GOODBYE 50!

I'm doing the happy dance this week!
Today is officially my 2 month post-op anniversary -- 3/12/11
and I have lost a total of -50.6 pounds since the start of this process.

FIFTY. Dang.

Mom asked me last night if I could tell that I'd lost that much. Not really. My clothes don't fit now, but like many WLS people... it's as if my brain hasn't caught up to what my body is doing.

My energy is great now! I noticed it had fully come back and exploded about 2-3 weeks ago.

As with the last post, I think it will be a continual battle with head hunger and emotional eating just because it's such a habit. Thankfully, I don't have too many cravings right now but I know that this is primarily due to the fact that I am not eating foods that promote cravings like rice, bread, pasta, simple carbs. My goal is to eat these in extreme moderation now that I'm post-op. It comes down to the fact that I can't eat the same things I did before and expect to get to my healthy goal weight and stay there.

So for now... CHEERS! Farewell to 50 pounds! Before & present pics coming soon ;o)
