Another month down

Jun 14, 2010

Wow, it seems like the time and pounds are flying by.  I'm 3 months post surgery and down 60 pounds.  Prior to surgery I would have never guessed that I would be so frustrated with losing weight.  First, I can't stand even thinking of food so eating is even worse.  I suppose this is because I'm never hungry - vrey weird.  Don't get me wrong, I still have cravings or urge's but not hunger.  This I'm sure is a good thing since I can focus on why I'm cravings certain foods so I know handle  or control the cravings.  Either way, meal planning was my solution.  On Sunday's I package up each day's worth of food for the week.  That means I only have two times I'm focued on food (grocery shopping for the week and packaging food).  So far its working and I feel less angry.  The biggest change is not hearing my family ask me "What's for dinner?"  Its only the door what we are having each dinner.  Let's face it that can be a very annoying question when you don't even have a happy relationship with food.  Maybe someday we'll be friends again  :)  Second, I'm super frustrated with not having any clothes to wear.  I've gone from a size 26 to a 16 in 3 months and my husband doesn't understand why I dont have any clothes!  I'm sure he is used to me staring into a full closet at size 26 and saying, "I have nothing to wear."  Maybe a case of the boy who cried wolf.  Now I really don't have anything to wear and he doesn't believe me.  I've been trying the consignment shops and Goodwill and I suppose its all about timing because I'm not finding the cute size 26 clothes like I had.  I'm a professional job and stuck wearing mainly t-shirts because that is the only thing I can find cheap to get me through the 2 weeks to a month that I'm wearing them.  I actually bought a size 14 shorts at Kohls even though they are tight just with the hopes of wearing them longer.  I have a trip to NYC at the end of the month and seriously feel I have nothing to wear.  I can't do NYC without decent clothes but don't want to spend a month's let alone even a week's salary for something that I'll likely only wear 4 times at best.  Like I said, if you would have asked me before surgery, "How will you feel after losing 60 pounds?" I would said, "excited or thrilled" - not "frustrated."  I know as I go further through this journey I will not lose as fast and feel happier about the progress.  :)
