Broke my plateau
Hi Journal,Wow, I finally broke that plateau. I was see sawing between 192 and 195 for about 2 months, and so I decided to do the 5 day pouch test, and it works, I was 189.8 this morning YEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAA. I did not stretch my pouch as it is functioning as it should and it is I that needed to behave, I have re-aquainted myself with the eating program that I should have been doing all along, and woopie, it worked. HUmmmmmm da go figure. I hope that the weight will continue to come off. I am 15 months post op and I have heard that if you don't lose all your weight the first year you might as well forget it, that the rest won't come off. My wl surgeon wants me to weight 175 and I was supposed to weigh that a couple months ago, and obviously I didn't, so now I think I am on the right track, (oh please I hope I am) I have 17 lbs to meet that goal, and my own personal goal is 165, and only because that is what I weighed when I met my husband. back then I was fat at that weight, and I will probably still be considered over weight, if not obese by insurance co stats, but you know what? I feel great now at 189.8 and I think I will feel even better at 175and then 165. I was a size 26-28 stretched to the limit, and I am now into xl tops, and 16 and 18 slacks how ever the pants need to be elastic waist as anything else feels funny. Im' a comfort girl. I even went down 2 shoe sizes, length not width because I have a very wide foot, but still the same my feet are smaller. I have had a lot of changes in my life the past 8 months 2 jobs that I quit because of nasty people to work with and one that I absolutely loved, but it was only seasonal, I will go back there next summer wonderful place to work. I used to work at a school did it for 10 years, and so I am going back there as a substitue clerical and sped. aide. When I subbed before I could count on one hand the amout of days I wasn't called in a year, let's hope that it is that way again this time around. well journal have to get moving, til next time, and lets hope the weight keeps comming off. I will behave myself, so it should happen.
