Lost 4 lb I can't beleive it!



Recommended Posts

Since I wrote last time on March 11th, I stood up on the scale today, and found that I lost around 4 lb in one week.

What happened I don’t know? I know that I am fasting for Lent, and I started watching and controlling myself when eating; I used to eat without concentrating on the amounts of food. Now what I am doing is I am not eating that much of food like I used to. I am eating few and not feeling hungry. I didn’t notice the brain signs when telling me you are full and to stop.

Ok I think this is one good step for me.

The next steps are that I have to organize my meals. Look how was my typical day of eating:

I don’t eat Breakfast, I know it’s very important but I don’t. I just wake up at 7am drink about 1/2 liter Water, and 1 tsp of honey, then reach office at 8:30 have my small cup of Nescafe. Later in the day I sometimes have a small banana, or if I wasn't lazy the night before I have 2 light toast with 1 Tbsp P. Butter and 1 tsp honey (this is very rare to happen) since I don’t prepare anything to eat at office.

If I don’t have the sandwich prepared from home, I usually have tea, and at 1:30pm sometimes I order with my colleagues a sandwich we call it Shawarma (Chicken) usually I remove most of the bread of it, also you can read about it here if you like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawarma its nice but not an excellent healthy food.

When I come back home from work around 4:30 pm I just don’t feel that hungry. So I just waste my time till the evening at 8pm I like to have a grilled chicken with a small bowel of cucumbers & Yoghurt with dried mint and pounded garlic, I love this meal. Sometimes instead of the Yoghurt I make a green salad. - I don’t like tomatoes a lot.

Or sometimes I eat what my mom cooked for the family lunch (my mom has a healthy way of cooking, and healthy food too). But I used to eat in big quantities you can say I stuff myself. (That’s what I noticed recently, and why also I am not losing weight)

Finally late at night (I used to eat chocolates) but not anymore now since we are fasting for lent (Easter). But after Easter I will keep the chocolates away.

Pray for me so at least I can stop eating the big quantities of chocolates, and have instead fresh fruits or at least skimmed milk with cocoa.

During this weekend I will make a program for myself, I am an expert in this I have been to dietitians all through my life and I can talk & act like them, and make healthy programs as they do. I know how to weight and register food. Ahhhh I almost know everything but sometimes I can’t apply this on me.

But this time I said enough I must prove to everyone that I can do it and organize my life again, and go back to the gym (I haven’t been going to gym since April 2009).

Well I think that I wrote a long message! :frown: just noticed that.

If anyone really needs someone to talk to or need an advice in anything, I am here for you and I will do all my best.

God Bless you all

Thankssssssss you won't believe what the posts from you and everyone did to me last time, I honestly was crying when I read them, I was so desperate, so depressed and thought that my weight is stuck and will not lose even 1 lb.

Now I am more encouraged and will go back to gym I miss my coach and everyone there, they used to support me a lot. But I am the naughty girl I am just stubborn and I keep giving myself excuses for not going back to gym.

Now I will have more control on my life, watch, weigh, and register as I used to do all what I eat. I will go to the gym again. I must lose the 37lb till August.

Also I want to have a photo of me before and after, I just wish I can do this like all the people I see having a before and after pictures. I don’t like anyone to take a photo of me, I just wish to have nice photos of me, and wear whatever I want without having any worries.

I have this dream, I hope I will make it happen. In God’s will.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
