Plateau

I have got to a point that my body has become accustomed to the amount of restriction in my band. It is time to switch it up and get an adjustment. Next week, I already have my appointment.

But the reason that this becomes blog worthy is that I have been busting my ass to lose weight. I play tennis at least three times a week, usually more. I got to the gym 2 to 3 times a week. I do an at-home weight loss video nearly everyday. I bike, I walk, I am so so active. I eat healthy. Fresh fruits, veggies, grilled fish. Organic, whole grain, non-fat, all the things I am supposed to do. All the things that skinny people will tell you are all you have to do to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. Well I don't believe them, still.

I did this before my surgery. Once in awhile I would lose a few pounds but those pounds usually came back and most of the time they brought friends. I couldn't do it on my own. I'm a young woman, I didn't want to admit that I felt like I had no control over my weight. When I admitted that I needed the assistance of weight-loss surgery I felt like I was admitting defeat. But now that my band is loose and I don't have much help, well I remember why I admitted defeat. I can't do this on my own. I can work hard, play hard, and eat healthy and my body will cling to every calorie. Only with the help of the band can I be successful in losing more weight. Thursday morning I get my adjustment, Thursday morning I get my help.
