PO Month 08- 172.4lbs

Aug 16, 2016

     I'm so close to my own personal goal of 165lbs, but the struggle is real. I think I could've of met goal but I've picked up some habits that I feel is slowing down my loss, in addition to the natural progression of slower weight loss as I approach a "normal" BMI. Before, I get into that I will like to write I am SO proud of myself! I need to write that down, because I feel lately my paranoia is overcoming my success. I fit into Medium tops or size 8 and medium/large bottoms, size 8-10. This was my goal size. I workout 5-6 days/week, 3 days with a trainer. I eat well 80-90% of the time. Lately, I've been thinking is this lifestyle sustainable? My fear is about keeping my new lifestyle and not reverting to my old habits. What I need right now is therapy, but, financially I can no longer afford my therapist, so I'm back on the waiting list for a therapist in my WLS program. So it's back to journaling, something I started slacking on, the last couple of months.

  The habits I've picked up are grazing, snacking and not tracking every thing I eat. When I started tracking EVERYTHING, I was surprised how much I was eating, especially my carb content. At 8 months out I can eat more but not like before and for that I will forever be grateful. Measure and track is my mantra for Month 09. I'm hoping at my 9 month anniversary that I'm either at goal or close to it. Time to focus, keep my eyes on the prize.
