One year and 150 lbs down



Recommended Posts

That's right - one year. 150 lbs. still going but even if I didn't lose another pound I would be happy. I have my life back and it is GOOD. Thanks to those here that have been so supportive.

Big HUGE thanks to Dr. Almanza and Dr. Betancourt and their whole crew. Melissa, my coordinator, who even came to see me during my surgery... What a blessing you all are! Can't wait to come visit and have some fun in TJ!

What keeps me going? Life! I'm too busy to think about stopping!

I never feel deprived or hungry! It's about changing your mindset if you think about food. Instead, think about what food allows you to do.

Willpower is a crap excuse to not do something. Just start doing what you need to do and make it habit.

You didn't become fat through willpower, you won't become healthy through it either.

Form good habits. If you do something enough, it becomes automatic.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
