Total Pounds Lost
Speck Challenge Weigh In
Last week 200
This week 199
--------------
total loss 1 lb
I am thrilled...no more 2 in front of my weight...I hope...I pray...I will fight hard!
I will admit..I cried on the scale this morning...it felt weird..it felt like a lightness in my heart.
Its crazy that such a stupid thing as a scale and a number on it can make me so happy but it did.
I need to work on it not meaning so much to me. I am starting to believe that I need to be happy with me, really regardless of my weight. I need to be happy and healthy..that is going to take some work.
So update:
I went back and got an unfill yesterday morning..I didn't even leave the fill in for 24 hours because really, it hurt to drink. I could only sip a few sips until the pain in the chest started. I know that feeling..crap I have been overfilled now 3 times. So I knew what it felt like and I knew it would only get worse. He took out .4 of my .5 fill..so I am now at 4.4 and that is really what I wanted to be at when I went in for the fill...just a top off to get me back where I was in October. I feel great. That restriction is where I like to be. And for any newbies...the restriction level a person has and likes is different for everyone. How tight I like to be may not work for someone else and vice-versa.
I loved all your comments on my nutritionists advice. I should have mentioned, take it with a grain of salt because I did. I liked hearing a different point of view but I also know what worked for me in October was less carbs and I am not about to bring them back in to the extent she wanted. I will however take notice of my snacking and try to improve on it with more protein. I was kind of getting away from lunch meat because I noticed the sodium count was so high for me. I am going to try less lunch meat and more meat period but watch the sodium and try to get reduced sodium or different meat choices. I will also try to watch my sugar spikes and see if I notice hunger pains shortly after something with sugar in them. I think I will go look at some fiber gummies too. So there were a few things I picked up from her I do want to try.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving...not sure if I will post again until Monday..I get a little lazy getting on the computer when I am at home.

And glad you went with your gut on the fill.
Happy Thanksgiving. Love you my friend.

Wowza!!! Congratulations. I got a fill too yesterday... I think I'm good right below 5cc too. I'm desperately scared of an overfill. I never wanted to be uncomfortable or restricted to that point either.
Have a good holiday
Congratulations! That's a very, very significant PIZM (psychologically important zero mark). It's really a double PIZM!
When I was in therapy last year, I commented on the zero marks being important even if it is only a 1-lb. difference, and my therapist acted like she didn't know what I meant. I said, "Doesn't everybody feel that way?" And she wouldn't answer. So annoying.
I don't think it's crazy to celebrate PIZMs as milestones, but I think you're smart to understand that they're tied in with other issues of self-care and self-esteem.
YAHOOOOOOO for YOOOOOOOU!

Congratulations!!! I'm sure that gave you something to be thankful for. Glad you got your unfill. I'd be a little peeved at the doc since you told him from the get-go that the fill was too much but I digress..
Sorry Im so late here but I have been thinking about you and Onederland and I just had to check in. You hit Onederland on my baby's birthday so it will forever be set in my brain.
