Long Time No Post!

[Guest guest]

Hi Again Folks! It has been a long time between posts again. I will

be 10 months out as of June 26th. I am down 166.2 pounds. I have

58.8 pounds to lose to get to my personal goal and 23.8 to get to

where Dr. Freeman says I should be able to get to. I have been

taking the last few pounds off very slowly. My mom says I was not

eating enough and has taken it into her head to feed me every day

since she is keeping my boys for me during the summer. I have eat

more the last three weeks than I believe I have since I had the

surgery! LOL! I am sticking with good things like grilled chicken

and steak though so it is good proteins. Except for the summer

squash which she knows I love and can't resist so she keeps cooking

it for me. Even though I want to lose more weight I would be

happy with what I have accomplished even if I didn't lose another

pound (hope I didn't jinx myself there! hehehehe). My problem is I

still haven't gotten my hunger sensation back so I really don't want

to eat. I have to consciously think about eating something and that

is very strange for me. I am still a popcorn junky (was before

surgery as well) and have to stay away from it because I know I will

eat it. I have no problem with popcorn either. Where as I can only

eat a small amount of most things, could eat an entire bag of

popcorn if I let myself! I have nibbled a cookie here and there

where as I wouldn't use to, but it is never more than two and only on

rare occasioons. I figure this is ok as Dr. Freeman says this is a

lifestyle change and not a diet and if you deprive yourself of these

things constantly you will feel like it is a diet and are more apt to

eat too much of them too regularly! Does that make sense? Am I the

only one who looks at it that way? Anyway, just wanted to check in

with every one and let you know how things are going. Keep skinny

wishes for me in your thoughts and skinny wishes to all of you!!
