los 8 lbs since wednesday

i checked my scale in 2 different locations, 3 times. ive been bad and checking my weight everyday because im struggling to eat what im supposed to eat. im really scared to have surgey so i guess i had quit trying. but i'm back on the bandwagon! eating right and will be having shakes for breakfast and lunch this weekend. but i have been loosing about 3 lbs a day and im not even exercising other than errands, housework, and school. and typing my book. just wanted to share that with you all. i was worried about not being able to do this diet stuff and going back to my old life but ive made it past the hurdle. am ordering a new exercise dvd and cant wait til that comes! i need to get smaller weights too, but since i hurt my neck i dont know if i am allowed to use the weights. ill ask at therapy tuesday when i start it. even more exercise, yay! lol
 
things are going okay. planning a 10th anniversary trip and party next year, and a bunch of other things. going to have gabbys party early for her birthday so im not "recovering" during a sleepover. we'll just do a bowling party i think. the one place i listerally do nothing for it, the other place i have to cook or bring food in. we'll see what we choose.

gabbys behavior is OK but slipping. no hitting or true fits which is awesome but her its my life i will do what i want attitude is getting worse. she tells us this phrase everday.

well i gotta get my shake and put her on the bus. hope everyone is doing well!!

Congrats on the successful losing before surgery Sara.  Keep working the plan you are doing.  You are having success.  Do try to leave that scale alone every once in a while.  We can not be slaves to our scales.  Live life, enjoy your daughter.  Sleepover's can be exhausting, not much sleeping actually happens.

im definetly a slave to the scale. i ordered some stuff to help me but someday i need to get those spoons. i keeep gaining the weight back. :( i hope the new dvd will help i am really struggling

Just keep doing the NEXT right thing, in each moment, and next thing you know, you have had a very good day!
I hope Gabby enjoys her Birthdayparty and I also hope her behavior gets better again.
Keep taking care of your needs too.

So sorry you are struggling. The struggle continues post-op too, since we don't get brain surgery with the body surgery..lol. Just remember how great it will be when you are feelng healthier and happier!

thats the plan i;ve been going with. two days in a row of exercising. 2 days of shakes (i think lol). but im so hungry. hubby ismaking chicken and i want some so bad. but i have about 4 lbs i HAVE to loose be4 my next appointment. so afraid to go there with a weight gain and get kicked out of the running for surgery.
