Feeling Good!!

     Life is getting better and better everyday!!  I have been at the same weight for a few weeks and get upset to see the scale not move but then I realize it is okay and only motivates me to workout harder and eat better.  I wish I could like the protein more but I do it and not as often as I should.  I eat and sometimes get sad because I really want more and can't but you know its not the fact that I need more it is that it tastes so good I just want to eat it.  And that my friends is how I got to be so big, overweight and unhappy in the first place.  So when I feel this way my husband reminds me of the fact that I am happy.  He tells me I need to go have it loosened so I can eat.  Which is funny I think I keep telling him not until I actually hit my goal.  Its nice to have his support and also nice to know he cares so much still after 10 years.  I have found a workout partner who just had the Lap Band by my doctor (well our doctor now), she is now 3 weeks into it and starting to walk and do some light weight weight lifting.  My advice to anybody who wants, is or trying to loose weight to find a partner who also is as motivated as you are because having a partner keeps you held accountable.  I will say this has not been easy but it has been the best thing I could have done for myself and for my husband to have a great job and insurance so I was able to get the surgery I can't thank him enough.
