Starting over basically

May 10, 2017

So in a nutshell I had surgery in 2010 at 300 lbs, lost the weight in 5 mos down to 167, got pregnant...got a revision surgery, lapband,lap and, and never went back for a full in due to so much pain in not even getting down water. Well now it's 2017 and I'm back up to 260 due to depression, HORRIBLE eating habits, sedentary exercise life and a whole bunch of excuses.  Well no more. It's time I use the little bit of tools and knowledge I have left to get back right. It was hard the first time, but I did it. I can do it again. 

So here's the tools I am working with. Gym membership, supportive husband and friends, exercise equipment and cross fit knowledge, gastric surgery that allows me to eat MUCH more than before, but still does dumping, a lap and that gives me good portion control, weight watchers paid for (idk I may need to cancel it), all the workout gear (cloths and technology) a person could ask more.  All I need now is SELF MOTIVATION. That's where this blog comes into play.  I don't know who I am talking to, but this is a safe private p lace for me to vent, rant, like, research, review, read...with like minded people on my weight loss journey. It's like I have the world at my fingertips, yet not all in my business. I'm opening myself up in a safe haven. Thanks! 

So tomorrow I will start what is called the Military Diet.  I know diet is a bad word,  but truthfully I want to see if it works. The diet actually has foods on it I can now eat, but with portion control.  The combinations is suppose to help with boosting metabolism. One thing I do know is that I don't eat MUCH and so when I do reach for food it the wrong foods.  This diet has too much food so I shouldn't feel too hungry.  I think one of my issues is that I have taken a weight loss pill and it has caused me to NOT eat at all which I know can send your body into starvation mode. Not good. With the surge experience, this time around I want to learn to eat right, good portions without starving, without the muscle tissue lost, without the protein and vitamins depletion.  I want to do this as a life long change. I can do it. Now I start. Oh and I want to start with 30 mins/day exercise and work up to 45 mins/day=10,000 steps. I can do it!
