Weight Loss
May 29, 2015
It is now almost nine months since I had my surgery and I am doing good. Before surgery I was at 288 and now I am at 217. I feel the weight is going slow because it starts and stops. I am doing what I am suppose to do ,but as always in the beginning it goes fast and then stops. I get discourage when I look in the mirror sometimes because although my face ,arms and legs show the lost ,my stomach and body don't. I no the stomach takes time but at this time I feel i should have lost more in that area. I was at a size 4x before and now at a 3x, sometimes a 2x depending on the clothes. I don't plan on giving up , that is out of the question. It just gets me a little down because I have a cousin who was almost 600lbs before surgery and now a 1 1/2 yrs. later she is down to 200lbs. How can that be? I just tell myself some people lose faster than others. Looking at that is discouraging for me. I am so proud of her and my daughter in law who went from a size 28 to a size 6 in a matter of a few months. I am still proud of myself for what I did accomplish so far. It will just be a slow process for me is what I tell myself and keep moving forward. I will reach my goal and that is a fact. The reason I am writing this is to let others no that no matter how you look at things or others ,remember, every one is different. Just stay the course and do what you have to do for you. I no I will!!!
