9 mos of success
Dang the shorts I have been wearing this spring/summer are steadily falling off! I mean really!!!! Never in a million years would I have believed that I could go from a size 16 to a size 12 (really could wear a 10) since April/May till July. I am nearly at a goal for myself and I swear I will faint when I make it.
I am learning that this is a tool. It was difficult to understand fully what that meant. Imean since when was my tummy a tool to help me. It really is just something you have to experience as you heal after your surgery. It is amazing how you 'USE" your new tummy. Absolutely amazing. I can taste a bit of something I have liked before but never want it like I was addicted to it before. I don't say addicted lightly. The farther I get from my weight and take on my new eating habits I can look back and see how bad it was.
Now I crave protein..I mean I really do. I find now that I have to eat about every 3/4 hours. I am exercising so much more now. I just love it. It has been quite an awesome summer of fun.
I wish for everyone out there seeking and participating in this surgery have the same success I have had. There has been a time of my body adjusting and then losing again. I don't obsess about losing but have embrace the slower phase and know that I have to work at getting to the end of my goal. The exercise part is fabulous. I love feeling my body getting and being stronger every day. It really creates ownership in the progress. I want to make this "mine" . I am tickled to work at it.
It is a good day..EVERY DAY.:):)
