Re-focus time (again)

24 October 2010
It's been 3 years since I had my RNY, and I'm not at goal. Hell, I'm not at my initial goal--to weigh less than 300 lbs. I went to the doctor's office and I weigh 344, up from 342 on the last visit in July. Well shazaam! He wants me to give up sweet tea and fried chicken. I asked him if he wanted me to choke someone. Hahaha! I don't have any excuses. None I can clearly say hey, it's this blah, blah blah that has caused me not to stall at my weight loss.
I can offer the truth---I didn't exercise, take vitamins daily, or continue to visit my surgeon. Those all contributed to my lack of continued success. I won't view it or myself as failures, because I've never lost 84 lbs. before and managed to somewhat maintain it. I can live with 2 lbs gained in 2 months, because while I was at school, I was too stressed. I'm a stress eater, but I managed not to gain any more than that.
So it's refocus time again. I have started working out at the gym, three times a week. I do weight training and walking. I'm also planning to get back up to my surgeon's to see what options are available. I know, I know what I said earlier but that was before my months and months of stalling. I am exercising to see if the problem is me and not the need for revision. After that, we shall see.
Still thankful for my surgery. Holla y'all
