Vacation and other things have taken me away from the computer alot lately. I'm interested in doing so many more things as the weight comes off. I feel better, my diabetes is in remission, my self esteem is higher, I no longer feel like my family should be embarrassed of my obesity (yes, there was a point that it was very painful -- in my mind only, never an issue with them). I actually went to the pool last Saturday during the prime of the day and laid out to get some sun. I also posted some pics of me from vacation on another site that anyone can see - friends, family, old high school classmates. Big step!

 

As far as how I'm doing with eating, not bad. Not perfect but not bad. Since my first fill I'm not hungry 'almost all' of the time. When it's time to eat I am hungry. I don't feel full but I stop eating anyway - I throw leftovers in the trash, store them quickly, or if it's a family dinner I leave the table. I've been swimming at least 3 times a week for exercise. I need to start doing something specific to get my abs tightening up.

 

On the victories, I've lost 33 lbs. Yesterday I went to put on pants for work and they were way too big. Yeah!! Those pants have been with me from 220-260 - and about 5 years. Glad to see them go!! Blood sugar was 84 yesterday fasting. All's good.

 

If you are doing great, keep it up! If you are struggling, know that it happens to all of us. I had lost about 1# in the last 3 weeks and was feeling up about the progress overall, but frustrated to follow the program and be at a plateau. It's amazing what a 3# loss all of a sudden did for my optimism this week - and it made me even stronger on following the program with eating and exercise. As long as you are following your plan, you will have success. If you fall off the wagon, get back on. One day is not a show stopper - commit to not string 2 of those together though! :) Good luck and I thank everyone so much for sharing their stories. We're all helping each other succeed and get our lives back. Have an awesome weekend!

I was wondering where you had gone to. Glad you are back and doing so well. I am so pleased to hear about your diabetes being in remission. I have to wait until the end of October for my next blood test to see if mine is gone, as well. Happy you are back and that your progress is still going in the right direction.
