Nine weeks and halfway to goal!

I'm nine weeks post op and officially half way to goal!! Last week I measured and have lost a total of 31.75 inches head to toe! I'm loving the progress and feeling great!

Sorry I don't have any pics to include but there are a few in this video I made over the weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94zduEYJTAc

I little background on the video... This time last year I weighed somewhere around 285. Hunting with my hubby was not enjoyable! He likes to walk all over "walk & stalk" as he says. Last year I could hardly keep up, got winded and whiny! This year is a whole new ball game! We went out over the weekend with my nephew (xander) and brother (chad). Hubby had me trekkin all over about two miles worth of hiking, ridges, fields, hills, creeks... I never got winded! I was still whiny, but that's b/c I wanted to be in a blind on my own and sit and wait! Anyhoo, the video is of my first kill. It does include the shot so if you are an ARA, don't watch!

Regarding food at nine weeks: well, it's been about the same for me the past month or so... Some days I can really eat like 3oz a meal and other times I get like three bites in and I'm done. Either the food doesnt feel good, doesn't taste good, or I just get full! I get a lil depressed occasionally when I can't eat, because there are definitely still days I wish I could eat a real burger or have some pasta! But I'm not there yet and not sure I ever will be again! Mourning food seems ridiculous to me, but it's very real. I mean really, who cries b/c they can't have a real cheeseburger!? (this gal) who gets cranky b/c they can't indulge in a big bowl of spaghetti!? (this gal) who gets so desperate for a cheese enchilada smothered in queso that she orders one removes the tortilla and eats melted cheddar smothered in queso?! (you bet I did) I've been Shopping amazon for anything resembling a tortilla chip in low carb form like soy chips or whatever.. Really craving the crunch and wanting to feel less guilty about having an old favorite...chips/queso or salsa... And pizza... Man I want pizza lately. We never even ate it that much but for some reason it sounds good to me lately.
Damn carbs have a hold on my mind I guess! Maybe it's true what Dr. B says... "they are as addicting as cocaine" and maybe I'm going through a little regression/withdrawal. Who really knows.
