Heading in the right direction.
Yesterday I shared Friday's food and today it's Saturday's food turn. I don't count calories, but I do think about what's going into my mouth (most of the time). I'd say it safe to say that each day is different and it's less than 1/2 of what I used to eat. I just eat wayyyyyyyyyy different now. I make much better choices now. But I'm still able to enjoy food and learned to love new one's. Those nasty little yummy things still lurk around each corner. I'm eating more now so it's even more important to pay attention. So I pick and choose, say no more then yes so I can maintain my current weight. Like many of us, many times through out my life prior to weight loss surgery I'd lose, gain and gain more than I had lost. Vicious cycle. Not anymore. Sure I still get scared, so rather than ignore I'm talking about it, checking in. Sure I'd still rather have ice cream than salad but my weight is more important to me than that now. But I still struggle with my thoughts and actions some days. Let's get real~ the Dr. did not remove my "cookie bone". LOL The difference now is I know I have a fighting chance. I've learned alot and came a long way. I've been fortunate enough to be put in the game and have a chance @ this battle. I've never had that chance or always blew it in my past. And for that I feel lucky and I'm holding on to that~FOREVER. I will never forget what it's like to be obese. I'm fortunate enough to have won this battle & that alone will keep me focused. For me my goal is to stay below 153 pounds. It's a number I don't want to pass. Fluctuating is ok but only to a point~@ some point you have to admit your plain ass gaining weight. 158 pounds being 5'7 puts me back @ OVERWEIGHT. We are not going there, were not even getting close! So that's why I came up with 153 pounds being my STOP sign. If get close...It's time to refocus and rethink somethings. I saw I was getting close to 153 a few days ago and yesterday I landed there, so I'm checking in with myself.
I still blog to share and I'm blogging for myself most times. Encouraging myself, learning and remembering. I just share my thoughts out loud. You can read along if you want...
148 pounds=Susy's back on track.
I dance in the mornings. It's my little thing! 149.9 or under and I dance/bounce to the kitchen @ that silly wonderful number on the scale! Since I first got to goal 15+ months ago and the scale reads 145-149.9 in the mornings, I ☺happy dance☺. Ever since I've been amazed and thrilled. I was the first to say 2 years ago "not even surgery will work for me", but it did. And I'll be letting myself down if I get fat again.
MOOD: Excited to get a new deck on the front of the house. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
THOUGHTS: Phew~getting closer to that dance. Give me a week and I'll be dancing!

Congrats on your "shrinking".
My wife is on the Nutrisystem plan and exercising. Losing slowly but surely.
I trust you will find my Blog worth reading at times. You never know what you're going to get. Peace
You are wonderful and accountable to yourself in a way I wish more were. You will always overcome whatever obstacle comes your way and be true to yourself!
