So I've been trying to stay off the scale, because sometimes it triggers binge eating and that's never good. But Monday morning I decided to pull it out and weigh myself because with the loss of some of my pants I needed to know where I was hovering. The magic number was 417lbs.
Let me explain why this was exciting for me. In 2008, I tried to go through the process for gastric bypass surgery and was actually approved (and thank goodness I didn't have the surgery, knowing what I do now about myself). At the start of that attempt I was 416lbs so I'm really excited about getting down to the weight I was two years ago in such a short amount of time.
One of the things I feared about weight loss is how long it would take for the weight to come off. It took a long time for me to get heavy, but the weight actually comes off much more quickly than it does to put on I'm finding. I like this. As long as I continue my healthy eating, my exercise (slacking recently, post for another day) and going to my therapy sessions for my binge eating I know that I can be successful. The longer I do this, the easier it is to be positive about it.
Looking forward to my next therapy session, I have so many positive things to share with my therapist.
