down 5 pounds for the week.

I'm down 5 pounds for the week and I feel really good about myself. I saw the dietician today as well as a fitness coordinator, so now, as of tonight, I've started coordinating exercise into my diet routine. I also spoke to the doctor and she was totally supportive of banding, which was a great relief.   Things seem to be rolling in the right direction and I couldn't be happier. I am scheduled now for weigh in's at the doctor's office every 2 weeks, so that additional structure should also h

Cold

Well, I've caught the seasonal cold that is making the rounds. My nose is like someone turned a faucet on. The upside is that I am not at all hungry.   Anyway, I got my cpap machine and apparently I am a mouth breather. Lovely huh? Boy oh boy I cant wait to drop this weight so I dont need that stupid machine! I guess I wouldnt mind it, but when my throat is raw or I wake up feeling like I'm suffocating - it's a little off-putting lol.   Wednesday is weigh day and I'm excited. I also see the

Weigh day! Weigh day!

So Wednesday is my official weigh day, and I've dropped 12 pounds in one week by sticking to a 1200 calorie diet. It's really been a boost for my confidence. I had a mini goal set to lose 29 pounds by December 8th, but I think even when the weight loss slows down a bit, I'm still going to easily reach that goal. So yes I'm very pleased! I also have my cpap machine now and slept 12 freaking hours! My face hasnt looked this rested in years!

Support

I guess part of this life altering beginning also involves evaluating the people I surround myself with and whether or not they are supportive.   I read an article not too long ago that if you have fat friends, losing weight is going to be that much more difficult. Well, my best friend is also overweight and like me, she is trying to shed some pounds. The only problem is we are light years apart when it comes to motivation. Sometimes I can't even be around her because she'll start complaining

Food Journaling

For the last few days I've been keeping stock of every single thing that I eat and when I eat it and how I'm feeling when I do eat it. Needless to say, I didn't restrict myself so I could get a glimpse into my honest eating habits.   What I realize now is that I need a freaking hobby! I get the urge to eat for no reason whatsoever. I won't even be hungry and I'll want to gorge on something. My stomach will be full and I'll want to eat just a little bit more. I eat a lot out of boredom. I am to

And so it begins...

I've always struggled with commitment. In my head everything was easily accomplished, every goal seemed attainable, but reality told a very different story. Turns out the only thing easy for me to do all these years, was lie to myself. So here I am, ready to come clean, be honest with myself and take control of my life. Food is my drug of choice. It's my addiction. I am not any different from a heroin junkie. They have track marks, I have stretch marks. Bottom line is an addiction is a
