I lost my original journal. So here I am starting anew..

Highest weight before surgery 287

Current weight 220.

I could have lost more but I'm fighting my demons.

My weakness is cookies and chips.

During a meal I will favor protein and veggies. So it does keep me from gaining.

Still watching my sugar intake.

I find if I wait too long to eat, hunger makes my meal decisions.

Last night I ate too fast and wound up eating too fast-then getting sick, and then filling up on chips.

My bad habits are lurking right around the corner.

Whatever I decide to eat, I set a timer on my smart watch for 30 min before I allow myself liquid.

Like I said l, no gain. But not a single piund list in Feb.

Gave up dairy this week and lost 2 lbs. Finally honest with myself that Im lactose intolerant.

A few NSV: I can run up a flight of stairs. I'm outgrowing size 16 pants. I took my son to a bday party and was not self conscious and was somewhat social. My overall mood is good. Still happy amd proud of myself. :-D

You're doing great! Keep fighting those demons! If you feel like you need help, reach out to your NUT or talk to a therapist. That's what I plan to do when the going gets tough. I'm planning ahead for my fight! Because I know it'll come.

Keep up the good work!
