So sorry for the extremely long delay since my last entry! My computer crashed and was sent to the doctors for repairs. But I'm back. It's going to be a little hard to play catch up since my last entry but I will try.
Life....well life happens. Since my last entry I have moved house, minus a husband. Tough decision but it was my decision and I'm glad that I made it. Things will start to change a little around here as I try to juggle children, work, uni and life. I hope to incorporate more fitness with the children and therefore increase my fitness in the process.
Lap band hasn't changed. It's as if its the only stable part in my body some days. I haven't had a fill or any kind of adjustment since my last one and I think that I'm still at a good level right now. I still can't eat much during the day, actually some days I have issues remembering to eat. I know that its not healthy but with everything that has been going on and no hunger pains to remind me, its hard. I never thought that I would get to the day where I would have to mentally work out when I last ate compared to counting down the minutes until I ate again.
Lap band has changed my life in soooo many ways. I am now down to a size 14!! 14 can you believe it! Some are even getting loose. I gave away my clothes that were sizes 22-24 with the final realisation that I will not need them again. I have had enough confidence to take the step out the door that I had needed to do for sometime but stayed thinking that no one else would want me. I still haven't been able to process the extra glances that I sometimes receive, that is still a work in progress.
A funny story....I recently attended a birthday party with people that I have known for many years. A family member that I have not seen in about a year had to ask who I was because my face looked familiar but he couldn't pinpoint from where. That made my night.
**Update on weight loss - I am down 29kgs!! I have not been this light since I was born I think. At least probably 16 years ago. The last time I did my measurements, about a month ago, I had lost 154.5 cms off my body. Gone for good, forever!! That's nearly my height!
Until then....
Life goes on
