Three months and a bit.

Well, I've been really busy enjoying this new life. I've dropped below 200 lbs, for the first time in 23 years. My clothes are too big, and my saggy skin is like my badge of honour.My hungar has returned, so I have to be carefull not to snack too much. Or at least snack on the right stuff, light yogurt, cottage cheese, protein bars, and lots of water. Water has been my biggest challange lately. I can seem to remember to drink enough, I am working on it though. I have to be really care about carbs, cause they go down so easy, and are usually readily available in my house.
My other challange has been to take my suppliments. I've tried several ways to remind myself, I just have to get there.
My hubby and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas for 6 days.
We drove to Miami and back. The total time out was 12 days. We actually fought very little, and managed to have a great time.
Terry had decided not to drink to much, so that helped alot. He stayed sober most of the time.
Since we came home it has been different story. But I've learned to cope somewhat, and ignor him mostly when he has been drinking.
The problem is that I have not worked in 8 moths due to an injury. Terry works from home as an unsuccessful real estate agent. So we are together 24/7. It's not that he isn't a good agent, when he gets a client, but that he can't seem to come up with a system to get new clients. He took a trucking job in Oct. to help me pay the bills, but got laid off just before our trip, He seems to be refusing to get another job. Just wants to real estate full time. But it doesn't pay if you don't sell, and he had to pay the brokerage even if he doesn't see anything.
It's a really expensive hobby, as far as I am concerned.
Well, the weight is coming off and I'm gaining more confidence every day. I have so many new friends through OH. I love all of them. We are all so diffent but we have our obesity as a common bond, and the challanges that go with it. I go to as many coffee groups and support meetings as I can. I would go to more of it were possible.
I love what my RNY has allowed to do. I would do it again in a heart beat.
