Happy Monday!

It's been a good week for weight loss here, the scale actually hi*****esterday which is my lowest weight ever as an adult. Very exciting! And today I start a higher dosage of Vyvanse - 40mg up from 30mg. I feel like I'm on track to reach my plastic surgery goal in time for graduation!

No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

Its very hard for me to hear. Last time I put my all into a weight loss effort pre-WLS, people's comments confused me so much. They'd say "you look great, keep at it" and I'd think- huh, why keep at it if I look great?? (health was not my motivation then-- only vanity)
Now when hearing 'please stop losing'; my soul wants to stop and explain to them BMI, the history of diabetes and high blood pressure in my family and possibilities of regain etc. I know they don't care to hear that cause they are only talking about vanity-- not health.

That's got to feel both weird and sort of good to hear people say - I have yet to hear it from anyone. On the one hand, good, since people are basically saying, "you look fine!" But weird, since you know you're not at your goal/the healthiest weight for yourself.

So I'm up this week- I own it. Didn't plan nearly enough, and too many damn carbs. Buy one get one free is not my friend. New mantra- buy one get one means pounds- not savings!!!
Exercise is on point (YAY). Now if I cold only stop hearing "please don't lose any more weight".
