Hi,
My surgery was two months ago and I have happily lost 25 pounds. I am 72 years old, so slow and steady is fine with me.
Over the past week, I have been cooking and celebrating my 50th wedding anniversary and overdid the sugar intake. Back on track today and hoping to create a more regular eating schedule. I have been having trouble with the five meals a day thing and with getting enough liquids in. However, after a summer of travel, we are finally at home and I can establish more control over what I am doing.
Also, while we travelled, I had some exercise, but mostly just sitting in the car, so now I can re commit to exercising daily. Always a problem for me.
Are there any other self saboteurs out there? I am very capable of defying my better self and actively avoiding doing what is good for me even when it is easy. It is as if there is an imp in me that simply believes that somehow I must rebel against my own self interest. This imp enjoys my failure, and takes pleasure in thumbing her nose at any rules or restrictions I wish to impose. I am in a battle with her today, but today, I am going to win.
