Ok, for those of you who know me this is an update, for those who don't an introduction,
I am 2 years and 1 month out. I hit goal at about 1 year and then got pregnant. My son is now 4 months old and I have about 7 pounds from my lowest weight. Since I am breast feeding, I know that some of it is in the boobs. By the way my pants fit I know some of it is also in my butt
. I am really not concerned.
I love the way I look and feel. The way that I eat now is very different from pre-op, but it feels normal now. My portions seem so big compared to when I was a new post op, but in reality I eat about half of what I did pre-op. I can tolerate small amounts of sugar 10-12 gms otherwise I dump. This keeps me from binging. I do occassionally have diet Dr. Pepper over ice, but it gives me gas and makes me uncomfortable, so again it keeps me from overindulging. I still dump on high carb (white flour) foods, so I stay away from them. Basically, I can eat what I want, but certain foods make me feel yucky so I leave them alone. Its not a diet, just a way of life.
I started back exercising in ernest since the baby. Before I was pregnant, I was running 4 miles three times a week. I have started running again and will work back up to where I was. I also started lifting weights because I feel that I have lost a lot of muscle in the last two years. Feeling kind of bony. I wish I had started a weight program during the weight loss phase so that I wouldn't have lost so much muscle mass, but I will get it back.
I take my vitamins, My health is awsome. No high blood pressure, diabetes, etc..etc..
This is the best thing I ever did and would recommend it highly. Thank you to Dr. C, Kelly and the whole Thinnertimes support Group (online and off).
