Weight Update

Well my struggle with weight continues. I am now UP to 211-213 I weighed 192 when I got pregnant and have sufficiently gained almost all of the 24 lbs I lost to get Matthew.

Struggling to find time for me. Struggling to eat healthy on a tight budget. And struggling to not stress eat.

I am out of shape. Broke. And disheartened with myself.

We need to make a change. And I know this. But what the doctor told my husband today definitely makes it more real.

He has a consultation with a clinic in GR for gastric bypass.

He asked what his options were since all he has been doing is playing with a yo yo on the scale....and the doctor said he could go on weight loss pills @ 170 a month or go to the consultation and likely be recommended surgery.

This is because James's dad is 500+ lbs and needs new knees and has struggled with weight. He is not the typical lazy fat person you think of. He is always eating salads. Counting calories. And quite frankly with his weight, bad knees, and arthritis he gets around pretty well.

James getting the surgery would mean less likely to have diseases linked with obesity, not ruining his joints, and finally losing and keeping the weight off.

Part of me says if we are going to make the changes for post op....why not do it now? Then I bring home oreo Klondike bars and Wendy's. Oiy. Big changes ahead for the Hillard household.
