I think I did okay on food, although I was in my usual environment. Being out of town makes me out of control. But I kept thinking Protein, protein, protein. I think my family got sick of hearing about it.
My sister noticed that I had lost a lot of weight and ask how I did it. (She is expremely heavy too.) I bragged about the LB and told her that she could do it too, if she wanted to. I mentioned this website and that she could apply to join and hear about what others struggle with and their successes. She never got the information from me. I told her I'd show her my marks from surgery. She never asked to see. I guess she's not ready.
My other sister also noticed. She said that I looked great. She should know how I look. We live only 25 miles from each other, and never see each other. She asked all about it too. She said that our neice noticed too, but thought I'd be embarrassed if they said anything. I said that I was when I first started to lose. Now I love the compliments. I can't enough of them.
Friday, my neice took me to a store to buy a new pair of jeans. I found a pair to match my jean coat. They were two sizes smaller than the last pair I bought a year ago. I couldn't believe they fit, almost. I wore them to our reunion. That's how everyone noticed the smaller me. I'm so glad and happy they all said something. It made me feel good about myself in a say that I never frlt before.
Now if I could jump start my weight loss again. I've been the same weight for about two months. I'm glad that I haven't gained any weight, but I'd like to lose about 45 more pounds. On Wednesday, I have a band adjustment. Maybe that will do it for me. I hope so.
Until next time.
