Merry Christmas

Dec 17, 2008

Yippeee!!  I've been waiting to post until I was in onederland and this morning I finally weighed in at 199!  I thought it was going to happen a couple weeks ago but the weight loss has really slowed down.  It's so amazing to me because the number has always been such a big deal since I've been over 200 since about age 13.  I went and told my husband to do the Balky dance with me (inside joke)

I've been under a lot of stress - $$$ for Christmas as usual, both my mom and mother in-law in the hospital, etc. etc.....  So I've had a few of the chocolate clusters laying around in the office.  I've noticed that when I do have a little sugary sweetness that I start craving food and want to eat.  Like a big trigger for me has always been when I first walk in the door at home in the afternoon.  It doesn't help that we come in the house through the kitchen, but I start looking for things to eat and I'm not satisfied and then look for something else.  I haven't experienced that post op until this month - I'm 8 months out now.  It really scares me because I know my tool's working, but it doesn't stop me from grazing.  I've got to put a stop to that.  I want to go so much further with my weight loss.  I haven't really made a hard goal yet, but always had about 160 in mind.  To date I've lost 95lbs and so that would be about 39lbs more to go.  That number seems so small compared to how far I've always been away from that goal before.  I'm kicking up the exercise and plan to keep telling everyone over the holidays that I can't have sweets, so that I'll just stay clear of it.

Well Merry Christmas to you all.  Onederland is so Wonderful
