Downsizing again

Well I have been fortunate in my weight loss journey.

Last year I got a bit stuck and then my gall bladder nearly killed me and I lost more weight.
I then had my gall bladder out and lost a bit more.
Reid told me he didn't want to be married any more and I finally broke the 60kg stumbling block.
I am relying on all my supplements and medication at the moment as well as counselling.

Green veggies..yum

When I am home alone I can eat what I like.
Tonight I had mixed asian greens poached in chicken stock and white wine with a bit of grated cheese and coriander added at the end combined with a lightly beaten egg.  It probaby sounds gross but I really enjoyed it.

I am having a glass or two of chardy as well.  :-)

Looking back and now looking forward

Look back at my photo the Saturday before I had my surgery.

I knew I was morbidly obese but I still thought I looked alright at the wedding even though I was on my pre - op diet and nearly ready for surgery.

I think I suffered from reverse anorexia: I always looked good in the mirror!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, finally I see some flaws but not many (bodywise), I will never be happy with the face.

When my BMI is in the healthy weight range I would like to have some photos taken but unless I am earning money they will be taken by my children.  I have very little to lose to get there but it just isn't happening soon enough.

I can go back to exercising very soon because my recoverey from surgery is about complete.  I will start with light cardio this week.  Next week I will attend my mix and match class and if I feel o.k after that I will go back to the gym.

Keep your finger crossed.

Infection

Well now I know why I was so sore.
My wound was infected and my skin is sensitive to the sticky dressings.  OUCH!!!!!!!!

Two different antibiotics and two visits to my GP later and it's nearly o.k.

On Friday I will go to the surgeon and let him check it all out.

It's not quite right so we'll see.

I've lost another kilo or two but can't quite get to 60kg.  I have been so close but I haven't hit it yet.  Soon, very soon.
