It's my 2 month anniversary of surgery, or, my surgiversary tomorrow :) I wanted to hit 50 pounds lost by this date but unfortunately, I am only down 49.6 pounds as of today and I have no scale to weigh in the morning as I'm at my sister's house tonight. Anyway.... SOOOO close. I weighed in this morning at 230.4. I'm still thrilled with my weight loss, just irked I didn't get to my goal. OH wellz. My goal of being below 200 at the end of the year is getting more attainable as time goes on, just 30.4 pounds to lose in 15 weeks. That's 2 pounds a week which is totally doable. I need to keep working out, that's the biggest key, and the only way to ensure I'm not burning muscle but maintaining them. Onward :)
I bought some clothes today at the thrift store, large and x-large sweaters and jackets and a coat. It was SO fun to not buy plus-sizes. Finding pants has been harder, I still carry a lot of weight down there and I have never had great luck with pants anyway and now it's difficult because I'm right between plus sizes and regular misses sizes in pants. I tried on 10 pairs today and just gave up without buying any. Bah! I have no jeans that fit so I'll try again tomorrow I guess.
Eating isnt' fun anymore. I get full SO fast and all the anticipation of eating something yummy just dissipates when I am full after a couple bites. So I'm really learning to just not get too interested in my next meal and so my food addiction is firmly in check these days. Pointless. So, yay! The problem with this is that I also don't care to eat good stuff either. I need to push the protein and still eat when I don't feel like it. Today I worked out with my trainer really hard and got home and was sick to my stomach. This is a tell-tale sign that my body is burning protein for fuel and since I hadn't eaten much in the past 24 hours, I knew my body was chewing off my muscles. So I ate some bacon and felt right as rain quickly. Bacon is so yum. I can't eat much but boy do I love it!! :) It's not the healthiest protein but once in a while it's okay. So ya, still learning and figuring all this stuff out as I go. I love my sleeve, SO SO SO SO glad I did it and I wish that more people would do this. It truly has changed my life, my relationship with food, and my whole outlook on life. BEST. DECISION. EVER. I wish I had done it years ago, but I'm glad I did it now and didn't wait any more. I'm so happy :)
