Today my weight still shows that 3 pound gain. I'll just accept it. I think it is hormone time again and whether the math adds up or not, my body holds on to fluid for no apparent reason during that. But, I am wearing my first ever size large shirt today, so I'll take it. I know I'm on the right track and I'm so far from where I was a year ago this time. I can't believe I am wearing this shirt. I actually bought a size large on accident. This is the first time I've worn the shirt. I went to put it on and saw it was a large. I thought, what the heck, I'll try it. I did and it fits. It matches my new shoes and I really like it. It's nothing special,but it's a size large!!
This morning I had a breakfast sandwich and banana with my water and coffee. I had 4 almonds for lunch w/ 8 oz of coke. Not healthy at all, but I was really nauseated with this headache. I tried to drink water and felt like I was gonna lose it, so I gave up and tried the coke. I counted the calories and I think it helped a little anyway. Exercise is on the agenda for this evening and we're making our own pizzas for dinner. I'll be having very thin crust and veggies with very little cheese. And water, of course. That is assuming my nausea lets up.
I've been reading a lot of posts about year end wrap ups and goals for the next year and I'll get to mine sometime. But, I need some time to really think about it.. I know every year for as long as I can remember my resolution was to lose weight and exercise. While that is on the agenda for the next year, I'm not making it a resolution. It is just going to be business as usual for me. So I'll do some soul searching and think about my next goals and what I want out of the next year.
All I know is I've come a long way.

Congratulations on your persistent success, tenacity and candor. You're a great role model for health seekers. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! You are an inspiration to me!! I have to tell you, you will be an inspiration to your patients!! I used to go to a doctor who kept telling me to lose weight. This doctor must have weighed over 350 pounds. One time she visited me in the hospital, and once she reached my room, it took her a couple of minutes for her to catch her breath - she was so out of shape. It was so sad!!! We spent many visits talking and crying about out weight. I thought, with all her knowledge, if she can't help me or herself, then there is no hope! You will bring hope to your patients and everyone you know. Congrats and keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeleteStay focused!!
That shirt IS special because it's a size large - nice, very very nice! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you have come a long way in a year's time! You look so much younger and just fit and beautiful. Congratulations!
P.S. That is one gigantor of a tree!

ReplyDeleteYou're beautiful! All that in just a year -- What an inspiration. That's such a lovely gift to yourself, as well as your family, friends, readers, and patients. You're proving that this is something we can all do.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Firstly - you look fabulous! Great work Doc! Keep it up in 2011 - it's gonna be a great year ...
ReplyDeleteSecondly - I hope you're feeling really soon ... headaches and nausea or never good ...
Thirdly - Happy New Year! I for one am so glad 2010 is over ... on to bigger (or is that smaller LOL things.
Just an awesome year, it has been a pleasure to follow on, looking forward to more of the same in 2011 - Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou look so much brighter and vibrant (and slimmer, of course) in the newer pic. Happy New Year Doc and here's to us both achieving goal-weight before the next new year comes around.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those before and after pictures!! Wahoo for you!! Yes, you have come a long weigh (I mean way) in the last month. Ya know, we (I include myself in this category) used to throw the towel in when I would gain weight for TOM or whatever. But, like you, no more. It is a new patience that has emerged with me and you on this LAST journey. It's the last!!
ReplyDeleteI am a recovering horrible migraine sufferer. They are way less now, but I woke up this morning with that feeling in my head and right away that wobble in my stomach. Usually a sign that the colossal M is on the way. Somehow I did everything right and beat it (water, eat something small and take my meds as soon as possible). It really helped me to see a neurologist, might be something to consider, Doc. They are awful. At least, in your case, you understand what your own patients are dealing with with their own headaches.
Best wishes to you for a great New Year! Michele
You are really rocking out. May 2011 be filled with great new things. Thanks for your support this past year!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Missa
