I haven't written in a while. I must say I love my new body. I have definetly hit my plateau. Over the holidays I did stray away from my diet. Fortunetly I have got right back on track. I completely took carbs out of my diet. The only carbs I eat is about 25-30grams a day and that is because of fruits and veggies. I am down about 130lbs. I work out atleast 5 days a week for an hour and a half. My daily diet is 2 eggs for breakfast, a salad with chicken for lunch, and protein and veggies for dinner. I must say my pouch has stretched I can tell because I find myself being able to eat a dinner plate salad. Eventhough I can eat more I still try to eat all my protein first and If I still have room eat my veggies. Over the summer I went to Cedar Point and for the first time in about 6 years I could fit on the rides no problem. I caught myself double checking on the ride examples outside the line to make sure I fit and of course I did. It was a good laugh afterwards. Your mind has to mentally get used to being smaller. I love not having to go to a different store or the plus size section. Before surgery I was in a size 22-24 now I fit a 15. My goal is to lose another 50lbs and be able to wear a 7-9. I will mention I have atleast 15lbs of loose skin on my belly. I will have a tummy tuck hopefully next year, I want to have a baby once I get to my goal weight. It would be pointless to get the TT before and let my belly get saggy again. But Im doing great and loving the way I look and feel!
