Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 199.9 lbs.

Can I be any closer to the line than this, weight wise?! I actually find it rather funny somehow. I’d love to have gone down a little more to more safely be away from the two’s, but it is just like me to have gone up to such a number as I have, to tease and torment me. Although I am not surprised, as I did eat late and more than usual yesterday while out with Tom and friends prior to the evening play that we went to. I was famished by the time we got there, and ate perhaps half of my souvlaki plate…and had a sample fried shrimp while shopping at Sam’s Club beforehand. I was so hungry in the store and they had samples all over the place, that my will weakened and I succumbed to a tasty shrimp appetizer, and damn near bought the whole box on the spot it was so tasty. Obviously I have not yet licked old demons, and need to be ever vigilant about things, especially if I allow myself to get too hungry.

So the moral of today’s blog is the sobering reality that I will never truly be “out of the woods”, and that despite reaching a new goal, this will be just a temporary victory, if I don’t forever more remember to mind my P’s and q”s and f’s and z’s. And c” for carbs.

And “crap!”

In non food news, my boss and friend Kevin was nice enough to come over while we were briefly home midday yesterday, and help us to install our new computer. Which I am typing away on now. Cool!  It has a 20″ monitor so I can actually see what I am doing, blind as I am. I may come to enjoy blogging even more than usual from now on!

In other news that I forgot to mention yesterday when overjoyed about my weight loss - I did follow up with my bariatric center to see if I was supposed to have an appointment to coincide with my upcoming year anniversary, and was told “no”. I guess that because my last appointment was in January, that I am not due again until June or July, and they will notify me exactly of when with a postcard when it nears this date. I asked about bloodwork as I have had none post op., and she said that this could wait. Now I am no fan of needles, which is actually an understatement - but I did think that we should have some read on how I am doing in such ways, before my 14th or 15th month. Shouldn’t we?

Oh well, I do feel fine again and am not really worried or anything, but am curious about how I am doing vitamin and mineral and cholestrol etc. wise. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

As for now, I will continue to live as healthily as I can, so that when June or July does come around, it’ll hopefully show both on the outside and on the inside!
