Supporting Red...

Hello lovely friend of mine....just wanted to stop in and say hello. I finally looked back and saw your update pics.....beautiful! But then, you always have been. ;) Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. :kiss: :rose:
 
*blushes* I apologize to you all for not being back in this thread to post. I realized today that the subscription to it had somehow accidently been removed. I had been wondering where y'all went and here you were... supporting me even though I couldn't see it. :eek: :kiss:

Thank you for that.

I was going to post this morning about the Carly Simon interview that I'm listening to in the back of the room, while I'm on the computer. She had the surgery several years ago and has put about 57 lbs of her weight back on. She knows why, just like most GBS patients know why. She stopped following the rules. I admit, I too have stopped following the rules. It's very hard to not do that.

You realize you can tolerate certain foods, so you find yourself eating them. *looks at my Mt. Dew can...*

Why is it we do this to ourselves? Habit?

I'm still losing, but I know if I don't kick my ass I'll be gaining again. :eek: I don't want that, so I believe I'll have to find away to be more accountable for what I put in my mouth.

I opened up my old GBS folder and now that I am over one year out, I should only be able to consume 8 oz. of food. I think some meals I consume more, some less, some right on the nose. But I need to get back to measuring and actually eating the right amounts.

So I'm going to be accountable today and everyday. I know there will be times I slip up, but I don't want to ever have to contemplate repeating this surgery. I know with the weather changing I will be able to get back to those nature hikes. Something I soooooo enjoy doing now that I can move with more ease.

I've had my last can of Mt. Dew for this day. Once again, I'll wean myself off of it, like I did before, so I don't have to deal with the Caff. headaches. I did it once, hell I've done it several times, I can do it again... this time though I will work very hard to stay away from it, as well as other foods I'm not allowed to have.


Protein = 3 oz.
Fruit/Veggie = 3 oz.
Fat/Starch = 2 oz.

Breakfast:

1/2 of a hamburger, with cheese, on a half a slice of bread
1/2 of a hotdog on a half a slice of bread
1 can of Mt. Dew.

That's not a bad breakfast... I have my protein. :eek:

You have done such a fantastic job thus far. take a minute (and I mean at least that time) to look at how far you have come to date. Remember how you felt before the surgery. Make sure you set goals both short term and long term. Put them on paper to be accountable to yourself.

Go on... I'll wait.







Now that this is done, smile.... you are not only beautiful today, you are becoming a new person each and every day. I am so proud of the person that you are and excited to meet the new beauty each day.

Hug yourself each day, take time to remember that you are loved by those around you, and by some that you have never even met. Not many people can say that they touch people that they have never laid eyes on, but you can!

That's a great idea. I'll do that today during my lunch break. :D I do know I used to make a "top ten" or "top twenty" list about the changes that have taken place in my life. It is time I remind myself of those changes.

Thank you for all that you've said. :kiss:

Greatfully so, sometimes... :eek: Recalls a few from my Navy days

Yes, nearly half the woman you once were...

Good job and thank you for the courage to post them... :kiss:

It has been a tough month for me, but things are getting much better, thankfully.

I've been busy balancing out my karmic life too.

I'm not caught up yet, but had to post... ((((((((Red)))))))))

Darling ((((((((Red)))))))))... :kiss:

We all get a little off track from time to time. I stay "in tune" to my eating and my bodies needs and balancing both can be very difficult.

It isn't easy to loose weight while increasing activity levels.

My last few times on the scale look like a stock market chart.

I was at 174 when I began with my new trainer, increased to 179, then dropped to 177 and Thursday I was again at 178.6 lbs...

My trainer isn't pleased.

It isn't eating badly, just portions, but after a good physical day, I'm much hungrier and my body is craving more too.

It's nature!

Instinct tells us to hold onto our reserves for lean times, so naturally after exercise the body want to replace what was lost, plus make new muscle.

Keeping good records will help and understanding nature helps to overcome the desires.

Too bad we don't eat with our minds... :eek:

Much luv to ya... :rose:
 
:kiss: Thank you au_man. :kiss: (((((HUGS)))))

The weather was pretty decent today, once we got to where we wanted to go for our first nature hike of 2008. :D

We went to Brown County State Park and took a couple trails. Absolutely lovely!!

At the end of one, there was a man made waterfall and a simple park with a set of swings. The kids swung on them and then I did too. :D

It was quite fun. No pinching or feeling too large to sit and pump myself up higher and higher in the air. My eldest grinned and said... "Mom, you look so thin." :eek: :kiss:

My other daughter asked if I would have done this a year and a half ago. I told her "No, because I wouldn't have fit well."

As I pushed my son on the swing, I remembered the times they would ask me to come and play with them and I would tell them "No". I never gave them the real reason, it was always "I don't want to" or "I'm tired." But in reality, it was more like... I couldn't last long playing with them. Now though I live for the moments. :)
 
Some accomplishments...

Looking Back Over The Year...

Things that have changed for me. :D


1. Breathing is so much easier.

2. I look at myself in a mirror and am amazed

3. Moving is much easier.

4. I have a job outside the home! Which I love!

5. I am no longer in Plus size pants, but in Misses size 14. (I do however still have Plus size boobs.)

6. When I walk I feel as if I am not being stared at for my weight, but instead I am being looked at because of the confidence I feel.

7. I have changed not only my eating habits, but I have changed those of my children, thus aiding my eldest to shed about 15 pounds. :D

8. My children get to spend more quality time with me, because I feel more comfortable with activities.

9. Most days I feel sexy, where before I felt “blah” .

10. As we approach a booth at a restaurant, or a small chair in a doctor's office, I no longer cringe wondering if I am going to “fit”.

11. I get in and out of vehicles much easier now.

12. I'm anxious to move.

13. Literotica is still a place for me to come to for both fun and support, but no longer do I feel I need to hide behind this screen because of my appearance and inability to function in the real world because of my weight.

14. I have been fortunate enough to inspire others and that's just a wonderful feeling.

15. I have not bought a pair of knit stretchy pants in over a year and a half!!!!!!! That was all I used to wear. I cringe now when I even see them, because I never want to wear them again. I lived in those things for so many years. Now I wear skirts, thigh highs, garters, jeans, dress slacks, dresses, matching sexy panties and bras... :D

I'm sure there is more, but I think for now this will do. :D
