Blah

Up until this point, I've been losing weight quite quickly by strictly tracking what I eat and exercising every day.  But guess what...it's getting harder.  I've known for many many years that losing weight, especially a significant amount of weight isn't easy but like so many others I'm looking for fast results!  Don't get me wrong, I'm still losing weight to be considered successful, I guess I am just impatient!

So I need to reflect on where I've been to give me the motivation to move forward in this journey.  I began this journey at 246 pounds on my surgery date, June 12, 2012.  Actually, they didn't weigh me the day of surgery which I find odd, so I'm using the last recorded weight at my doctor's office.  As of today, I weight 192.  When I put it in this perspective, I really should be proud of all of the hard work and success that has got me here in such a short amount of time.  That's 54 pounds in three months!  Now, if I could lose the other 50 in the next three months, I'd be set :)

My next fill appointment is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I would really like to see a ten pound loss since my last appointment.  I'm going to have to work extra hard to make that goal, but I think it's attainable...I just need to stay away from the nibbles of chocolate!
