15 1/2 Months Post Op

Aug 10, 2009

I'm frustrated with today's weigh in.  I'm not sure what my body is up to.  I weighed in Sunday and I was 188, when I weighed in today I was 192.  WTF?  I didn't do anything to fluctuate that much.  I guess my body decided to hold everything in.  I've been working out most everyday and my weight was tracking fairly well before today.  Pissed me off.  

On a better note I bought a pair of 32 waist jeans this week!  Wow!  That is the smallest pants I've bought since I was a kid.  I remember when I was 16 I got down to a 33 waist, so I'm smaller than I was at 16.  Now of course not every pair of 32's fit me, but these do.   I think I'll be very satisfied with my weight when all the 32 waist pants fit me.  I don't really see a need to go down to a 30, that may be bit too small.  We'll see.

If I do have a weakness it's got to be grazing/snacking.  Now that I'm fully used to my WLS I've keyed in on the items that I know I can get away with eating lots of.  Peanuts are a weakness.  I can't stop at one handful, I just keep going.  I seem to crave the crunchy/saltyness.  I also love spoons of peanut butter.  I never eat HUGE meals or a ton of anything, but I eat a little bit a LOT of times.  I've been trying to break this and I know it's playing a part in my plateaued weight, but easier said than done lately.

I don't know if I exercise to burn more calories or if I exercise to allow me to eat more calories.  I'll be heading to the gym today to work off all the snacks I already munched on today.

Hope things are well on your end.

Andy
