thechippybattle

It's been a while.  School is out and the kids and I have been busy enjoying our time off together. I have been up and down the island camping, and eating on schedule and eating right has proven to be a challenge.  The kiddies are entitled to their treats, and when the chippies are out I have to admit there is an inner battle and mindless lack of self control that I have to deal with.  I'm still loosing weight, but more slowly now.  I've caught myself sneaking a couple of chips when filling a bowl for the kids, and literally slapped my own hand for doing so.

How easy it is to make the wrong choices.  I know I'll be battling with that for the rest of my life.  But, thankfully there are some benifits to my sleeve.  Heartburn.  If I eat chips....I get heartburn...

Heartburn sucks.

Currently I'm only 19lbs from my goal of 160lbs.  I'm delighted with how this has all gone.  My body has changed drastically, however I don't feel a whole lot thinner, I seem to feel shorter (what's with that?) All said, I feel great physically.  What I wanted most from this surgery was to be able to move through life much easier, play with my kids with more energy, and live longer.
