Well I figured I would go ahead and post an update since I am having alot of people ask how I am doing.  Overall I am just really tired. I don't seem to have a whole lot of energy but hey when you are eating about 300 calories a day how much energy can one person have?  Other than the energy thing I think I am doing really well.  I am not hungry at all but must eat 3 small meals a day which consist of mostly baby food or whatever I can puree into the blender (not much). I am really looking forward to September 17th when I can eat Normal foods again.

I wish I can say this has been easy so far but it hasn't. I often feel like crying and asking myself why did I do this? But then I get on the scale and I am down 25 lbs and I say to myself yes this will be worth it. I am on my way to a much healthier me. My Blood sugars have gone from 240-250 down to 90-110. I am no longer taking my diabetes medications. AMEN! However I do have to take Vitamins now, chewables none the less, and they are horrible.

Also September 17th I get to have this G-Tube (feeding tube) removed from my side. What a Pain in the Butt it has been. It's there for backup in case I dehydrate or need more fluids but I haven't used it in over a week. I am so ready for it to be gone. Nothing like a forgien object hanging out of your side that's for sure.

So overall I am doing really well. Just continue to pray for me in the areas of food addiction. I literally cried the other night when my family had hamburgers and I knew I couldn't eat one. :/  Oh well time and discipline are my friends. I will keep on keeping on.....

Until next time,

Christy

AUGUST 13th!

Started the diet

Jun 07, 2007

Started the diet that the PCM told me to do. Using fitday.com to enter in all the food I eat during the day.  I am using a pedometer to see how much I am walking a day. Yesterday I was at 2700 steps. My goal is to increase my steps by 250 steps a day. On average a person should walk 10,000 steps per day. 

Today is my 11th anniversary. I am so thankful to be married to such a wonderful man.  I hope a year from now on my 12th anniversary I will be able to wear some sexy dress for him instead of hiding behind baggy clothes and being ashamed of how I look.
