Too long

Dec 19, 2017

I just realized how long it's been since I checked in here. Time for an update. I am just 2 months shy of 7 years post op. I have been able to maintain my weight with some minor ups and downs over the years. Everytime there was an up tick on the scale (3 to 5 lbs), I would just revisit my protocol and get back on track. I'm having one of those up tick periods now (8-10 lbs), but having more trouble this time.

My back has been acting up for a few months and medication is not helping my weight loss. Since I'm not able to take NSAIDS, I've been prescribed prednisone. I'm almost done with that so hopefully, I'll be back on track then. 

Another reason for being stuck is that I haven't been as active (back pain) so that has slowed my weight recovery. I like that - weight recovery. I'm trying to recover my healthy weight.

I'm not going to punish myself - there's no need. I know my pain limits what I can do. I know that the meds make it more difficult. I also know that I made choices on food that I shouldn't have. I'm facing the consequences now. No one is perfect all the time; just get up, dust off and start again. That's what I'm going to do.
