As my journey continues down this dirty, bumpy road I hung on for my life. I'm down to 212 again. I was at that mark a few months ago but I gained some weight back when I able to start eating normal food again. It was very depressing gaining the weight back, I questioned if I had made the right steps. I find that I am stronger than I am weak. As I look inside the find that strength I realize it was there all along. So I lose 4 lbs last month and my dr was very happy for me. I questioned the amount and again was told I was on the right road. I have only lose 3 lbs this month. The small amounts are again depressing to me. I expected to lose more, but if I wanted that to be true than I should have had the bypass done (according to my dr heh). After talking to others that have had the lap band, I am done well and again on the right path.
So I continue on the path that has been laid in front of me and I embrace it with open arms and open heart. The funny thing about it all is the fact that I'm kinda happy with where I am at this point. I know I'm confusing. I'm depressed because of the amount of weight but on the other hand I am happy. Not happy with the amount of weight loss but with the fact that I was a type 2 diabetic and I am now considered a type 1 and it is controlled by diet alone. Yes I will be happy to loss more weight but I so pleased with the fact that my diabetes is almost cured :-)
Life is good
Hey 3 lbs is good!! Remember you never want to lose too much too quickly. I'm glad your diabetes is under control. Just keep eating right and you will continue losing weight and getting healthier. It will be a long journey but you can do it!! Remember getting depressed doesn't help at all it just makes things harder. I know easier said then done but you have to try; just think of your goal and all the positives that will come out of reaching your goal.
ReplyDeleteI've been stuck the past several weeks but not letting it get to me. Its funny I haven't really lost any weight but my clothes seem looser. My hyperthyroidism has improved. My body is now producing more thyroid hormone on its own so my synthroid dosage has been lowered. Some PCOS symptoms have gone away too.
By this time next year we will both have neared our goal or have reached it and be healthier than we have ever been. =)
Oops I meant hypothyroidism.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mel. Deep in my head I know that the weight will only come off slowly (that is the type of surgery I choose). And I mean to tell you at Jon party that you look good. I found that maybe you can't see it but everyone can see it. People tell me all the time they can see it and that makes me happy. :-) and you're right, next year we will be different inside and out :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! =) No one has noticed except Jon. He is constantly telling me how he is so proud of me for losing weight and that it is really noticeable. He has been really good and supportive.
ReplyDeleteryan has been great and supportive too. funny thing he has actually loss a few pounds since my surgery. :-) he feels bad eating infront of me.
