I'm not breastfeeding and I'm not pregnant... but I've still got those horrible horrible eating habits. I'm truly struggling at this point to find my way back into "weight-loss" mode. I was stuck at 163 forever. Now that I'm not breastfeeding but still consuming the same amount of calories, I'm at 168.
This is a big struggle for me. I felt really good about myself at 163, but now that I've gained a solid 5 pounds I feel really shitty about myself. I know 5 pounds isn't that big of a deal- but what is a big deal is the fact that I can't seem to get a good grip on my eating habits.
I really thought I'd be at goal by now... and I totally could be with more self control. I've got the whole gym routine down. I love going to the gym. Granted, I should do more weights... but I am really loving my cardio routines right now. Eating habits are what screws me... and it sucks.
So I need to start holding myself more accountable... and maybe, just maybe, I'll start updating this blog more... but who knows. I know this part of WLS would be interesting to read about when I was just starting out... to see what it's like years later, once the novelty of it wears thin. Not that having WLS was a novelty... but the pouch worked amazingly well those first 6 months.
Anyway... let's hope I can get back into some healthy eating routine soon. I would love to be at goal by summer.

Worth the weight?
I am overweight... I always have been. Well, maybe not always, but pretty darn close. Over the past 3 years I've gone through so many different fertility treatments... which resulted in 3 pregnancies and one child (who is the absolute love of my life). I attribute a lot of my weight gain to the fertility treatments, having a baby and being a working mom... I've also got my PCOS working against me. My biggest problem is myself. I refuse to blame my weight on anyone or anything but myself. This is all about me at this point... and I'm finally doing something about it. On October 17, 2007 I set a date to have weight loss surgery. From this point on, my life will never be the same. I will live the life I have always imagined... and I will do it significantly HEALTHIER.

*hugs* I can imagine it must be tough to keep up the same level of intensity for all this time.
keep your head up! You can do it! :) Do you write down what you eat? I need to start doing that. I hear that it really makes a difference but i have yet to purchase a food journal. hmm...I also need to get my caboose to the gym. When I lived in California I was going religiously once a day and I looked and felt amazing. Now that I am in dreary, winter weather, all I want to do is hibernate and get underneath a blanket. I do not want to work out and it is so depressing. :/ I need to get motivated asap!
aw, I'm sorry. It's hard when other people say "it's only 5 pounds" but you know what feels good on you.
It's a hard routine to get into. I totally understand. I hope you keep your head up and know it takes time and work. You've come too far to get discouraged now!
