I'm back!

Aug 11, 2011

Ok.  Here is the deal.  I had surgery about 4 years ago now.  Lost a lot of weight but still not happy with where I am.  So, I have decided to do the old fashioned thing called dieting.  Yeah, I was scared, too.

My lowest weight was 202 and I was so excited that I was going to enter one-derland.  Then stress happened and I started to gain.  Two weeks ago when I stepped on the scale I was at 244.  That's too close to 250 where I knew I was never going to be again.

So, I have decided to dedicate myself to getting everything off I don't want.  I set the goal at 140lbs and I want to see how close I can get to that in 6 months.  I started excersizing this past Monday and have had some great results.  I am also doing reduced calorie so the DS is really helping with that because I have to eat smaller portions anyway.  I am just trying to make better food choices that will keep me full longer.

As a DS patient, you kinda get lazy as time goes on.  Four years is a long time and I am so glad the weight has not come back, but it tries to send me post cards telling me it misses me!  We tend to have the same kinds of meals we did have before the surgery but it just takes us longer to eat them.  I know with me I will eat and then have to wait for maybe 10 minutes to a half hour and finish the larger meal.  I am going to stop that craziness.

Right now I am at about 230, so I am super happy about the weight loss in two weeks.  I decided to start keeping the blog again because I need to keep track of myself to have success.
