what was I thinking....

Where to start...

 

Well things are looking up again. After getting unfilled 4 months ago and gaining 22lbs. I can only point the finger at myself. I made a promise to myself that once i got it off I would NEVER go down that road again. Hmmm.... ate those words. When I started this journey i was in a size 26 pants. Could wear a 24 but the 26 gave me alittle more room if you know what i mean.? I was doing really good back in April of this year. I was in a size 10 and at 162 lbs. loven every second of it. My husband lost his job and we was about to loose our Ins. So i thought i better get one more fill for FREE before i loose it. UGH! why did I do that. After getting another fill I stayed sick. stomach became enflamed and had to get unfilled for a while. NOT GOOD FOR ME AT ALL!!! I lost all self control. Im talking about back to eating Mcdonalds, bread.... I can blame NO ONE but myself here. :angry: Went to the Dr. On friday was able to get a fill in my port that has done a 90 degree turn. Thank goodness this Dr. knows what he is doing and was able to put me back a 5cc. BOY CAN I TELL IT. yippy... Im back and working hard at it again. Size 10 here I come!

 

Peace~

Thanks for sharing I hear your struggle loud and clear. I have needed a little more motivation myself lately. Maintenance has been going just ok for me it is really hard to stay on track if you're not that tight. I can go up ten pounds and down ten pounds in a week. I have been trying to find the balance. It has been soul searching for me. Making sure I get the best foods as I have add back some starchy carbs because I can. Making sure I don't over do it is what I need to look at. I am glad I am not alone, as I continue my life struggle I am happy I am a size 10/12 and not the 24 I used to be. Happy to be alive and glad I can write about it. I would not trade this journey for anything. So very Best wishes imaluckydog
