I'm hanging in there. . .

Jan 30, 2009

Today is January 31 and I have seen no progress, weight loss wise, since September.  I'm the exact same weight that I was then.  Talk about discouraging.  Well, a lot of stressful things have happened since then.  To name a few:
In August, my band was filled too tight and had to have the saline taken out.  I had to start all over.  I still have no restriction.  There, it just goes to show you that the band does work.  Well, I've had a lot of medical mishaps such as . . .my baby ripped my cornea off of my right eye, I have plantar fasciitis, and of course all of the wonderful winter illnesses.  I comforted myself once again with food.  I had the same excuse as always.  Oh, one little bite won't matter.  Ya, if I could just keep it to that one little bite.  But I don't, I never have and I never will.  The Christmas chocolate phase led me to believe that 6 lbs gained would be ok, and easy to lose.  Well, that turned into another 6 lbs, which I've been taking off and putting back on since Christmas.  Well, I finally had enough.  I took care of my physical problems, gave myself a pep talk and started the high protein plateau buster.  Sticking to it the first few days was hard, but the reward has been a 6 lb weight loss in 5 days.  YES!!!  I finally feel back on track.  Not being able to exercise for so long really effected my emotional state of being.  Well, even though I still have plantar fasciitis, I'm using my elliptical 35min every day.  I'm not looking at this weight gain as a failure.  After all, I picked myself up and started all over again.  I've never given up on my band and I hope my fill in two weeks will prove that it hasn't given up on me.
