Below my LIW today. Woot! Love it!
Last night I organized my HCG notebook. The last few cycles (I've done six for those of you keeping track at home), I've stuffed my papers in a 3-ring binder. So, I finally got around to taking it all out, recycling the pages I didn't need, putting it all in order, having the paperwork ready for next time, and generally making it useful and organized.
I didn't study the outcomes too closely because what struck me was how many times I've been at this weight! I'd lose a bunch, have a surgery, gain a lot back. Rinse and repeat. It's not a happy story! But what is happy, I suppose, is I'm 60# lower than I was when I started. Yeah, there's been a lot of ups and downs, but I'm not giving up.
I loved the idea of getting it over all at once, but that was an epic fail. Losing 100# in one year was a bad, expensive, and stupid thing to do (I blame my doctors for that one!). My body freaked out and gained 70# back in six months, and believe me, I wasn't eating like a horse. My body just couldn't take it. My endocrinologist has verified that theory.
So now, we sneak up on it. Yeah, I'd like to get more done faster. But, like the hare learned in the tortoise and the hare story, slow and steady wins the race. I believe I'll get there. It's just taking awhile longer than I thought it would. And I'm still 60# down, right?
