Back On Track Together
What's the farthest "OFF TRACK" you've been, & how did you get back on??
I had RNY 4/06 & got down to 121 lbs (I'm 5'5") That was a bit too small but I did expect somewhat of a bounceback. Anyway, had plastics 10/08 & the recovery was hard! Got out of the habit of working out regularly. Then I started allowing myself certain foods I did not eat before... white carbs & sugar... so I wound up gaining to 182 lbs. I made excuses for myself and kept thinking I couldn't do it alone and kept asking my husband and friends for help... to exercise with me and eat better with me. I should have realized that it's all in my control. I cannot depend on anyone but myself which is how I did it in the first place. I made the choice to have the surgery and follow the rules and I was happy with my accomplishment. I was the one that made the decisions that led me off track. Now, I am the one that is taking control. No more excuses... no more waiting for anyone else to do this with me. June 1st I began the P90X program and got back on track eating lean meats, fruits and veggies. I am now down almost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I can do this & I will. I intend to get back to at least 145 lbs. I am starting to feel like the me that I really liked again :)
