Checking In
Hi ladies and gents, happy summer.
I'm checking in and have been struggling with a stall. It's tough when things start levelling out.
I have upped my calories at the request of the dietician - which is good in one sense- hair is healthy, feeling more energy and great. But combined with exercising a bit, not losing much lately at all.
Also I have been having some summer fun, enjoying my new life a lot. I alternate between being very happy and excited with the things I can do! And then letting the old fears about "will this work" creep in.
This is my main forum of support - most of my friends arent aware of the surgery. So the emotional changes and things I am processing on my own with some days tougher than others.
Especially now that I am realizing what a poor quality of life I had before the surgery, and how to react to how people treat me now that I am no longer visibly morbidly obese.
Hope everyone is doing well... how is is going folks??
