Slow and Steady

WORTH IT
I have been really working on my diet. I'm getting better day by day. I have been losing little by little. It seems soooo slow, but this is the first time in my life I have been able to confidently lose weight and change my mindset around food.
I'm 152.3 pounds.
I was also able to fit into a smaller pant size for the first time. Some of my shirts are starting to look like tents. 12.3 pounds to go until I am no longer considered overweight. I am optimistic that I can meet that goal.

Old Habits Die Hard
nightpuppyJanuary 16, 2016
I'm 160.4.
I have been struggling to lose more weight. I have been emphasizing protein and trying to eat slowly. Even with the help of the sleeve, old habits are very hard to break. I still eat too fast, and I can eat a lot more now than I could right after surgery. I am trying not to graze, but I still crave a lot of snacks even when I am not hungry. I know this is a mental thing I need to break.
I really need to start exercising more. I have never really been motivated to do stenuous exercise, but I think it is time.
This change is hard, but I'm glad of the weight I have lost so far. 20 more pounds and I am not overweight.

Almost 25 pounds down.
nightpuppyJanuary 5, 2016
It's been just over a month and I am 25 pounds down. I have saved a lot on groceries and I feel pretty good. I wish my weight loss was faster, but I will just keep working at it day by day.
I am 161. I am so close to the '50s. My lowest weight in my adult life was 148, so it will definitely be a game changer when I break that.
I went to a party on NYE and my suit was loose. I bought it pretty small, but it needs to be taken in now. Some of my other clothes are loose, but still wearable.
I have lost weight in my shoulders, back, and legs, so the waists on my pants still fit. Very weird.
I feel light walking around, as if I am floating.
