This Trooper is a little happier with the scales..

So today was weigh day. I have been a little upset because I have only been losing 2lbs a week. I have been a little on the discouraged side but not enough to cheat. So I am happy to say that I lost 4.4 lbs this week. I am even closer to losing the 100 lbs I need to lose before surgery. I need to quit saying a 100 lbs because now, I only have to lost 53lbs. It is hard to believe that I only started on this journey the 15th of May. In the past I have always struggled with sticking to a diet. While it has not been completly easy. I have had more success this go around. I think its because of you guys and because my eye is on the prize. You know..

I am very nervous about the end of this week though. My family and I will be leaving for Branson on Wednesday and we will be staying through Monday. I have been on the diet through a major holiday but not through a vacation. I know there will be plenty of opportunites for me to slip up.

I made a mini goal this summer and I don't think that I will accomplish it. I wanted to be down to the next weight level and I am 19lbs away. 19 stinking lbs stands in the way of me making my silly goal. Ugh. O'well. I will just have to reset my goal.

On May 15th my first visit w/ Dr. Walton. He told me that in order to have surgery I would have to lose 100 lbs. Let me tell you, It sucks to hear your Doctor say, Girl - Your to fat for fat surgery. Okay, Okay, He didn't exactly say it that way. He has impecable bedside manner but thats beside the point. Uh, back to me. So I was saying. On May 15th I started the journey toward weight loss surgery. Since that day I have lost 43lbs. I know that is a good number and I know that is rather quickly.. I also know I really have no reason to complain but for the last two weeks I have just lost 2lbs each time. I know there comes a time when your weight loss slows down... but already. Ack. I have so much to lose I would think it would slow down a little further down the road. My plan is to have the surgery on Christmas Break (I am a teacher) but if I continue to lost only 2lbs a week that will only ammount to 86lbs therefore not reaching my weight loss requirement. I am following the AGGRESSIVE WEIGHT LOSS PLAN to a tee. I am up to my eye balls in protien. I basically chase food all day. It just sucks to be doing the same thing I was doing and not losing the same ammount of weight!!
