down on alcohol would really help with the weight loss.  Not that I drink everyday, but once or twice a week I do.  That seems to screw up my weigh ins.  Oh well.  One vice left.

I think my portion sizes are starting to rub off on the family a bit.  They seem to pay more attention these days.  I'm glad.  We could all cut a few calories out.

Good luck everyone,
Andy
