Fatramics!

Apparently my family hasn't seen enough progress from me lately and have decided to lecture me on other alternatives to my weight loss. One of them being...lap band procedure. Are you f-in kidding me? I am absolutely livid about this!

I have worked so hard the past few months to get back on track and for them to not see that and not recognize what I do every day to lose this baggage is insulting and hurtful. The subject is not up for discussion. I will not let their judgement stand in my way. I have had to fight demon after demon from a lifetime of negative comments and constant criticism from my father over my weight. And I have FINALLY, after many many many years, gotten to the point where I can splurge and not feel guilty. That is HUGE for me. This is coming from a girl who struggled with throwing up when I thought I ate too much just a little over a year ago.

I refuse to do this any other way than MY way! This is my journey and as far as I'm concerned, if you're not going to help me along my journey, keep your damn comments to yourself! I've lost 80 pounds on my own. I know how to do this. I will do this. But it will be on MY terms!!

Hungry!!

Hungry has hit me with a bang! I seem to be constantly hungry with nothing really lasting more than 2-3 hours. I often wake up around 3am with hungry pains. What does this mean? Lots of planning!

I am having to bring in lots of protein packed, low fat foods to sustain me for the day. The biggest challenge is making sure I am satiated before working out after work.

This is a lot of work, annoying, frustrating, expensive etc. But I know it's what I need to feed my lack luster metabolism and stay in burn mode instead of store mode.

Oh, Hungry....

Over The Hump

I did it! I'm finally over the hump of gaining weight due to increases muscle and losing inches, but no pounds to...LOSING POUNDS!! I've lost 2 pounds in a week! I hope I can keep up this momentum. I feel great and see a big difference. Now, off to the gym!
