The Dreaded Stage...

Jan 16, 2011

 The weight loss finally stopped and now I'm to the point where I've gained a few pounds... how discouraging! I went from not being able to eat anything to eating everything... NOT good. For 2011, I have tried to implement new rules for myself, including less carb intake, minimal fast food and no soda. I've had slip ups, but I'm trying to not allow those slip ups to become habits. 

I've gained almost 20 pounds and it's amazing what a 20 pound difference can make. Everyone tells me I should continue to gain when in all reality I really want to lost maybe 10-15 of the gained 20. I look in the mirror and can tell where the gain went and look at my clothes as many have "shrunk". 

As long as I don't get to the 170 mark, I'll be okay. Once I see the 170 though, that'll be scary. In my mind, 170 has become the "point of no return". In winter it's hard to get myself motivated... I hate the cold, it hurts! So exercise beyond taking my dogs out, is not happening. 

There definitely needs to be some re-evaluation of my food/beverage intake and the lack of exercise. The surgery still works but now I have to make it work for me more than it working on its own as it did before.

My goal for 2011 is to lose 15 pounds and work to get my body back in shape and feel good about myself. I went through too much with these surgeries to just allow myself to fall apart. Slip ups are allowed, but bad habits are not!
