Well… it has been a long while since I wrote a blog. Things are going quite well and I am excited that in just over 2 months I will be celebrating my 4 year surgery anniversary. How has time flown by that fast? Seems crazy. As usual maintaining my goal weight (153 pounds) continues to be something I have to work hard at. Even slipping up for a few days can make me gain weight so really it’s all about constant vigilance. My trip to California for 3 weeks went great. I ate right and followed closely to my calorie goals. However my trip to Florida a couple weeks ago was not as successful since we went out to eat A LOT!! lol I am currently 4 pounds above my goal weight and I know I can get rid of it easy. It is just frustrating when it happens. BUT, I am so thankful that I have my supportive husband and family by my side to help me.
Evelyn continues to be a rock when I need her. Asking me if I have the calories left for the food I am eating. James as well. I would like to say Isaiah does the same thing but the fact is that he isn’t as observant of me. lol Nonetheless I am back to watching what I am taking in and suspect I will be back at my goal weight in 3-5 days. So that is a plus.
On a slight negative, I am really getting anxious for February to get here so I can go find a new doc and HOPEFULLY schedule a surgery to fix my left breast. I am sick of looking at it like this and just really want it to look like the other. (for info on what is wrong with it you can read this blog: http://ecm1980.blogspot.com/2015/04/vegasfebruary.html) And with the amount of money I have spent on these things I should expect them to be damn perfect! ugh. Anyway… it’s just annoying….it’s distracting…. especially during sexually intimate moments.
Speaking of sex…. I don’t know if I have ever mentioned this before… and this is STRICTLY my own opinion ( I know many people think the total opposite of me and that is fine too), but skinny sex is WAY better than heavy girl sex. Why have I never mentioned that before? Not sure. Guess it never popped into my head while I was typing one of these, but the fact remains that I feel so much better being intimate while slender than I EVER have while heavy. I feel confident, sexy, beautiful, desired (Not that James didn’t desire me before, he did.), flexible (Woohoo!!), and not disgusted to look/glance at myself during sex either. Like I said, I am only speaking for me… plenty of ladies and men have zero problem with being heavier and feeling confident and sexy. I simply didn’t. I can’t even tell you how many times I would cry and simply be down right sad because I couldn’t stand the look of myself, let alone want James to look at me. When I tell you that this surgery has helped me in more ways than I can count, I am telling you the 100% truth. My whole way of life has changed. Which is just one more reason why maintaining my weight, eating right, and staying hydrated is so important. I will never go back to that unhealthy lifestyle again.
So anyway…. that is where things stand right now, doing well… exercising 3 days a week still, and trying my best to overcome bad snacking habits. Because let’s face it, snacking is what does most of us in right? lol
