Hmmmm.....

Hi everyone



Well after the beautifulness (is that a word?!, I'm thinking not) of last week, this week is a tad more so/so. My weight has not shifted and I still don't have the 'ideal restriction' that I am after. I'm wondering if this 'ideal restriction' is an urban myth! Has anyone actually experienced this 'ideal restriction' that keeps getting thrown around?!?! I would like to know!

I know I also need to get my butt moving more and do some more exercise, but it would certainly help if I wasn't so hungry much of the time! At least I'm going back this Friday for another fill and I'm hoping .1ml will do the trick. Astounding to think that such a tiny amount can make all the difference. I'm also making sure I go every week or every second week at the most until I get this right. My fill doctor is an awesome chick so she doesn't mind if I'm there every day!

Jodie & I are also attending a session with the Dietitian from our Surgery Centre on Tuesday night which will be interesting. She says to bring along any food you have trouble with and she'll show you how to eat it. I'm wondering what would happen if I turned up with a massive, thick, porterhouse steak?!?!

Have a good week everyone!!

It's a Beautiful Day!!

Welcome to my first post! I’m starting on a VERY happy note because yesterday I weighed in and for the first time since 2005, I think, I’m actually not even really sure, I saw DOUBLE DIGITS!! I was ecstatic! I even had to take a photo and I can’t stop looking at it, I am very proud! Now I’ve lost 31.7kgs/70pds and am well and truly on the downhill slide. I am just over halfway, but I feel like I am finally starting to get somewhere.

I went overseas about 2 months ago and before I left I had quite a bit of fill taken out. When I came back, I headed straight back to my surgery centre the very next day because I didn’t want to be left to my own devices for too long! I had lost .7kg while away so was pretty happy about that, but was disappointed to learn that my fill Doctor wouldn’t put back all that she took out, they were only going to put a small bit back in. Geez, I was pissed off! I had been at really good restriction before I got it taken out, about 1kg a week, and it’s taken me all this time and I’m still not back at that same restriction. I’m hoping I’m there now, or will be with the next fill so hoping the weight loss will continue. That’s why I was so happy to see the double digits, they’ve been a long time coming!!
