I have no idea why I felt the way I felt yesterday... All is good, Life is beautiful.. As soon as I left the office and headed to the beach everything was fine. I had a good time with my friends and enjoyed the beach very much. I guess I needed a change of surroundings and to just enjoy myself without thinking about work, weight loss, my scale or any obligations.
My friends were a little pushy with the food, did not want to accept that I only ate a soup and declined cake and ice cream. So I said that I had some dental work done in the morning and that my teeth were extremely sensitive. I hate lying... I really do... but it is imperative that nobody knows about my surgery. For the long term I will have to come up with an excuse that will be believable and will satisfy the curious minds.
When I woke up this morning I spoiled my husband with a very nice breakfast in the backyard. I could only eat some greek style yoghurt with strawberries because my band is really tight in the morning and I am not a big eater in the morning anyway.
Have not had any real solid foods yet, but will make a solid food dinner and hope that it will satisfy my urge to chew something. Until then I will clean the house, turn on some I-love-my-life-music and if I am up to it I will rearrange my herb garden.
And from now on I will not get depressed over the scale, I will look at the positive things and those are: I have lost 17.5 lbs, that will never come back, I said my final good-byes to the 280s and know that it is just a matter of time to say good-bye to the 270s. My face is getting slimmer, my upper body is shrinking and so are my feet. I am also happy that I did not eat ice cream or cake and that it did not bother me at all that others were eating it.
In addition I removed the weight loss chart that hung above my scale until this morning and replaced it with the following:
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Thank you very much for your support and your positive words and just being there :-x
Glad to see that your back on the happy track :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when your feet get smaller? I can't wait for that. Thanks for being an inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI had a difficult time with Mr.Scale this morning also. Did you do your measurements at the beginnning? I didn't but more and more I think that I am going to do it. It's another way for us to get positive feedback on our progress, especially when Mr.Scale sticks his tongue at us :)
ReplyDeleteNo, Unfortunately I did not take measurements before surgery. I took them for the first time two weeks post-surgery and found it very difficult to take measurements. Yesterday I bought a special body measurement tape from Amazon and will definitely keep track on the inches I have lost and hopefully will lose.
ReplyDeleteI have a love/hate relationship with my scale but who does not? ;-)
