Hitting The "reset" Button

I'm about three and a half months post-op, and my weight hasn't budged for about three weeks or so. I know plateaus are totally normal, but I feel like over the past week or so I haven't been a good bandster. I know I'm stuck on this plateau, so I've let my eating habits slip and exercise essentially stop. I know, I know, I'm awful!!

 

The thoughts of - - maybe I'm only supposed to lose this much weight; maybe I'm supposed to be a 190 lb girl - came pouring back in. On prior weight loss adventures, my lowest weight was 189. That's where I'm stuck now.

 

So this morning I had a nice little thinking session, and decided that I will NOT accept being 189 lbs. I KNOW I can reach my goal. I KNOW I can be a better bandster. So I'm kicking my butt back into gear.

 

I started today going back to basics - two protein shakes during the day then a healthy dinner. I'm going to get back into walking daily, no excuses.

 

I didn't really "fall off" the wagon, but I was hanging on tightly to the side, fingers slipping. So I'm climbing back on, sitting in the drivers seat, and taking control of this.

I was at a standstill as well for about 3 weeks and did the same as you and am at 16 weeks now. So I decided like you to get busy. I have lost 35 lbs in that time but expected to lose more especially when I see others post that they lost 50 to 60 lbs in three months. Some of them weighed more at the start and some had issues eating certain foods.

Unfortunately there is no food that has given me issues so I can eat everything pretty much. I had to stop working out for over two weeks due to a fall and that slowed me down. Also once in awhile I have to jump start my metabolism and eat more calores for a day or two to get it working again.

I have had two fills and did not feel much restriction. I am getting another Friday and hope it will help more. I really want to get back losing. Since the day I walked into the doctor's office, I have lost 60 lbs need to lose 60 more!

      Einarmige Banditen
      Casinos werden in erster Linie mit Roulette und Poker in Verbindung gebracht, aber Statistiken zeigen, dass 61 % der Besucher von Spielhallen ihre Zeit damit verbringen, einarmige Banditen zu spielen (Daten von 2013 von der American Gaming Association). Perish Regeln der Spielautomaten sind sehr einfach, und der niedrige Mindesteinsatz macht sie auch fur decease armsten Spieler zuganglich.
