It's been 1 year!!!!

Apr 08, 2009

I had my one year checkup on March 17th.  I am still 10-12 pounds below my Dr's goal.  I feel great...and for the first time in many years, I'm able to work out in my yard.  I'm amazed everyday at the energy I have.  It's been so worth it....and I thank everyone for all the support you've given.  I know that this journey is not over, and I will have to continually watch my diet, foods I eat, and apply what I've learned this past year.   Yes, I still have wants and desires for foods that I know will make me sick.  Yes, I've tried eating those things and I get very ill!  I'm not gaining and don't want to.  I still fight the battle of wanting to graze, but I'm taking it one day at a time.  I have to remind myself everyday that my surgery will not work magic...but my tool still works, and I need to take care of it.  Even though I'm below my goal...the battle is not won!   It's a daily challenge to abide by the rules, and stick to the plan.
