I'mmmm Backkkkkkkk

Jul 09, 2011

It has been a LONGGGGGGGGGG time since I have posted here. I am now nearly 3 years out from my RNY (July 21st will be 3 years). I was down to 153 lbs and hung there for several months. Then I started back to college after 22 years of not being in school, and regained some. Too much time sitting down to study and do homework, which took away time i used to be more active. Also was so busy I tended to try to make easier meals, which meant more carbs. Lesson learned ... never take shortcuts in this journey. Ended up back up to 168. Am now back down to 163 for the most part (fluctuations do occur). I WILL get the rest of that regain off! It is much much harder now and requires discpline and focus. I can do it! I will do it!

It's kind of odd tho, 10 lbs doesn't sound like much, but it is amazing the difference 10 lbs can make in my clothes and appearance now that i am no longer morbidly obese. 10 lbs is more than one might think. Picture a lb of butter (4 sticks) and multiply that by 10. so 40 sticks of butter gives you a better idea on how much difference that really is. It is also enough to have me just above a normal BMI, which I DO NOT like at all. My surgeon is extremely pleased with how I have done, and said he would prefer I not take the other 10 back off. But I was much happier at the 153, and my pants are just way too tight..lol. It may take me months to get rid of this, but I shall prevail!
