Eating big from 7/18 to 7/24

It is Saturday night and here is the end of another week and I lost another pound. I really do eat too much but as long as I lose 1/2 to 1 lb each week I am ok with it. I have tried cutting back and I just can't do it. When I lose a pound a week that means I am using 500 calories more every day. I burn 10 calories per pound of me so I should even out at 50 lbs. less than I am right now. That is less than I need to weigh to be happy with myself so I really think this is ok. I can go out and eat like a normal person which is good. I guess time will tell. I was talking to my husband as we were driving this afternoon and I said the only thing that has changed since my surgery is that my blood sugars were normal. I was unhappy because I have no limits. He looked at me like what the heck more do I want. The more I think about it, he is right. I out of every 14 people is or will be a diabetic and my A1Cs are normal since surgery and I am really not suffering from lack of food and I am off insulin. We had another dinner party this evening and I ate without a problem and had a great time...again. My calories are still around 1600 for the day. I got to my gym and jogged, biked and swam this afternoon because I have a triathlon next month. I need to change my attitude rather than have a revision. I think I weigh a little to light for a revision now anyways. I think life is good as it is.
