Down, down, down…

Well, it has been a while since my last blog… probably because life just goes on and nothing too exciting has happened!

The weight is slowly, but consistently, coming off.  Unfortunately because a few people know I have had the surgery when they comment on how good I’m looking I never know if it’s for real or just to help keep me motivated… know what I mean??

The loss has slowed down now that I am eating ‘normal’ people food.  And since I haven’t yet had a ‘fill’ of the band the quantity I’m eating is increasing also.  I am of course mindful of this and try to be good, but it’s not always all that easy!  I did a really stupid thing and had roast meat for dinner one night (plus a day of small grazing) and I was in pain for a good 2 / 3 days!  That lesson has been well learnt!  also the lesson of not having really fizzy drinks aswell.  They do tell you to avoid them, but until you find out for yourself just exactly why, the reasoning just doesn’t sink in!  basically it hurts… really really hurts!!!  I ended up going back to my liquid meals and it seemed to fix it all up nicely… ahhh… good ol’ Optifast — where would I be without it!!!

Thursday can’t get here soon enough!! Off to see Harsha for a ‘fill up’… feel like I’m off to the petrol station of old days… “Yes ma’am… how can we help”… “oh, just fill her up please!”… hehehe… I have a very twisted sense of humour I think!

Even though I see the scales move, and am noticing clothes starting to fall off me – literally – it doesn’t always seem that I’m doing all that well.  We all know about my wedding ring slipping off… and how I wear my engagement ring to keep on… well, the other day I was picking up all the kids Lego and my engagement ring decided it was his turn to do slippage and ended up in the box!  Now picture this… having to sift through mountains of Lego to find my engagement ring… good ol’ wedding ring was wanting to follow aswell, but stopped him before he jumped in also!  So I guess it shows a bit that I’ve lost some weight!  and the fact that most of my winter clothes are hanging off me and I look like a potatoe sack too… can’t weight for the warmer weather!  Still got my fat butt though… wish that’d slip off! hehehe

Oh well… that’s about it for now – told you nothing too exciting has happened!!

Until next time Fatty…
