Maybe my husband should do a two and a half day liquid diet
every week. He dropped a lot of weight
and since I had to fend for myself, I lost some too. I weighed in at 387 pounds this morning. I am very thrilled to be out of the 390’s and
will do my best to not ever see that decade again. My husband’s colonoscopy this week went well,
but because they found two more polyps they want him to have another
colonoscopy in three years. While his
fasting helped our diets, I’m glad he won’t have to suffer through another
procedure too soon.
Now that he is back to eating solid food the goal for us is
not to revert to eating out for every meal or most meals. That has always been the goal. In order for us to eat more meals at home, I
need to help with the cooking. I’m not
telling you anything new here. From some
reason, I have stopped cooking. Rather
than dwell on why, I just need to start again.
Will I? That remains to be
seen. I will try this week. Also, another big help that I can be is to
not suggest eating out. Any time that I
give my husband an out (of cooking) he will take it. Since it is usually me who suggests the
outside food, I will try to cut back on doing that this week. Okay, I know I am using the term “I will try”
a lot here rather than outright saying I will do. It’s not because I am giving myself an out,
but that I know it will take effort to change my ways. It’s not realistic that I can flip a switch
and all of a sudden do the right thing 100% of the time. Oh whatever, let’s just see how it goes.
Congratulations on a 3 lb loss! That is a WIN and something to celebrate! More success will follow!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kaki! Actually, it was a 9 lb loss and I am motivated to add to it this week.
DeleteCongrats on the loss!
ReplyDeleteWhy not attack your behavior, set it up to make it HARDER to order out? Fill the house will the right groceries, then lock away the cash and cards so you can't use them. It's easier to stay in and make do, then! :)
Glad he doesn't have to go back in 3 years, but don't forget. My husband put off going back and ended up getting colon cancer - luckily they were able to remove it with surgery, but it's been 3 years already and he's still not 100%.
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting out of the 90s!!
Glad everything went okay with your husband's colonoscopy. I am usually the one that suggests foods too.
ReplyDeleteWell Done on your weight loss ... keep it going ... one step at at time
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
9 lbs is fabulous! Maybe just start cutting out a couple meals out a week and then each week cut out another one. Slow baby steps. I'm glad your hubby doesn't have to go back for 3 years.....doesn't sound like it'd be very enjoyable. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteExcellent news! I've been teetering on my plateau throughout fall & winter; couldn't tell you exactly what "flipped my switch" but just over this past week, seem to have gotten my impetus back (although I haven't approached scales yet - maybe next week!)
ReplyDeleteHope all is going well ....
ReplyDeleteTake Care
All the best Jan
