Scale Moved and so am I

Jul 11, 2010

It's strange how right when my discouragement over this surgery reached it's lowest the scale FINALLY moved.  I am beginning to wonder if I am actually eating too little in calories.  Why?  The week I was so depressed I eat horrible, probably more calories since the surgery.  Though they were bad ones I wonder if my body was all excited and lost weight.  Just a theory.

I got some great advice from my last post here and feel I am getting back on track.  Now the scale has moved I am rededicated to making myself do the same.  I actually miss exercising.  I need it for my mental health along with my physical one as well.  My friend back in Indiana has presented a cool challenge to for us to do together.  She had the RNY over 9 years ago and has done the yo-yo thing with her weight.  She has 40 lbs she would like to get off and I have 40 lbs left to get off as well.  The challenge is a friendly competition to see who does it first.  We both got the Flirt Girl work out videos, which we can do "together" along with anything else we want to add.  It is like the biggest loser long distant!  I am excited to have the extra motivation.  Plus, she has some awesome clothes I would inherit if she loses the weight along with my loss...can't blame a girl to get excited over FREE clothes.

So, today I have re-tracking my food intake, water intake and exercise.  Not to mention my measurements and clothes size.  I haven't been a size 16 since high school I think.  Which might I add is exciting!  However, I did realize my body shape may never allow me to be a size 0 which I need to accept.  I am not other people I am ME and need to be excited over my milestones.  They may be smaller then others but they are mine, just like this journey is mine.  So, off to do some moving
