Hi there…

See I told you I would start posting on a regular basis!

I went to the hairdresser today. Paul (the best hair dresser in the world - 96 degrees in the Sun) decided that if i have lost a few kilos i should lose a few inches…

So I got a fringe and RockStar bangs. And I look f*cking hot~!

Haven’t checked my weight.. don’t have to, every look i recieve from tradesmen is enough.

MWAH

Well I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. I haven’t seen my hairdresser in three months. So lets see how he reacts.

BIGGER NEWS: I went to Kmart yesterday to buy some pants (yes all of mine fall down) and I went to the NORMAL GILRS department… AND I Purchased a pair of size 16 JEANS… as mentioned before, jeans are a true test!

AND I went to the doctors and weighed myself.

FREAKIN’ A!

Current Weight: 111 kgs
Goal Weight: 72 kgs
Only 39 kgs to go…

I know it’s has been two weeks since I have posted and I promise that after the next week you will be seeing updates everyday.

But I have spent the last two weeks, eating the right foods… OK OK OK I have had some fun size packets of chips. And some chocolate. But moderation is the key.

I mean the thing I am starting to realise that the LapBand™ has helped me lose weight and will continue helping me lose weight. But if I don’t eat the right foods and exercise I will just be thinner and unhealthy. The boast you feel from 3 vegetables is more than an energy drink. It lasts longer. And it does good.

I am really into roast beef at the moment. It’s tender enough for me to get down. The accompanying gravy wasn’t great for me but a treat isn’t the end of the world…right?

I have been taking dog on a walk almost everyday. Which has been great. He has been ultra happy and I have realised that if I take the pressure off exercising it’s really quite fun.

Ok so I have a deadline for my thesis (oh yes I am doing my Masters) this week so I need to work on that for a bit.

WEIGHT UPDATE NEXT WEEK!!! Lets see how far healthy eating and exercise gets me?

So I went to doctors today.

How on earth does one casually mention that they have constipation? My body is also retaining liquid.

So while I have lost a couple of inches around my tummy the scales told a different story.

I haven’t budged a bit.

It’s time to eat some fibre! Things that come from a can are not a diet. Fruit, vegies, protein and NO CHOCOLATE are a diet! Well a way of living.

On the brighter side… I went to DFO today and went and brought a pair of size 18 jeans. So it’s official (and everybody knows jeans are the test – not much give there) I am down from a SIZE 22-24 to an 18!!!!!

Current Weight: 114 kgs
Goal Weight: 72 kgs
Only 42 kgs to go…

I am still having problems with my back. The doctors at the bariatric centre don’t think that the back pain has anything to do with my band.

My GP doesn’t think it has anything to do with my band either, just one of those things I guess.

My GP suggested rubbing the muscle pain stuff, which works but only temporarily.

I am still officially losing weight, but without eating properly I am not feeling great. I am lazy and can’t exercise because my back hurts. Which means that I am not losing weight the way I want to.
