A little over three years out.... ALREADY

Jun 24, 2015

Ok, I haven't written anything in a long time and I haven't even visited the board very often recently. Living with the DS has just become completely normal to me by now. I remember the day I was rolled into the operating room, 318 lbs and scared of not waking up. I can laugh about that now. WAs it always easy?? NO!!!! Am I at the weight I was hoping for? NO!! I am now at 188 lbs. I think I look normal (at least in clothing), I am healthy, I can sit in a regular seat like a cinema or on a plane (without extension seatbelt) and I feel good. Yes, I would love to lose another 20lbs. But i know that in order to do that, I will have to really go back to basics and stick with it. At the moment though I am trying to figure other things out at the same time. Since losing the weight I have started running. I absolutely love it and I am now going to run my third full marathon. I still enjoy it but having the DS and fueling for something like that comes with different challenges :-)  So going really low carb at the moment is not really an option. So losing the last 20lbs will probably have to wait. But that is totally fine with me. I love life and the only thing I regret is that I didn't get the DS earlier in life.
