Hey bariatric family! Thursday I had an ablation for my unrelenting period issue, so I decided to take a few days to be not as concerned about my eating. I didn’t ignore everything, but I certainly took liberties which I hadn’t thus far. I ate more sweets, got a little over stuffed, but I made sure I got my protein and liquid in daily. I got on the scale this morning and like most days when I weigh in:190.2, which is perfect. I won’t use that as an excuse to splurge a little more frequently because I know how slippery that slope can be. I am using it as a reminder that I don’t need to be scared of the scale or foods, and that I’m allowed to give myself grace and time “off” of sorts. I hope y’all are doing well, and remember that this is a transformation of the mind as much as the body.

I sure hope your procedure is as successful as mine was. It was life-changing! Good to see that you have such a positive outlook on your relaxing of your hard work for a little bit.

Guess I’m not as done losing as I thought. I wanted to wait a few days before posting anything since weight can fluctuate a bit, but my scales been moving down again. I’m now at 185.6. I think the adjustment to my thyroid medication finally kicked in, takes about 6 weeks, and I hadn’t considered that. I haven’t been eating much different than normal, so I know it’s not my eating that’s causing the loss. Well, it is and isn’t if you know what I mean LOL If I lost 5 more pounds that would be the lowest end of the range that I gave my weight loss team when I set my goal. That would also put me at my high school weight, when I thought I was super fat-am I the only one who wants to go back and pop my past self in the back of the head?

I saw a funny meme a few years ago and it still makes me laugh when I think about it, it said something like " I wish I was as fat as I was when I used to think I was fat" lol
