OK well it is 7:30am so let's get down to business! I weighed myself today and I am DOWN 4.8 pounds (2.18 Kilos) this week! That is a total of 31.6 pounds(14.33 kilos) in 8 weeks! I have one hypothesis for this AMAZING loss from my last weigh in which was less than one week ago! The doctor's have told me how important it is for me to get both my protein and water in daily and Frank and I have just discovered a new eating establishment. The Muscle Maker Grill (www.musclemakergrill.com) is a take-out place started by body builders! Every entree is super high protein and low carb and I must say the food is DELICIOUS! I highly recommend it! So That could be the reason as we ate there 3 times this week, which was 6 total meals for me because I can no longer eat a full size portion! My clothes are falling off of me but I am holding off on purchasing clothes for as long as possible. My entire life has changed, I cannot even describe how much my relationship with food is different since surgery. I realize now how unhealthy my outlook on food has been all these years. I can now say that NO ONE will ever be able to tell me that having this surgery was not the best decision for my life...
My mom is not doing very well, she was rushed back to the emergency room yesterday with some kind of infection. She is so weak, it literally breaks my heart each time I am in her presence. I am leaning on the Lord to the best of my ability, but I have to be honest..I am ANGRY...Don't get me wrong, I love the Lord and I KNOW that He is in control, but if anyone has read the Psalms, David was pretty pissed at God too!!! She is too young and it is not fair that she might miss out on so many of my future milestones...We are hoping that this specialist we were planning on taking her to will still see her considering her weakened state...Pray for her, and my whole family...I do know one thing, my mom would love nothing more than me regaining my life back and now more than ever, I am dedicating this journey to my mom...Thanks for reading...

ReplyDeleteChanging how food is viewed is so difficult for many people, you are not alone. You are doing a great job and I am very happy for you!
My heart is with you, please know you are not alone as you walk this journey with your mom, too.
A few years ago I told you the only way to break the stronghold of the obsession with food is to FAST. I did it. I realized I when I used to go on diets, all I thought about was what I was going to eat next. I was obsessed. I was always on the "see-food diet" if I saw food, I HAD to have it! It is LUST-driving, obsessive compulsion that takes over your whole mind, body and soul, and it needs to be broken. When I fasted...it broke the stronghold over me. I remember I told you that you should fast (at Cathy's house) and you said "Well, I'm not ready for that yet". Well, I think the surgery sort of did that for you. You are READY, you can do it. Keep going, and see it as a spiritual journey, fasting, and use it as an opportunity to crucify your flesh, and get closer to God. Keep on pressing on girl. You can do it! You're doing great! Also, XXXOOO love and kisses to Bibi.
