So this past Friday marked 6 weeks since I had my surgery. Overall, I'm doing really well. The only downside to this week is that I didn't loose anything. Boo! But I have read lots of blogs about this, and it seems that it's really normal for my body to come to a weight loss stall. It's trying to adjust to the 33lbs it's lost so quickly. I most definitely have lots inches this week. My jeans are very lose on me. I had to get rid of several shirts because they were literally falling off my shoulders. I am shrinking and that makes me happy.
Food wise, I have eaten a lot of different things. So far, the only thing that doesn't sit well are the pintos and cheese from Taco Bell. I ate them because I was in a time crunch and needed fuel. Ick! They did not go down comfortably. The other thing weird that happened is that I drank some iced tea and it made me feel sick to my stomach. I think it was just too cold, because I drank some more 30 minutes after I ate, and I was fine.
Work has been really stressful, and I am seriously evaluating whether or not I should continue on as a social worker. It's something I am praying about. To be completely honest, if I could afford it, I would probably take a month off to look into other employment options, such as starting my own business. Anyway, this is another thing I am working through right now. It's not that I have a bad job--quite the contrary actually. My new body is just not handling stress very well. Anyway, I will most definitely share my thoughts on this later.
Time to get ready for church.
Peace, Love and Joy,
Rachel
