What I am learning

Sep 30, 2009

My scale sucks. I am not sure if the scale is broken or my body is off. Lets hope it is the scale. I bought it just after my surgery and think it is defective. I can go to be one weight and gain 6 pounds overnight. I have also weight around the same for almost three weeks give or take a bit. So I cannot tell how much weight I have lost. So instead of letting the scale mess with my brain everyday I have measured myself so i can see how I am shrinking. I know that I am as my clothes fit differently. I am thinking that I should just chuck the sucker to the curb and just weight myself at the doctors every few months. I know that the scale is  not the best way to measure myself - I should be looking at general health, inches and physical fitness. I also lknow that muscle weights more than fat. But tell that to the little part in my brain that pledges allegiance to the scale.   I do think that i have bad scale karma. When I went for surgery the scale was broken so I did not have an accurate start weight.

My acid imitated hunger. It was killing me and I was freaking out that I was hungry all the time. After buying some prilosec each morning I am feeling much better.  I was getting annoyed when water was giving me gas.

I am realizing that I need to eat more solid food to fill me up. I think I have stayed on mushies too long and they are not filling me up - causing me to eat more.

It is a struggle to find protein that does not include dairy. I was eating dairy and it is not sitting with me. I wonder if that is why I am stalling. It is not only a high source of fat, but cheese is a trigger for overeating.

I also am learning that I need to learn to eat slowly. I bought small spoons which help, but I need a way to figure out how much I should be eating at one shot. Just need to train myself I guess.
