Down a total of 65 pounds in 6 months. I’m a freakin’ rock star!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted because I’ve been busy working out almost every day like a mad woman!
Say Whaaaaat?!
I know! I know! Not like me at all! 6 days a week and working on
adding a 7th day. My membership to the YMCA has helped IMMENSELY. I
love having the support and variety of classes and close convenient
access to it all. All of that has really contributed to making me WANT
to work out.
Who am I and what have I done with the old me!?!
I don’t really care because I kinda don’t want her back. I’m really digging the new me…
I feel the best I have in a long time, not just because of the weight
loss, although I’m sure that helps significantly! My energy is up, my
mood is up, my confidence is up, I think I’m funnier, too! LOL
As successful as I have been so far, I’m not perfect.
I still don’t take my multivitamins like I’m supposed to every day..
and because of this I’ve been sick 3 times in the past 6 months. Way
above average!! I’m working on this.. I need to find a tiny pill I can
swallow because chewables are just not working for me…
Surgery also doesn’t fix the emotional eating problem I have.
Therapy helps, and all the positive changes I’m making in my life help,
but when I’m stressed or upset, I still want nothing more then to bite
into a giant sugary, fatty, high caloric-y, cakey, buttery, really
sugary goodness of SOMETHING. BUT, I am very happy to report that even
tho I give into my cravings sometimes still, because of my surgery, I
cannot eat nearly as much as I would normally binge on before surgery.
So, for example, what may pre-surgery have been 6 cupcakes, has post
surgery, turned into just one cupcake. So that’s a good thing!
I also have been obsessively weighing myself every day. Not good!
Everyone says it’s not good and I have always replied with, “I need to
weigh myself every day to keep myself accountable”
BULL. SHIT.
It drove me crazy last month. I was so focused on that number that I
thought I hadn’t lost a single pound. I was so upset about it and when
I saw the surgeon last week, I had actually lost 13 pounds in that
month! I haven’t weighed myself since. Partially because I’m in Fort
Myers visiting family and don’t have a scale here…. lol But still, I’m
going to try and at least keep it to once a week.
Sooo… I guess to sum it up- Things are going well

I have lost 35 pounds since my last before and after picture post so I
will be taking another picture too! And be on the lookout for my new
cute bathing suit that I’ll wear in the photo because the bathing suit I
was wearing in the first two photos is now wayyyyy too big
‘Till Next Time..
