weigh day Week 15

Hello All. Weigh day week 15 is here and I am pleasantly surprised. I really did not expect any loss since last week was so great

Last week weight loss -7 lbs for a total of 80lbs gone

This week weight loss -2 lbs for a new grand total of -82lbs.

Very cool !!

I have 18 more pounds to go before September 10th and I am confident that I will make it.. This is just a personal goal for me and of course I still have plenty of more pounds to go after that but for now this is what I am striving for.

Now, I am gonna move on and talk about something that is bothering me... and that is being disappointed by the people who supposedly care about you and that are your supposed friends. I am sure many of you have had this happen to you and it feels terrible, but doesn't there come a point when you have to say enough is enough. How many times can this person hurt me or screw me over before you are through....

Sometimes I feel like I should just start looking out for #1 because no one else is gonna do it. Sometimes I just lose faith in the whole human race and wonder what has happened to everyone. Now, of course, I know not everyone out there is like that, and I am certainly not perfect when it comes to stuff but I do generally try to be a nice person, I do try to be a person that will help someone no matter what and if I do make mistakes it is not intentional. I guess I just need to vent about this for moment because sometimes it seems like the world is just working against me.

Now you are probably wondering how this relates to my journey with weight loss and Gastric bypass. Well let me tell you how it ties in. I was a MAJOR stress eater, I used food as a crutch to get through my tough times, my emotional times. Food was never a disappointment to me and food never let me down. I realized yesterday after my crappy day that all I could think about was eating. All I wanted was a big old Halo Burger w/olives, fries and cheese sticks!! and that was just a stress reaction, I was not hungry and I certainly did not need to eat that kind of food.. and I didn't. I was able to resist the temptations of crap, eat sensibly and stop when I was full. I did not eat anything I wasn't supposed to nor did I do any late night grazing like I would have normally done before I had my surgery. I am grateful that the surgery has helped me control those old nasty habits and help me gain insight as to why I ate and got as large as I did.

Well I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am am going up-north this weekend with my family members to accomplish some outside work as well as have a bit fun. I hope you all have a great weekend and I will talk to you soon.

Take Care.. Mechele
