It's here.... our 1 year sleeversary... I know you all have some pressing questions.... how much have we lost.... do we have any regrets... how has life changed....
I have lost a total of about 93 pounds... from my hw... however... I fluctuate... and I stay closer to 80 pounds down ... I have found a spot my body likes and I can't seem to get past it! my goal was to take off and keep off 100 pounds by today... I and a little shy of that... sad but a work in progress. Do I have any regrets... as far as the sx goes....No way! I would go again and again if I had to.... I do regret the times I was not & am not strong enough not to cheat.... I regret not continuing to be passionate about my sleeve... for not using it to the fullest! How has life changed.... I can move... I don't hate clothes as much.... I don't fear the Booth... I am not afraid to walk... I hurt less... I eat less but I don't freak out about it.... I can't eat spicy foods like before, it even tastes too hot to me... and most days I have a protein shake for breakfast and a salad with cottage cheese for lunch... I take an antacid daily (this just recently started) I am still working at weighing my food and grazing all day.. I do better when I am at home and not at my desk... There are several things I think I just expected to happen but they didn't.... I thought as the weight fell off it'd fall off proportionately... it didn't.. my arms legs feet hands and face are much smaller but my belly is still large... so my clothes size hasn't changed much... I thought I'd magically love exercise... I don't... I thought I'd hate junk food... I don't... in fact it is still the easiest thing for me to over eat because it is a slider food... I thought when I was full I'd just stop... i dont.... i guess i enjoy misery ... and i thought that my addiction to food would vanish and by tummy wouldnt growl ... wrong... in restaurant and gas stations I am like an alcoholic in a bar.... I've made some goals for year #2... take my vitamins daily.... weight my food... move more... eat less... I would still like to drop 100 more pounds... and 6 pant sizes... My advice.... stay on liquids as long as you can... fool yourself into thinking junk will kill you... move move move.... carbs will kill you ... and don't ever say... "I'm OK, if I never lose another pound I'm happy!" .... set your goal and achieve it....
