Not a lot to report to be honest.

 

I'm having a love/hate relationship with my body right now, and honestly there isn't anything I can do to "fix" it. I'm doing everything "right", I'm eating, I'm enjoying life, but now the scale is being down right evil. I'm not sure how much smaller I can get. Last night and today, I'm weighing in at 123.

 

Honestly, I'm pretty damn devastated over it. I'm trying so hard to just maintain, and not lose anymore yet my body will not cooperate.

 

Just when I think I've got it figured out, I step on the scale and BAM 2-3lbs gone. I've even quit weighing every day. I wish it was just water weight, or bloating, but this is actual weight.

 

I told my husband last night that if I hit 120 I'm going on weight gainer. Because I refuse to slip below 120. I'm hoping my new work out routine will help build some muscle mass, and that will help stop the loss and even add some pounds back to my frame. I'm only going to lift weights, and do ab/core exercises. No cardio, I may go swimming in my neighbor's pool, but nothing to burn the calories I get in every day.

 

Mentally, I am absolutely drained. Physically, I feel great.

Thanks Laura. My surgeon said the same thing " you should not have been this successful". He told me that he has RNY patients that haven't lost like I have that started off around the same weight/height and BMI.

I honestly think the loss is directly related to my stress level. When I relax, I feel better.

I worked out today, and worked out HARD, I'm gonna see if building muscle will help stop the loss. I figure building the muscle mass will stop the loss, and tone me up.

I'm not just not okay with getting any smaller. I'm in a size 4/5 now. My 6 and 7s are practically hangin on me. People are starting to comment on how "skinny" I am. It's just weird.

Good news, my stress is gone ! ! ! We got amazing news today, and all is well again.

I'll just tell y'all what happened.

The finance office here on base screwed up John's enlistment date on the military pay system. They had him separating from the military as of March 31, 2010. Well, his current enlistment is until 2012, and he's a lifer. Contracts only go for 3, 4, or 6 years, so they screwed up. Least to say, we haven't been paid. We have savings, we are debt free, but we were kind of freaking out with the 1st approaching, and obviously bills needing to be paid. Well, we went to the 1st Sgt last Thursday, and it was escalated to the Commander, today John got the call that he'll be manually back paid tomorrow. It's a huge relief for me because I handle all of the finances and bills. We didn't want to dip into savings, or rely on credit cards to pay bills. We've never done that so we weren't looking forward to it. This is actually the 2nd major screw up we've had to go through with this finance department here. We ended paying in over 2grand due to a mistake they made when we first got here(2 years ago), and we still haven't recuped all of our money. So,least to say, we were stressing that this would not be resolved quickly.

Thank you all for your support and prayers. I already feel much better.
