Support Group for March

Our March support group speaker was one of the psychiatrists. She talked about different eating disorders and gave us tips on working through our eating issues.

She gave us some recipes. 

We talked about using Pinterest for recipe ideas.

We talked about what to expect when we have our appointments with the psychiatrist. 

We had a question and answer time where if anyone wanted to ask a question they could and not just the psychiatrist would answer but people that have gone through the surgery and have experienced the issue that anyone had.

I enjoyed listening to her speak. Hopefully soon the plastic surgeon will be speaking. 

Next group is April 12th! Can't wait! That's also the day of my next nutrition appointment. 

March Nutrition Visit

Well, today was visit #3 to the nutritionist. She was the same one I had last time. She was very pleased with my progress and choices I have made. I've done everything on her list.
I'm down 16 pounds since my doctor's consultation and 12.2 pounds down since my first visit to the nutritionist. I'm super excited.
I haven't been able to do any exercise because I have hurt my back somehow(I don't have a clue how). But hopefully, soon I'll be able to do some exercise and maybe jump start my weight loss more forward.
We made my next appointment for April 12th, So I'm looking forward to what this next month has in store for me.
Doug has been so supportive. He's an amazing man and I love him with all my heart.
This month I shouldn't be eating out as much. My dad was in the hospital having knee replacement surgery and I was there a lot which meant a lot of eating out. I have to learn to prepare meals to take with me on those days. I'll do better with upcoming doctors appointments for him.

Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest.

February Nutrition Visit

February 14th, was my February visit with the nutritionist. A different one than the last visit.

I lost 4.6 pounds this month. That's pretty good :-)

We talked about my choices of foods and what changes I have made in my life.
And how I'm making changes in the way I eat. Sometimes it's hard and sometimes I fail.

She made some suggestions and I listened.

Moving forward, Hoping not to fall down

When I go out to eat, I try to eat things that are not fried. No pasta. No cream sauces. Lean meats. Veggies. I also usually like to ask for a to-go box as soon as I get my food. That way I can put usually over half of it in the box to take home for the next day for lunch or supper. I've cut my portions down to about a quarter of what I use to eat. It makes a difference.
Sometimes it doesn't always work out but for the most part, it does.
I'm trying and I plan to succeed!

Trust in the LORD with all your heart 

And do not lean on your own understanding. 

In all your ways acknowledge Him, 

And He will make your paths straight
