Tuesday Weekly Weigh In!!! 10/30/07
Thanks Shawn for the words of support and encouragement! I am trying to remain calm about not losing but its hard for me, however I am near goal and this may be just where my body wants to stay and ya know what, I need to be ok with that.. I feel good and I feel I look good even if it is a measly 4 lbs from my original goal!
I am sorry I have not responded to your post, we have been without internet most of the time for the past few days with the carpet layers here. I wanted to tell you that I read your post though and I honestly when you told me the therapy you were going to have, I instantly said to myself, "this is better than meds for that baby".. you are doing the right thing Shawn. I am glad to see you are trying this over the medications for now. When you have a disease like that you need help controlling it one way or another, no one looks down on you.. and if they do they are ignorant about Bipolar disorder and ignore them. It is a hard disease to manage sometimes. I am sure your husband finds it trying and this has got to be very upsetting for you especially with a baby on the way. Hopefully you can get some things straightened out. Are you guys in counseling right now (not to be nosey) but maybe this would help smooth things over while you are trying to get regulated on therapy and at least get the lines of communication flowing between the two of you.. I know its none of my business and I should not even be suggesting things to you but I hope it all works out for the best and do know I am thinking of you and praying for you Shawn. I wish you nothing but the best whatever that road may be.. hugs.. hang in there sweetie. You are loved by all of us and supported 100%. Come here when you need to vent ok? You can PM me anytime also.. I am a good listener and always here for you... *hugs* ~Melissa
Hi Melissa.. we all have a day like this once in a while. Do not beat yourself up and I really feel the key to the psychological part of this postop is remembering tomorrow is always a new day and a day to do better. Sounds like you understand that already which in my mind is a total success.. hang in there.. you are doing fabulous and losing just fine! *hugs*
How did I do? Well, I lost 1 lb and I am happy about it because I do not want to loose much more weight. I am pretty happy at my current weigh, only need to have a TT/breastlift and continue exercising in oder to tone my legs. My stats are:
SW: 320
LW: 192
CW: 191
My personal goal is 180 but now that I am 190, I am pretty happy with it. So, lets see what happens from here on.

PD: are they done with the flooring? how much loooooooooooger did you have to...............?
Hi B! Congrats on the 1 lb loss and glad to hear you are sliding into your "preferred" weight and body and ready to start maintenance soon. I have been toying with carbs getting more in and honestly that is what I believe is stopping my loss if you want my honest opinion. So maybe try upping those a bit when you are ready to stop loosing. I have upped from 60 to near 80 and now my weight loss is almost stagnant but at the same time I am also near goal and felt I should up it some. I think you have done terrific and I think your latest pics are absolutely beautiful. Isn't it surreal sometimes? I look in the mirror and just smile at myself (I know that sounds bad) but I am sure you know what I am talking about.. we have come so far. It is one heck of journey.. one I will always treasure and hope to maintain forever.
As for the flooring, yes they are finally done. It has been a crazy few days between having that done and getting ready for this halloween party we had tonight (fun I might add!) and now it is over and I feel I can breath some. But I still have a hectic day tomorrow. Sorry I haven't been around to post much this week, next week looks a lot better after Monday.. out of town monday night for my actual surgeon's support group. Ready for a bit calmer pace so I can hit the gym more.. haven't gone this week and won't be able to, its totally killing me.. u just have no idea.. lol.
Keep up the good work girlie girl.. I am so proud of you! Hugs!!
yes, it is very surreal. Its so hard to believe that I look good. When I look at myself in the mirror I do not recognize myself anymore. I was telling my DH this morning that I am going to start looking at myself like a thin person, like a regular person who does not stand out in the crowd, I am going to start accepting myself because this is where I want to be and it's a great place to be.
I have also started to eat more carbs(good and bad ones) with the intention of slowing my weigh loss, b/c as you know I want to stay at this weight. Loosing more weight will be too much for me.. I only need a TT and breast lift to finish off this journey. And what a journey it has been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for being proud of me, I am proud of you too and you are inspiration and guidance to us.
Hugs,
Beatriz
Oh the bounce, I could be a Kangaroo no joke, the queen of bounce right here! I honestly didn't start bouncing until I got about 10-15 lbs to goal and ya know what, you are right there so this may start being a common occurance, down a few then bounce a bit.. etc. It's ok though, its all part of the journey and process. The body is starting to settle into things most likely. You look great and did I ever tell ya how much I love your posts??? Please keep them coming, you make me smile. Keep up the great work Steve! *hugs*
