10 months PO-5lbs under goal

Oct 16, 2016

  Well today marks my 10th month PO VSG and I'm 5 lbs under my goal weight. It was BLOODY hard to reach that weight. I'm working on my eating and I can't wait to finally start back with therapy. I eat more, my calories are significantly higher than I like and I decided that getting that under control IS important. The irony is that I eat very healthy ( which I'm proud of). However, too much of anything will/can cause regain, so the plan is to decrease my calorie intake. I still workout 5-6 days a week for 40-60 mins. I run 3+ miles for 3 days and the other 3 days are Strength Training with 20 mins of HIIT Cardio. I will be going home tomorrow for 4 weeks and I will be seeing my trainer 3 times a week, plus I'm planning to do some yoga. 

   What I find so amusing is that I thought exercise would be my Achilles heel. I guess I did not realize how bad my dependancy on food. No surgery or weight loss programs is going to help with my need to abuse food. I think finding peace with this demon will only come with a significant amount of therapy, so I'm looking forward to that being part of my routine. Yet, I'm worried on what I might find!

  My goal is still 165lbs, but I want to see if I can reach 155lbs. I've never, ever been that low and I want to see if it can be done. I'm currently a S/6, vanity size or not, it's weird having ppl look at me and call me "petite". Some days I can tell I loss weight, but I don't think I'm that small!!! My BMI is 24 from 44 and for that I will keep on going. I started doing research on Plastics not for next year (the start of my 40's) but the following year. I want my boobs back, I look like I breast fed a nation of kids and maybe a Tummy Tuck. Not sure on the last one....It's getting harder,but,I'm working on it.
