A lot of my blogger friends have left the building and do not blog anymore. Not so much I either these days. You move on and start living after you lose so much weight. I do like to keep this blog current and update from time to time, and that's what I've tried to do. I update my weight every month on the top of the month no matter what. Makes me look at it and stay on track.
So today is February 21st 2012. 5 years ago I weighed in at 294. In my 20's I weighed in at 350. 5 years ago today was my happy day. But I am just as happy to see year 5, 7 and 10 as the day I had weight loss surgery. I got a 2nd chance and help that I needed with my weight loss surgery. I've maintained with really not a lot of problems. I've just learned to say NO most of the time and from time to time when I am bad I don't over do it. I have a fry or 6, just not a plate full anymore. I lived that once, and I don't really care if I ever live that way again. I figured I got to eat what I wanted for 38 years & look where that got me. I don't know, something just clicked with me when I had surgery. I just had to much weight to get off without help. So now I feel I can't let myself down and I WON'T go back. I eat fine. All foods work for me now but cereal, anything with too much milk, such as gravy's and potato or creams soups. I just don't eat a lot. That's what I paid for right? YUPpers! Happy here.
No secret to my success but choosing the right foods, I eat lots of egg whites & limit my breads. I can have sugary foods. And still sometimes they don't work out so well and other days my body tolerates sugar fine. I don't dare eat a sugary food in the morning. It's after I've eaten a good part of the day I can get away with a scoop of ice cream or something. Sometimes I still am reminded I had a MGB. RALPH...
Today and all summer I have been in the 130's. Lovin' it! Healthy, skinny, size 4/6 pants, Small shirts, no boobs, nice ass. Everything I dreamed of. Well I sure wish I had more boob! Might just have to look into that. But I'm really not into that kind of pain or reconstructive surgery for myself, but yeah boobs would of been nice too...but hey, I'm healthy and happy.
