25 lbs down

right now i weigh 227.2 lbs, im at a full 25 down. im firmly and completely out of the 230's forever and ever. *phew*

i dont have that same insane happy feeling i did at 20 lbs down... maybe b/c it took me a really really long time to get here. meh, who cares how long it took, im here, that's whats important. it's my day off work, i napped on the couch for hours, and then watched oprah while eating a kimchee kimbop, then did 55 min walking on the treadmill while watching godzilla. man, that is one crappy movie.

Weight loss so far: 25.0 lbs
Biggest temptation: giving up.
My treat: letting go and going on.
My best discovery: banana AND mario

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.
