I can’t believe it has been a month already. I can remember myself just getting out of surgery with my mom and cousin telling me to wake up because I was finished. Who would have known that I would be down 32 pounds in 4 weeks. My weight loss has slowed down in the past 2 weeks but that due to my lack of nutrition and protein. I went to my regular doctor and had some test done and it looks like I am losing muscle mass and not fat. I really need to get the protein in so today I am buying unflavored powder to add to my foods. I am so blessed not to have many problems. Food is not my friend anymore. Trying to eat a small meal in 25 minutes really sucks. I often find myself reheating my food because it becomes cold after sitting or just getting plain sick of seeing it. I think right now the hardest part for me is wasting food. I never finish my food but I have the twins here to help me..lol. What else can I say about my first month??? I can’t see my weight loss other than on the scale but people tell me they can. I feel bad sometimes because I can’t see the difference and I wonder to myself…well how bad did I really look? Why didn’t people tell me? Anyways I hope over the next month I will be able to buy smaller pants or shirts. You would think 32 pound would make you drop a size but I guess not.
