There is light at the end of the tunnel. ;) I have been loosing but ever so slowly. I'm about 6 lbs away from being under 200, which I haven't been in about 19 years. Could I work out more? yes Could I eat more? yes Could I drink more water? yes All of these things I am trying to work on. It seems like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. I knew this was going to be hard work. I KNEW this. But did I think it would be this hard? HELL NO! Its all worth it don't get me wrong. I would never and I repeat never want to go back to where I began and I intend on never going there again. I've had issues, not health wise, but friends wise and little things people say to me that are caddy. Like " I have to diet the hard way, I can't afford to have surgery like you did" whatever. This is the diet from hell I always explain. I can't cheat when I want to, this IS my life now and forever. Its not like you have surgery they wave a magic wand and poof off comes the fat. Get real, its down right hard work. Counting calories, carbs, fat, sugar. Making sure you take your handful of vitamins everyday. These are things you have to do to live now. It does get easier by the day, its become routien for me now. Like Nike says I just DO IT. Friends that use to call to go out don't call anymore. I thought, I hadn't changed. But really I have changed. I can't eat and drink like I used to and I don't even want to. My world doesn't revolve around food anymore. So I guess in that aspect I did change for the better, but for the worse for my overweight friends that enjoyed my company over plates of food and drinks. Its by far been the best thing I've done for myself hard as it is. I have about 40 lbs to go to get to goal. I will make it. I can't believe it that I'm only 40 lbs overweight. Crazy being that 9 months ago the dr. said I needed to loose 160 lbs. woah! I have been so active, floating, roller coasters, walking and swimming. All the things I was too tired to do before. No I'm never going back, I like the new me and my family seems pretty happy about the positive changes also. Nothing easy is worth having...... On to month 10 ;) Lou
