Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Wednesday 4/10

Hugs. I am so sorry that you are going through this. Sending many positive thoughts your way.

100.2 lbs today.  It's going to be a long, long day for me :-(

That chocolate I was whining about this weekend is getting to be regular part of my evening.  Is this good or bad?  Time will tell.

Judy, hang in there!

How much are you eating? Does it fit in your food plan and calorie allowance for the day? Can you stop at your limits? If not, get rid of it.

Here's the thing - I can't stop eating it until I'm sated.  Mind you, that's not a big amount (because I usually have some protein first) and it fits into my carb allotment.  The problem is that it FEELS out of control - it gets compulsive.  I have to rely on my stomach's restriction to stop.  So that's not good.

There's nothing to throw out because I already ate it all :-)  But I will be channeling you Gail, when I walk past that aisle at the grocery and ignore the chocs.  I know it's the right thing to do because I don't want to do it, which means my carb addiction is speaking....

Thank you Gail.

You won't feel restriction with chocolate. I have walk by many things that call my name. It has become easier with time. I gave up no added sugar fudgesicles, because I couldn't eat just one or two. There have been other things that I have given permanently or at least temporarily. It just isn't worth it to eat certain things.

Yes, but it's so hard!  But I'll do it.  Thank you Gail!

Yep, it can be a real challenge at times, and I don't always win.

121.6

Weigh in day/2yr WLS anniversary is tomorrow for me- but whatever I am weight wise- I am pretty dang happy with. Body-wise in my skin-tamers I look great- and face- wise, not gaunt! Maybe this is the fill-out phase.. though my upper half still seems ribby.. oh well, I'll take it!

Had a particularly funny end of the day- hit the bathroom on the way out before heading to get my hair cut (love my salon, glass of red wine & great scalp/neck massage comes with .) Anyway, I somehow sat wrong and popped the already failing zip on my dress pants- the one I had meant to fix for the last couple and never got around to.. well, the thingie broke, no way to zip pants, and somewhere to go. Walking out the bathroom, and laughing about the predicament to the other cool women that work with me- no one had a safety pin.. One tried to staple me in my pants with me holding the front closed- nope, didn't work.. what to use... hmm, medical office- sutures!

So I leaned up against the break table and sewed the front of my pants shut.. flat belly=easy to see crotch in need of stitching! Nice not having a pooch! I think I'm calling this a NSV for me!

 

124.

So today at work someone told me I look like I have lost a lot of weight. Well, I think I do too! But I haven't actually lost that much on the scale, which I think is interesting.
