OK

So maybe I am just feeling sorry for myself and having some of the "honeymoon is over" feelings towards my band. 

My surgery was 5 months ago and I have only lost 26.8 pounds, a lot of people have lost that in the first month!!  I really need to focus on the fact that I have lost just under 27 pounds regardless of what other people do.  I ran the marathon relay with my friends in miserable weather and we came in under 7 hours and I did my first 5K in years and came in at 45:26.  I should have been pleased with the time but I was just kind of defeated that I never seem to get faster. 

I need to just get over myself.

  1. You should be proud of your accomplishments! Everyone looses differently ~ you can't compare yourself to others. Keep marching on and just think you are almost 30 pounds lighter ~ how great!

  2. I might have lost almost as much as you in my first month... but I cant run a 5K or a marathon... so be happy about what you have acheived.

  3. Could you run a 5K before? I can't. I know it is tough, but all of our bodies are different. Just keep doing what you need to do and you will get the weight off.
    Thirty pounds is still a lot and you should celebrate that.

  4. Down is better than up. I say that to myself each and every time I get on the scale. Down is better than up. Repeat.
