3-4 month update
Jun 22, 2009
Its been going rather well I must say. The sleeve is an excellent tool for portion restriction, but much work is still needed with the mental aspect of things. I find that I still eat too fast, which sucks. Why? Cause its UNCOMFORTABLE, when you eat too fast. Bad habit that needs to be broken. I still eat at night, even when not hungry, big no-no. I am also not eating when I should, but that mainly happens when I am at work. Thats no excuse, but thats when it happens. Its very easy to not eat, which sounds contradictory when I just said I eat at night when I am not hungry. Let me explain. This tool allows you to not feel physical hunger. It does NOTHING for head hunger. While working, if I am busy, then I dont think about food, therefore its easy to not eat. Make sense? When I am home, watching TV, its very easy to think of food and then eat, the wrong things too. So, be mindful when shopping and when eating. Thats my advice at this stage of the game.Ok, so I also am having a minor issue with hair loss. I did get a hair cut this past Friday and the stylist didnt think that much was coming out, and it was probably the normal amount for the day. She wasnt concerned. Well.... true its not coming out in big clumps, but it is coming out more that usual. To be blunt and honest... no I am not getting in enough protein a day, and not enough vitamin supplements either. I am trying, I really am. I graduated from Flintstone chewables to Centrum chewables for adults. The centrum taste gross.
Also on my list of things happening is emotional moments that I can not explain. I just posted my experience with that tonight, so I am waiting on some feedback to see if others have gone through this as well.
Other than that, the weight is coming off steady. The first month was a bit slow, but after that, its been regular. I feel really good, much better than I have felt in years. I also find if the scale hasnt moved much, that the tape measure tells a better story. Its like a growing child, but opposite. Instead of gaining weight, then growth spurt, its weight loss, then shrinkage. Pretty darn cool.
