ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS THE NEXT 2 POUNDS!
Dec 20, 2010
well....i know.....the song is "all i want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth"....but i want the next 2 pounds. when the next 2 pounds are gone i'll be in the 150's which means i'll be within my weight range on those "charts" we all hear about! oh my gosh.....don't remember the last time i was within the "normal" weight limit!so.....i'm doing all i can.....we'll see how it goes! if not by Christmas....maybe by 1/1/11!
today is my 6 month surgiversary and i'm down 88.6 pounds. WOOHOO! thinking about 6 months ago....how very miserable i was! i was wearing a size 18 yeans....today...as i type this i'm wearing a size 6 (not all my jeans are this size..depends on the brand). my size 10 dress pants are way too big....i've ordered size 8 ane we'll see how that goes. i went from a 1X top to a size Medium....don't every remember wearing a size Medium....EVER!
i've had my bloodwork done and all my levels are great. have an appointmen with my surgeon next week for my 6 month follow up. i feel great....no longer on blood pressure meds.....no longer on CPAP....have lots of energy and i've actually started running! finished the couch to 5k program and am loving running. will do my third 5K next month and can't wait. i'm getting rid of all my clothes as they become too big! oh my goodness.....i almost want to hold onto them with the mindset "just in case" this doesn't work....but.....not doing that. this is going to work. i'll have to watch what i eat for the rest of my life and i understand that. i can't go back. i can't look back....i can't!
getting lots of comments.....my hubbies step mom says i've lost too much....others say "don't lose any more".....but...as i've posted before....these folks didn't say a word as i was eating myself to death so i pretty much just take it with a grain of salt. i still haven't had any sweets or anything i'm not supposed to have. i don't even want the taste in my mouth. i've been a compulsive eater for many years and just don't want to have the temptation.....if i could have won against the temptation i'd have never been in the place to have surgery! so....i know my weakness and i just choose to stay away from it. it don't bother me to have the "no-no" foods in the house. hubby loves the "no-no" foods. i just dont' eat it....i'm afraid to have the taste in my mouth again.....i guess once an addict....always an addict.....i read a post the other day that said we're in "remission" and that's true....i really liked that.
my hair continues to come out. its is so terribly thin! seems that the loss has begun to slow just a bit and i do see new growth....'bout 1/4 to 1/2 inch long......but will be so happy when i can see that my hair is getting thicker! until then....Lord continue to give me the strength and courage to accept it!
all in all......i'm still loving my RNY!!!
Merry Christmas to all.....and to all a good night!
