I find it odd
That during times when I think I've eaten way too much junk food and completely have NOT been watching what I eat that I somehow manage to lose weight.
Lately I haven't been concerned with what I eat. I just don't care. When I was in the hospital I told them I weighed about 245lbs because that is what I tend to weigh when I just eat whatever I want. Well a couple days out of the hospital I weighed myself and I was 238.6. Huh. Okay, so I hadn't been eating much since the surgery so that could account for the weight loss. I went about my life, eating whatever I wanted.
I've had a bunch of peanut butter cups lately and when we ate out I order huge, greasy burgers (probably not the best thing with a missing gallbladder but... so yummy) and fries. I figured that number would be heading back up to 245 pretty quick.
Except I weighed myself today with all my clothes on and I was 233.4.
Wait, what?!?!?!?!?
I've lost 5lbs in the last week or so. No way. It's not like I do any physical activity. Well I guess I did a bunch of walking on Monday after my doctor's appointment because I was on foot. I walked a couple of miles then took the bus home. Half the time I had to carry two overloaded bags from Target AND Jack with his back pack on. But still. I went home and ordered Dominos and pigged out (I was so freaking hungry and had the worst migraine that night).
I'm just a bit confused by my body. The pants I'm wearing are a size 22 which I've worn forever. In fact I've had these capris for like 8 years or something. It seems like forever. They've always been loose on me (as I like them) but they are so freaking huge on me I need a belt to keep them up now. Problem is I can't wear one because then the waist rubs on my incisions which are still tender. So I'm always hiking my pants up, lol.
And the shirt I have on is something I bought a few weeks ago online (it says, "keep calm and stay whiny" with a picture of the Serenity on it). Well I ordered an XL. It arrived when I was in the hospital so I tried it on after my surgery. I was still bloated apparently because it fit too tight and wasn't comfy to lounge in. Well I put it on today and with a little stretching (which I do with all my shirts when I put them on) it fits so comfy and it's loose on me.
So, um, yeah... my body is weird. Not sure if I should just keep doing what I'm doing or actually watch what I eat. I'm curious to see if I'll get below 230 because I've only done that like once before. I think it was last year and I got down to 228 which is the lightest I've been since I was pregnant with Meagan 13 years ago. I'd love to get down to my prepregnancy weight of 195. I know that's still obese but it's a lot less than I weigh now. I wore an 18 back then and could still shop in the regular dept. not the plus size one. My ultimate goal, though would be to get down to 145. 100lbs less than my average for the last few years. Even 160 would be good (the high end of healthy for my body type).
