Post Op ups and downs...
Today was one of those days when I just had to come on OH to calm myself down...it's been the strangest day. A really good day with wow moments and everything but then also a crappy day because I only ate one meal today and I felt like the "old me" who didn't plan ahead and didn't make smart choices...
First "wow" of the day...I picked up the bridesmaid dress I need to wear in 3 weeks and was horrified that it wouldn't fit because I ordered it two sizes smaller than I fit into 2 months ago and in my head I'm still thinking I'm that same size. Well, not only did the dress fit but I think it might be too BIG. So that's pretty awesome.
Today I also decided to finally clean out the closet. I am getting rid of all of my clothes. It feels so good to do it...also a little scary since I don't have much left and I could very well run out of clean clothes at any given moment...must start shopping more!
So, the day was mostly good but it managed to be the worst day I've had as far as eating goes. I just didn't plan meals ahead and I was so busy that I didn't even realize that I hadn't eaten anything until almost 4 this afternoon and then I didn't make the best choices...egh. It just says so much about this whole process and how you really do go through so many ups and downs and how one day can somehow be one of the best and also one of the worst all at the same time....you know?

I know exactly how you feel- it's been one of those days for me too! I'm only 2 months post-op, and I'm worried I'm not losing weight fast enough. I've lost 40 lbs so far- is that normal? Today i ate crappy too and I just feel like a failure. Not planning ahead really does suck. Does anyone have any pointers to stay on track and to lose weight faster? I'm working out twice a day and I feel like I'm eating okay but I could do better.
