Six months surgiversary 11/21/12

Nov 23, 2012

Wow!! Six months has passed already- doesn't seem possible!!! And what a 6 months it has been:-) Happy to report that on 11/21/12, which was my 6 month postop date, I not only reached my weight loss goal, but EXCEEDED !! I had set a goal of 145 pounds and I was actually 143.6:) I know that this doesn't end this journey and have to keep focused!! No room to slack on exercise and fighting head hunger and bad habits continues to be an almost daily struggle. I don't always win those struggles but clearly, I am doing something right!!! My "first Thanksgiving" was yesterday! I didn't binge:-) I enjoyed at least a few bites of everything and even a sliver of 2 pies and a small ice cream scoop! No weight gain and in fact I lost and am at 140.6 today. I do find myself slacking a bit on vitamins and calcium over the last few weeks and need to re-focus!! I continue to exercise at least 4-6 times a week- running, Zumba, elliptical, walking, weights, crunches. Most of the time I truly love doing it:-) I have continued to be an open book with my journey and have had so many people approach me and want to know more. Some have moved forward with surgery option, others have decided it isn't for them but have gotten moving anyway!! I am happy to know that thru my struggles and successes I have helped someone else!! Feels like a bonus of having the RNY!! I did some pics for the weight loss center and have been asked to help with some radio spots!! Makes me a little nervous but exciting too:-) I am so incredibly blessed with the support I get from family and friends- what a difference that it truly makes
