I can't remember the last time I was this "light." College maybe? Freshman year? It's funny how being that fat in college and weighing the same now being told I look great. Isn't it interesting? It's also interesting how great I feel at 215 now but how miserable I was then at the same weight. Is it age? It it cause I got so close to 300 that 215 feels skinny?
Whatever the answers, I'm feeling on top of the world. Financial woes aside (who doesn't), I have a lot going for me right now. I truly feel the encouragement from people around me and it's the most motivating. I know I've said it before but I truly mean it. I'm glad I did the surgery and I did it for the right reasons. To live. Everything else that has come with it is truly icing on the cake. Quick, someone remind me what icing on a cake tastes like!
I'm doing better with ensuring I eat. String cheese is a go to item for me, as are veggie crisps. I've also started generic protein bars now that I have a better tolerance for nuts and solids. Smarts ones has a lot of TV dinners that are high protein and low in calorie and also don't taste like freezer burn. That's a plus! We are told not to use straws but I've been getting green tea lemonade a lot from Starbucks and I simply need the damn straw. The thing is, when I drink a tall beverage with a straw I wind up consuming more liquids throughout the day which is good for me.
