Still Struggling.....But It's Okay

Yes, it's two weeks since the holiday's ended, but I am still struggling to get back on track. I did manage to get one more pound off this week, so I just have three of my five pounds I gained over the holidays to lose now. I have walked everyday this week and I'm slowly, but surely getting closer to getting back on track. Proof yet again that they did not fix my head!

I remember talking to people who had been through gastric bypass prior to my surgery and they told me they had no desire for chocolate or sugar. So when I had my surgery I was sure that I would lose my desire for all the foods (mostly sweets) I love and crave. It did in the early days; I couldn't stand the thought of sugar, what I didn't realize, and what nobody told me was that eventually those things would come back to haunt me.

The winter is definitely proving to be difficult for me again as well. I am so bored sitting at the house when I come home from work and there is absolutely nothing on TV these days. So I sit there in the evenings and want to eat. With all the energy I have you would think I would get some much needed work on the house done, but instead I sit at my computer and play games most of the night trying to keep food off my mind. Definitely looking forward to Spring!
