Yesterday I was watching Oprah. It was one of those reunion shows where they bring people back that have been on before. Well over the last 20 years she has been following a woman who when they first met her in 1987 was 25 and weight over 500 pounds. I can't remember the woman's name, but over the course of the last 20 years she has struggled over and over again. She finally had gastric bypass and lost over 300 pounds. Since then she has written a book called Winning After Losing. Basically from what I could tell it is her story and the stories of others who have lost big amounts of weight and how they have been able to keep it off.
It is a struggle that is for sure! So I think I am going to buy the book just to see how other people have managed to maintain their weight loss. You know I am grateful to those who have been fit their entire lives and they want to help other people, but I think advice from someone who has walked the path I now walk is so much better. People who have been thin their entire lives have no clue how much of a battle everyday becomes when you use food as your drug of choice.
As for today I did alright but not my best. For some reason I have been craving sweets like crazy and fruit is not cutting it. I probably should have gone without the peanut butter and honey that I ate after dinner tonight but it did get rid of the sweet tooth. I also didn't do any exercise though I did steam clean my carpets and lugging the cleaner around made me break a sweat!
So tomorrow is another day. I can do this! I am going geocaching in the morning so that will give me some exercise!
