18 Months Today

Today is 18 months since my revision surgery. Not much has changed since my last blog entry, so I will make this short. I am still trying to get back to basics and lose my regained weight. Today I weigh 130lbs, and this is totally unacceptable to me. I have maintained my exercise regimen thruout this journey, but have allowed head hunger to rule my eating behaviors, whi*****ludes eating simple carbs, grazing all day, and unplanned snacking. I do still use MFP and weigh my food during meal time. So I am now focusing on getting my snacking and mindless eating under control. I have decided to weigh myself daily and hold myself more accountable, even though daily weight changes can throw me into emotional turmoil. For instance, yesterday I weighed 129, and today 130. But it does force me to address why, and act on changing today, not next week. I will post new pics of what I look like today.

Please post when you have the new pics.  

Happy 18th months revision anniversary.  I don't know your height but 130 sounds like an acceptable weight.  

Head hunger and emotional eating is a problem for me too.  I've really worked hard on getting to the bottom of the emotional eating to develop healthy non-food strategies.  Both of my regain periods were simply from going back to old habits of emotional eating and eat healthy more mindfully.  

I respect your awareness and determination.

Today is my 21 month surgiversary... I'm beyond disappointed in myself for the same reasons. Regain is an evil thing and getting bott is not easy. I'm on day 8 but like you the scale hates me, Yesterday I was 192 today i'm 195!!!! Very frustrating and scary. Congrats on your 18 months and good luck with your continued journey

Thanks Jenny. You can do this!! Hang in there and congrats on your 21 months!
