Another "New" Beginning!!!
Sep 23, 2012
It's been a while since I've been here.......I am 5 1/2 years post op and as of September 13, 2012, I'd gained back 75lbs of the 145lbs I'd lost. I figured out that sugar and carbs ARE my weakness. Not only are they a weakness they also make me feel crappy!!!!! I could drink a 6 pack of Dr. Peppers every day and not even flinch, and I did. Sad but true. Also, surgery does not change your brain or the way you think about food.....and it won't change an addiction to food. My addiction is not to "certain" foods......it's ALL food!!!! But especially sugar and carbs. Sad that I've known this all along, just been in SERIOUS denial!!!!! I am the ONLY one who can change me.....well Jesus can and has. He's given me the one up to do what I need to do to get my butt back in gear.The Plan;
I decided, after booking a 7 night 8 day western caribbean cruise in Feb 2013, it was time to get off my butt and kick this body back in gear!!!!!!!
I stopped eating "man made" sugar and "bad" carbs as of September 16, 2012. It was time I took care of myself and started using the "tool" of my surgery again.
I've learned over my MANY years of "dieting", that DIETS DON'T WORK for me. So, it must be a lifestyle change and that's what I've done!!!! I've changed my eating lifestyle. Week 1.......has begun and I've lost 10 lbs. Will keep updating.
