Week 18

Just popping in to give my weekly update.  I have lost another 1kg this week!  That brings my total to 25.6kg lost and my weight to 77.5kg!

Been spending lots of time at the pool and beach with the kids and I really need to buy some new swimmers soon.  The tops are still ok but the bottoms are so loose and baggy - I am getting scared that I will loose them!  I don't fear going swimming anymore.... in fact I even braved the water slides with my little boy on Saturday.  It feels so great not to be just an onlooker in their lives.  I not longer sit on the sidelines - I don't care what people think of me - I love getting in and having fun with my children. 

One thing that I really do notice these days is how much people eat.  I was one of those people.  My plate piled high and never ever getting that feeling of being full.  I some times feel sad when I see them consuming all that food.  I know that lots of them must be unhappy and I almost feel like running over and telling them about my operation.

I eat small regular meals now. Mostly high in protein and low in carbs.  It amazes me how little our bodies need to survive.  I am full of energy, I'm not hungry and I eat all the yummy things I love.  This week I will give you some snap shots of what I eat each day and the types of things I can eat, so stay tuned.
