I've decided to get off my birth control because I believe its been stopping my weightloss. I've already dropped to 131.5 from 133-134. Its not much but its a start.

I've been struggling with my fluctuating weight for all of 2013. I dropped to 129.5 one day and then shot back to 130 then 131 and out of nowhere I was 134-136. Finally I'm losing again and am back at 132. I had to take a laxative yesterday because I was so backed up and now I'm a pound lighter. I don't plan to make that a habit, maybe once a week or every other week depending on how often I have a BM on my own without help. Gross, I know, but we all deal with these issues. I'm just glad to be back on track. I hope the last 12 pounds just melt away. Wish me luck!

I can now wear size 6 jeans! :D

As of this morning I finally broke out of the 130s! I currently weight 129.5 and am so happy I could dance!

It seems I'm still having trouble with weight fluctuation. I'm thinking about changing my diet completely. I need to make a 180 and cut out my usual foods and replace them with healthier foods I usually wouldn't eat. It sucks but my preferences (ex: pizza rolls) are not aiding my weightloss. I still can't believe I gained a few pounds. Ugh. :/

I've lost 4 pounds this week! I finally broke my stall and am now 131.5 as of this morning. My goal was and still is to be 120 so I only have 11.5 pounds to go. I'm so close to goal I can almost hear myself squealing in delight(you know when I get to goal. lol). I can't believe all it took was dropping chocolate and a few other things.

Since school started I have been fluctuating between 133 and 136--never losing below 133. It has been disappointing and frustrating, but I think I know how to fix this--fasting(sorta). I will still eat my regular foods/protein, take my vitamins, and drink my water and organic milk. I'm just cutting out treats, snacks, etc. I'd gotten quite full of myself and my weightloss and thought it was okay to have candy/chocolate. Some people turn to alcohol, I turn to chocolate in times of stress or exhaustion. No more! I packed it all up and now only have healthy foods in my room. Yesterday I was 135, today I am 133.5! WOW! What a difference! I am gonna do this and I am gonna lose these last 13.5 pounds! I will meet goal! *fired up*

When school started last week(1/7/13) I weighed 132.5 and today(1/13/13) I weighed in at 135.5. WTH???  These 3 pounds are torturing me, driving me insane. Why have I gained 3 pounds? My eating habits have not changed much. I think I'm gonna cut down, stop grazing(I do that sometimes, everyone does). Its so frustrating.

I know in the past I said not to let the number bother you, but this isvery annoying and I'm still human. *sighs*

As of this morning I am 90 pounds lighter than when I was preop (HW: 224) and at 5'2" that is a lot. I currently weigh 134 and I can't remember the last time I was in the 130s. Middle school i think? Its embarrassing to admit I weighed so much at 12/13 but that's reality and lucky for me most of you were no different and understand. You know the pain of having people stare at you as you eat, the looks of disgust, and have had to deal with the mass misunderstanding that being overweight means you're inactive, lazy, and incapable of self control. I have had to deal with a lot because of my weight issues in the past, but for the first time in my life the only battle left is the one with myself(self image and all that headcase stuff we all deal with). People actually smile at me and start conversations with me--they actually see me. Men check me out now...though none of yet to approach me to ask me out(I hope that happens soon...or I'm going to start assuming I'm imagining it). *sigh*

Anyway, enough of my ramblings. That is my update for December.

Happy New Year!

I'm officially 9 months postop today and it happens to be 12/12/12. lol

In 9 months I've lost 88 pounds. So close to goal. Just 16 pounds to go, though I think I might lose a little more than that. *crosses fingers*

I've changed so much in the last 9 months. Not only have I lost so much weight I've changed for the better. I have more confidence, feel attractive, and actually like having my picture taken now!

Even though my weightloss has slowed down and I'm coming close to the end of my first year postop, my journey is just beginning.
