(Sigh)...

:( So another month has gone by and I'm still at 284 pounds. I get the results of my blood tests next week. At this point, I'm kinds hoping that they'll find somnething with my thyroid or that I do have PCOS. It's frustrating and a lil bit scary the moods that I get into. I go from being happy to sad to angry to just wantin to give up on myself and the whole world. And I'm beginning to think that maybe, just maybe, all the emotions I'm feeling have to do with more than just having gotten this operation. It's not easy. My boyfriend and I have been arguing and disagreeing more often. The only thing I've kept a tight hold on is going to the gym. All together, I usually do like 45 minutes of the elliptical and then 30-40 minutes weight training. At the end of each workout, I feel good about myself. As if I'm accomplishing something big, which I am.

I know how you feel, I'm 11 months out, and I've only lost 50 lbs. I'm happy to have lost that, but it's not nearly what I had hoped for. I just don't want to start going backwards. I WAS going to the Gym 3 times a week religiously, but now that I have a new job, now where near a Gym that has stopped. The only exercise I get now is walking. I hate that, but there is not a lot I can do about it other than create my own workouts at home, and continue to walk. I started out at 235 and I'm at 185. I went from a size 20 to size 14 which is great, but I was hoping for a 10- 12 by now. I'm not giving up, but it is going slow. Plus I'm not eating right.

It is way too easy to go back to the same old habits. I can eat 8 ozs now. I never expected to go beyond 6 but here I am. Over all I'm happy with my weight loss. It has certainly changed my life, but I would like to loose more. I've just got to work harder at it. Keep you chin up girl, all is not lost. Never give up. Boy friends come and go, but there is only ONE you. IF he don't like the ride, he can get off any time. Keep doing what your doing, the weight WILL come off. It took me 6 months to loose 50 lbs. and I've not lost any since then. But I"m not giving up by any means. We all go through good and bad times. DON"T GIVE UP!
