April 2002

Sorry it took so long to update for this month -- my guy and I have been spending so much time together that I haven't even had the few spare hours I need to update this site!

As you can see, things are slowing down now. No more big losses each month. I am losing between 2-3 lbs. a month now and that might pick up a little bit now that summer is coming and I'll be doing a lot more outdoor activities, but I believe it will likely stay at this slow pace until I reach where my body is comfortable. My goal is still to be in the 160s and I believe I will get there, just slowly.

No problems with anything at all. I can eat small quantities of just about anything now. I do have a few bites of regular desserts now and then but I don't want to find out how much sugar I can tolerate. Some days it seems I can eat most of a regular yogurt which has on average 25 grams of sugar and be okay, and other days I can eat 4 spoonfuls of frozen lowfat yogurt which has about 15 grams of sugar and dump.

It's all a matter of experimenting still, even at 8 months out. But I am happy with this new way of life and the freedom it has given me!
