6 weeks on the losers bench!

The last 6 weeks has really flown by quickly!!  I can't believe that in 6 weeks I have lost -38 lbs!  I am finally starting to notice a little in some of my clothes...finally had to put away 2 pair of shorts and a dress that is a little too big! How exciting!!!  I am super duper pumped about that..and supposedly today must have been a pretty good day because several people at church and at mom and dads said they could tell that I had lost some weight..so here's a pic:

Honestly I don't see it...maybe a little in my face..that you can't see because of my phone..please ignore my dirty room..lol..and the bra hanging on the door knob!!

So lets talk about head hunger...i read about it and I heard a lot about it...I honestly haven't had to much of a problem with it..but this passed week I did experience it some and while shopping at Walmart late Thursday night..I really felt sad!  I guess you could say that I was mourning food!!  I was there forever and I found myself buying more deli meat and yogurt just because it was something I could control and eat!  I mean technically I can have whatever well..within reason..but I need so little food to feel me up that I really have to be careful and make sure that I am eating the right stuff, so that I am getting enough protein, etc..etc..etc!!  I have never really been a junk food junkie or anything....but I guess I just miss eating whatever I want..when I want..instead of thinking it all through so much!!  Making sure that I don't eat 30 mins before or after!!  I am also a bit tired of eating so much meat!!  Sadly I have never been a huge meat eater and this was one of my biggest fears about having this surgery!!  I can honestly say i've proud that I have lasted this long with no problems!  I am sure all of this will get better..im just feeling a bit down!  So excited about what the next six weeks will result in!
