New Scale Third Weigh In

I got a new scale yesterday because I wanted to see the numbers instead of squinting down at little hashmarks. I now weight 241. I am somewhat pleased. I guess about 2lbs a week is ok. I would rather that it was 3lbs a week, but its better than gaining.

 

I had to try on clothes this weekend. Shopping for a very important event. I realized that in the past I never liked to try stuff on because I hated knowing that the size didnt fit me. But I had to try on the dress this time because I wanted to see which one looked better on me. Neither did. I looked pregnant and not in a beautiful glowy way either. I think this is why women can become obsessive over shoes and purses. Those are two fashion items that you really dont have to worry about size wise, other than the shoes.

 

My birthday was this weekend, too. The big 4-0. Yay me. Kevan (my SO) made a comment about how he hated not being able to enjoy meals with me anymore since I got my surgery. I really hate hearing that. I WAS enjoying my meal. I love him but he had been really give me conflicting statements. Theres a history there about the support/no support with him. But I will leave that for another blog.

 

I added some pics of me that I could find. Further proof that I avoided the camera like the plague. Time to go have my first mini meal of the day!!

Congrats on your loss! Any loss is an achievement in my book :-)

I'm with you on the shopping thing... I've become the biggest shoe collector since I gained weight... funny thing is right now I can't wear anything but flats and tennis shoes b/c of foot damage caused by my heels but I'm already purchasing new ones for when my foot gets better LOL.

I'm sorry to hear that your SO is not being supportive. That's one of my biggest fears. My husband says that he will but I know he likes me heavier and I wonder what will happen when I really start to lose. Maybe you can talk to him some time (not around a meal) and let him know that his support is important and it hurts you that he makes those comments when you are trying to get healthy...

Either way - good luck and keep your head up. HUGS!
