I need some incouragement and some one to just talk so I thought why not try this site. There seems to be lots of info out here. I had surgery in November last year, I have lost 74 pounds since my journey started with this and am hoping to lose 50 more. I am excited with the new me and am enjoying the shoping since I am now in an 18-20, however I am losing weight a lot slower than I thought I would for some reason I thought, bamm it would just fall off and I would be a size 10. The hardest thing for me has been the mental struggle I am faced with on a daily basis. I hear myself saying you can have that, when I am looking at a muffin or an ice cream to you can't fit your fat butt into those pants..... The muffin or ice cream that I eat makes me sick and I throw up, and the pants fit. Crazy, crazy, crazy is how I feel sometimes, I am struggling to say the least.
Today I have on a new shirt that is actually form fitting and received several complements, I am not good with complements and just laugh or smile, not knowing how to come back with an appreciative comment other than a shy thanks.
I started walking several months ago but have been forced to stop doing so at lunch since we have had many cuts and had to let 4 people go in February. I need to find ways to get motivated to excersise since lunch is off limits!
