Day By Day

Mar 22, 2010

 Well I can't believe a month has gone by already! I am feeling better everyday and able to consume a bit more with each passing day. I am excited that I am down almost 20 lbs! I weight what I did when I was nine months pregnant with my son 26 years ago! To me that's like starting at the beginning again. 

I still am having a heck of a time with water. It just doesn't go down like my morning protein shake does that's for sure. Anyone else have that same problem. Even when I spice it up, I still have a hard time. Weird!

As for the food....I still cannot handle eating breads, or anything high in carbs....it seems to get stuck right at the top of the old throat.....I am fine with it for now. I am not a big bread eater, but a slice of toast once in a blue moon would be nice. Oh well. All in all, I am very thankful that now I am in control of what I eat....food does not control me anymore like it used to. I am so amazed at how little a person can live on. I watch my family load up their plates and I can't believe I ate like that and more! I savour every bite, chew, chew, chew is my motto! I have learned not to eat literally anything after supper or I pay for it when I go to bed and suffer acid reflux. I can drink anything...just not eat.

I look forward to the day I can have a bit of carbonated something or other. Not sure if that will ever happen, but a girl can hope right??  Other than that, I am very thankful that I am getting healthier everyday. I am so looking forward to the next few months. What excites me is seeing a different number on the scale everyday. To be able to wear the same clothes my kids are wearing or even smaller excites me even more. No more frumpy old lady clothes! YAY!

So as the song goes...to all the girls I've loved before....Tracey's version....to all the clothes I've worn before...good bye and good riddance. Hello to a new me! Blessings everyone!
