Feeling better about things.....

Today, I had some of the new foods that I am now allowed!! I started the day with BACON. It was the best thing ever! I got to have some dry cereal, that was good too. It was refreshing to have something other than the foods i've been eating!! TYJ.

My clothes are getting bigger and bigger. I think I'm gonna loose my britches in transit, lol. I've started selling some of the clothes i own now. The plan is to use that money to buy NEW, SMALLER clothes!! WOO HOO!! I can't wait to shop some of the stores I've had to walk by in the past because they don't sell plus size clothing!! That's motivation in itself! It gives me hope to look at the smaller clothes and know that I will soon be able to try them on and maybe purchase them if I like it!

I have not always been plus size. It was a hard transition to plus size. To be truthful, it happened before my eyes, but i didn't even realize it.....does that make sense.  It's like one day I looked at myself and I was PLUS! It's so easy to put on the weight and enjoy every minute of it. It is ten times as hard to loose the weight.  I have been on the weight roller coster and that was a hard, emotional ride!!  Besides, yo-yo dieting is not healthy either. 

Even with the surgery, this is still a hard journey. The surgery changed my stomach, NOT MY MIND. I still battle with temptation all around me. FOOD IS EVERYWHERE!!! The fact that I know I can't have some of the things I still crave is a big help. Knowing that one bite of something can bring me to my knees (litterally) is a big deterant.

Some of the ladies at work want to try and eat like I have to. They are going to limit themselves to the foods that I can have, as well as eat out of the 1oz cups that I eat from.  I am now allowed to have 1-2 oz of whatever I eat.  GOOD LUCK LADIES!!

It's nice when people notice that you are slimming down.  It's still hard for me to see the changes in my body, but when others can see it, it lets you know that you're doing good and the struggle is paying off!
