4 Pounds Down --- 12 To Go!

SO...the last time I weighed myself it was at night, when you aren't supposed to weigh yourself since you have eaten all day, and I saw the number that was unacceptable. 171 pounds. HELL NO!!!! So... on the exercise/calorie watching bandwagon I went. Weight loss surgery is a great tool, but it's hard work and I had been slacking off for too long. So that was about 12 days ago and last night I weighed myself again, yep, at night to keep with the trend, and I was at 167. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heading in the right direction. Back on the treadmill today, walking and trying to run a bit too. Counting calories, fat, and protein as I am supposed to. Of course I got on this same bandwagon in April, (as is obvious by a couple blog posts prior) and I am hopeful that this time I will maintain my motivation and over all determination. Anything worth having, like your health, is worth working hard for. And I certainly can't let all these surgeries go to waste right? lol P.S. If you are a regular reader of my blog this kind of post is familiar. I go through stages of doing great and maintaining the weight I like, and then struggling. It's an on going issue when you have a food problem. Mentally it is a HUGE struggle and I wish there was a pill I could simply take that made me only want to eat when actually hungry. Thank you to all of those who have supported me and lifted me when they see me about to snack and call me out on it. It always helps and is always appreciated. My goal of 155 pounds is getting closer!
