So I had my doctors appointment March 3rd and I had the chance to be weighed again. I was so nervous stepping on that scale. I thought, what if I didn't lose anything? What if I gained weight? But sure enough I have lost 28 pounds!!!! That's right I have LOST 28 pounds!! I am in shock! I can't believe it. I am so happy that my hard work has been paying off. I went from my highest weight of 604 lbs down to now 576 lbs. I am more determined than ever to keep on this track. I am aiming to lose 100 lbs at least before I have weight loss surgery. I am currently following a low carb diet trying to limit myself to no more than 100g of carbs a day. I was going to try for 50g, but right now because I am limiting a lot of other aspects of my diet I have decided to get used to eating around 100g of carbs before I cut back to 50g. I am not eating ANY pasta, potatoes, brown rice or bread. I am making sure that I eat enough protein and veggies. I am right now walking around my apartment still until spring when I can start walking up and down the road to get some exercise.
I am beyond proud of myself for sticking to this. It has been about 40 days since I have started tracking my food and what I have been eating. I am committed to this process and it is a lifestyle change. I feel a lot better than I have felt in a long time.
Stay tuned for more updates!
