Take back control

It was difficult but I succeeded to lose 20 pounds in the months before surgery. Unfortunately, I gained it all back since I had surgery 3 1/2 months ago. I pretty much spent the first 4 weeks in bed and even though I am progressing well, I am still moving at a turtle pace and am not burning many calories. Let’s not kid ourselves; I have also been putting bad food in my mouth! I would say that I am an emotional eater (happy or sad) and I have also been struggling with the medication with water retention and cravings back and forth between sweet and salty foods. I’ve been trying to eat healthy but often times, my energy level is too low and the pain is too high, so Larry cooks…. meaning we order take out!  Today I’ve had enough, it’s time to stop the rolling down the hill, and I’m ready to take back control of my diet and get back on track! I started talking to a dietician from Well at Dell and she helped a lot, giving me good tips to find my way back to healthy eating again.
