Wednesday, June 2nd

I am at 51 lbs now. I actually ate a whole cheeseburger last night, ketchup, mustard and mayo, pickles, no bun, and I had about 6 Pringles. I can't believe the energy that I have, I am beginning to feel like the Engergizer Bunny. I think it's due more to the fact that I'm not eating any sugar and very few carbs than the weight loss. It's a good thing! Yesterday, I looked in the mirror and really noticed a difference. I don't quite understand how the body works like that; that I've only lost 4 lbs in the last week, but all of a sudden yesterday, it was like I could all of sudden "see it". Maybe everything is settling. I'm just feeling so blessed and thankful that I finally had the courage to have the surgery. I still look at soft drinks and think "ohhhh....I would just love to have that", but I know it certainly would not be worth the suffering, so it's pretty easy to resist. Just two more days till Brock's graduation and party, YES!!! We have our party here on Friday with Marissa, and then Saturday night we have a party with Lauren and Matthew for my family. After that we are leaving for Florida for vacation, and I can't wait! I so need a vacation.
