Hello everyone! First, I'd like to apologize for not posting recently. My dissertation has me utterly frustrated and ridiculously tired. Second, GOOD NEWS!!!! I have officially crossed over to the 170's!!!! WOW!! I can't believe it myself! Last, time I was in the 170's I was 12 years old and it was after 4 months of an incredibly rigorous diet which started with me at 193 pounds. This time, however, 4 months ago, I started at a hairpin away from 240 pounds and now i'm 179 pounds!
I am officially a size 12 again !!!!
For the first time in my life it feels fantastic to actually get on a scale and weigh myself!
My body is looking great! Despite the fact that I have always been chubby, I have always had curves. Some might say my body is somewhat of a pear shape or maybe an hourglass (it depends on which who you ask and how they feel about the size of my bosom). My body has never lacked curves in the right places, thank God! The gym is a regular thing for me, and now I am going to start drinking collagen supplements at night before going to bed so my body can absorb it more effectively (my cosmetologist recommended it).
Collagen will make sure my skin will regenerate and get back where its supposed to go!
When it comes to my diet, I still eat very little. About 6 oz of food, maybe 8 if I eat incredibly slow taking breaks in between. But i still like to take in my nutrients in pure form. to be more precise i can only eat half of a banana. A lot of doctors suggest, for patients like me, to eat baby food without preservatives. Believe it or not it works. It satisfies you completely. However, my bariatric nutritionist, said i should make them myself. Take the fruit and blend them until it becomes baby food, and trust me, it tastes even better!
I am eating more whole foods now but still no rice, bread or pasta and very little potatoes, with the exception of sweet potatoes because of the difference in the high glycemic index. Sweet potatoes are healthier than regular potatoes. NO RED MEAT! Just poultry and pork. Eventually you will be able to eat red meat, but for now hold off until you can handle it a bit more.
