10 lbs Down

oops, i forgot to do my little 10 pound sum up! so i'll do it now. reflecting on this month; well actually, reflecting since 11/19 when i started, it's really emotionally fulfilling to know i have lost 10 lbs. During, it felt like it was taking forever. now it doesnt seem so. i feel really good know that it's 10 real pounds, not water weight from fasting; and i that i did it with using proper nutrition. i am now, of course, nervous that this will be it & i'll not do another 10 pounds. but i will. that's just nerves.

Weight loss so far: 10 lbs

Biggest temptation: pan de sal. my parents buy
a fresh baked bag every sunday. *sigh*

My treat: little croissant sandwiches after a kwanzaa mixer.

My best discovery: the grocery store now has cherries! :)

My Weight Loss Attempts:

*in 2001, i did optifast and optitrim via Kaiser. I lost 68 lbs, and gained bk 85. i think it's a good program, but you really have to focus on ALL of the program, not just the fasting. i ignored my mental and emotional health, and thus gained every pound back and then some.

*in 2oo3, i did nutrisystem, i think i lasted two days. the food was AWFUL. i heard they've re-vamped their program, tho, so i don't knock it. let me know if it works for you.

*ive made monthly donations to my local gyms over the years-24hour fitness, curves, the women's gym, the arc. i gave them my money, why wasnt i losing any weight? ;)

*in 2005, i did slim fast, trying to use it the same as optitrim. i lasted 10 days, lost 3 lbs, but i couldnt handle the "replace a meal with a liquid" thing anymore and gave up.

*in Nov 2006 i started at 251.8 pounds doing jenny craig b/c those kirstie alley commercials were just too inspiring. i lost about 10 lbs and liked most of their food. i continued with it until feb 2007 when i left for south korea.

*from 2009 to 2016 i disappeared from blog world and didnt make any real efforts about weight loss...

*in april of 2017, i returned to blogging and i started following the impatient dieter on youtube and using the wonderslim products from dietdirect.com to lose more weight.

the point to listing all my weight loss attempts?

DON'T STOP TRYING. I havent lost much weight, but i've lost some... and I won't lose more if i give up.

And fast forward to today, 4/5/2021. I had gastric sleeve surgery on 1/22/2018 and went from a "day of surgery" weight of 262 lbs to today weighing 139 lbs. I feel friggin fantastic; I feel like myself, only lighter and freer. Feeling very grateful for my doctor and the universe aligning so that I could get this surgery.
