Back to WW

Hello Friends

Tonight I went to WW after a two month hiatus. It was great to be recognized right away and all of the good wishes coming my way. The meeting was really nice as she challenged us to do a Victory Journal to overcome the negative thoughts that come into our minds when we do make bad decisions. I'm going to work on this all week. I've had such a long experience with guilt, shame and negative reinforcement all around me that this time I want to change those thoughts. Anyone else out there struggling with this?

I'm still at the 50lb. loss mark which I'm thankful for considering I've had almost six weeks of no movement. Today I had my five week appointment with one of the surgeons and she thought the incision looked good and when I look I think it also looks better. My hormones are still a concern as I have those deep fears in the back of my head that are legendary in the hysterectomy history books. Weight gain, whiskers, no sex drive and early aging seem to be what the websites post. I can say that I will fight this all of the way.

Let's all keep praying for eachother : ) Go Ladies CHOOSE HEALTH

Tuesday and three week mark

Hi everyone:
I thought I would make it to WW but no way. I'm going to have to lay low here until I'm stronger. Still tired and working on getting the body back to a state of healing and no pain. I taught at co-op today however feel quite drained. Yesterday I got down on all fours and did a few thigh lifts which felt pretty good. Three more weeks and I should be getting back to myself more and more. It's funny that I'm thinking about how much I want to go and walk at the mall. Ha
I've maintained the weightloss with almost 0 movement and for that I'm quite thankful. Talk with you soon

Hugs
Dawna

Back from Surgery (Kind of)

I'm sure you all want the gory details. Sorry still to gory to show. I'm feeling pretty good and with mom being here to help with recovery it sure has made it easier. I'm really enjoying the slower pace with family and the Lord. I'm certainly getting my appetite back which feels pretty good. I am longing for a lot of healthy cuisine that will assist me in my recovery. Thanks for all of the prayers and good wishes. I'm praying I will get to WW next Monday night.

I'm not exactly sure how much I'm down but I know it's a bit. It's all about habits and creating new and exciting ways to deal with stress and frustration. Food aint it : )
