All of the books I am reading about life after weight loss all talk about hitting a wall around that six month mark. So I guess I am completely normal! And speaking of normal, the mental health worker I have been seeing has deemed me normal enough not to see anymore. Hmmmm.... good thing I didn't tell her all about my evil plans to take over the world. I had been seeing her to help work through the reasons why I overeat. I know that I am definitely not cured and will struggle with this for the rest of my life. It is too bad I don't have access to an eating disorder councilor to talk too.
At seven months I can now eat about one cup of food at a sitting depending on the density. I eat around 1000 calories a day, sometimes a bit more if I have been exercising a lot. My gym membership is done for the summer, but I am still playing squash and doing a lot of walking. My biggest problem is still grazing. I am working hard to keep my eating to set times, but it is still a struggle.
I have now lost a total of 87lbs. That is the equivalent of Hunter, Cavan and two and a half blocks of lard. Seeing it really puts it into perspective for me:

| Hunter |

| Cavan- he sure isn't far behind his brother! |

| I have lost these boys plus those two boxes of lard. Feeling pretty darn proud today! |

Good for you!!!!
Kara.
I'm in absolute awe of what you've achieved. You look fabulous in the pictures you've taken lately - even if I think your smile always has been very special.
Being an addictive type of person myself, I don't think I would do very well with weight-loss surgery and then staying on a 1000 calory diet - I', afraid I'd be cheating every which way I could.
My hat is off to you!
Wow! That's a lot of weight lost when you look at it like that, congratulations!
Holy dude, that really does put it into perspective! Once again, awesome job!!
Awesome!! Good work!! I couldn't help but notice that your kids weigh the same as mine!! More or less. I think Damon might weigh more than Ayla, but he is at the 40lb mark! He is a little moose!! :)
