So Excited!

 I finally broke 220! I have been in the 220s for what seems like forever. I stepped on the scale yesterday morning and I weighed 219.8. I wanted to post but I figured it was a fluke. I was getting ready for church and forgot to weigh before I took my clothes off. This morning I weighed again (in clothes) and I was 219.4. So not only did I really break 220 I lost a bit on top of that! Yay!

Six Month Surgery Visit

 My six month surgery visit was today. My six month anniversary isn't until the 26th, but we they did my visit a few days early. I am so frustrated. I have only lost 17 pounds in six months. I am struggling. She talked to me about appetite suppressants, but said they don't like to use those until at least the one year mark. I go back next month for an exercise visit and then I will see her again in two months. 

I am so frustrated. I know I have said that already, but I am. I knew I would have to work this journey and my plan, but I feel like I have struggled every step of the dad gum way and have so little to show for it! I am hoping for better results next month, but who knows what it will bring. 

Therapy feels like it is two steps forward and one step back. We are working on stuff, but the more we work the harder it is to fight the urge not to eat my feelings. 

So I guess that is it for now. Hopefully my next blog will have better news or at least be more uplifting.

Not Giving Up

 Just because one event doesn't go the way you want it to doesn't mean that God's not in this. And just because you have a God-given call on your life does not mean everything is going to go the way you want it to or be easy but God's in control. - County Rescue

I was scrolling through Instagram and found this quote from one of my favorite TV shows. I needed this reminder. God is still with me. He is still in this. Does that mean that things are going to be easy? No, but He won't leave me. He is still in control even though it feels like I am wandering through life alone right now. I sure wish things were easier but I am not giving up.
