1/10/2013 - 186.5

I first of all want to lose the 10 Lbs I gained between Halloween and New Years day. That will put me back to the after picture below. When I achieve this first goal I then WILL get to my final goal before my Surgiversary date June 21st.

Here are my Before and After

My before and after

Here are my before and after! Not quite at goal.

Well I weighted and it is as bad as I thought it would be. Gained 10 pounds since I last weighted in October. Gained 20 from my lowest weight. Am now 25 -30 from goal. I have pretty much partied all Holiday season with no effort what so ever!! I am SOOOOO pissed at myself but I learned many lessons: 1. I HAVE to weigh at least once a week. Maybe I would have caught this sooner if I had 2. This will take attention and diligence the rest of my life. I can’t just pretend I am a normal person when it comes to food cause I am not. 3. Sugar/carbs have to be rareish treats not every day indulgences. 4. I need support from my fellow sleeve brothers and sisters. I need to get on Bariatric pal daily. 5. Exercise is necessary not only for my weight loss but also for my mental well being. I am a stress eater and the exercise helps with the stress. I restarted a ticker and set some new goals for myself. Joined the Valentines Day challenge and set that goal at 10 pounds. Really trying hard right now not to beat myself up but it is so hard!

Well I can say honestly that I had a good weekend with my eating! Lost back 2 pounds from Wed to today. With the extreme cold I did not get in any exercise. I just felt like hibernating. I did get some great healthy food choices precooked for the week though so that will help! Thank you all so much for the encouragement. It has really helped me to see that I was not the only one who struggled during my THIRD sleeved Christmas. Lipstick Lady- You are totally right! This is manageable. I mean at one time I had 125 LBS to lose now I have 10-20. In the overall picture of my life this will be easy!!! Michigan Chic- Sounds like you and I are in exact same place. We can do this! Brown Does All- You are correct. It is all about balance. I still want to live and enjoy food but I can OVERINDULGE like I did from Oct-Jan 2nd ever again. It has to be little and infrequent splurges. Thanks again guys for all the support!!!
