It's been a hard, long, tricky ride!
Jan 25, 2009
Well, this weight loss thing can really be tricky. It's been almost a year since my gastric bypass and although I am 119lbs lighter I still feel like that same overweight woman. I look in the mirror and don't see the difference, I can feel the difference in my clothing so I know I am losing weight, down from a size 24 to a 14 but it is still hard to see it. People who haven't seen me in a while comment on how good I look and how much weight I have lost and it's hard to accept compliments still. I have only been to 1 support group meeting and I know going would help with the battle of emotions that I have. I have recently moved and things are pretty hectic but I am getting back to the swing of things slowly. I haven't been exercising but that is going to change, I have pledged to get back in gear and get this weight loss thing back in motion and hopefully lose another 30lbs to reach my goal weight of 160-165!
