Finally convinced myself…2 months out

[KarKar]

I am two months out and have lost 46lbs so far. I feel great but I couldn't look in the mirror and can't see it. My clothes are bigger now but definitely not falling off me. Maybe my clothes were really too small before the surgery? I have my Husband tell me he can tell and he sees me everyday. I just really couldn't see it….

I have decided to approach this new journey as not dieting. I get all my protein in, but everything else in moderation. I feel like past diets have failed because I deprived myself of something and at some point I cracked and caved. I eat reduced fat but not fat free. I eat carbs. But again all in moderation and in a smart way. I work out a lot. My Nutritionist says that is a great way to think about it and is different for everyone but this way is obviously working for me.

I just couldn't actually see it in the mirror. Until I took a picture from before surgery 2 months ago and put it next to a picture taken last week. I finally see it! I highly recommend everyone doing this. Its a great motivator and reward for all our hard work! Especially those of us who are stubborn and refuse to see it at first!

Two months out and 46 pounds lighter? You are making excellent progress. Congratulations with your successes and keep up the great work!

By the way, I can also see the difference in your before and after pictures.

I tell everyone who asks my advice that they should take selfies every week when they weigh. Same pose, same work out outfit, same everything. I did and now you can see why. It's a huge difference maker.

Keep it up...you are doing a great job.

Thanks Everyone! You all are so sweet. Thanks Tinman, I am going to start doing that! Doing the side by side comparison was exactly what helped me finally see I was making progress. It was staring me right in the face

Holy crap you look great! I know it is hard to see if you are just looking in the mirror. That is why it is great to do all the before and afters, also have someone do your measurements! A real ego booster!!! Congrats!!!
