Weight Loss With the Sleeve

Weight loss with the sleeve is slow but steady, but it doesn't feel like that. I feel like I haven't lost anything but them I look back at my spreadsheet and see that it did. It just feels so slow sometimes! I'm still a bit over 200 pounds so I'm still "fat" and no one really notices that I got any smaller. I feel subtle differences but nothing absolutely major. I feel like once I get below 180 I'll be closer to being a "normal" person but that might not be until early next year.

You would think that eating the way they told me to and exercising more would speed up my weight loss but it doesn't always. I don't always eat exactly the way they tell me to but even when I do it doesn't make my weight loss speed up. Exercise usually does they opposite of what it should, I don't know if it's water retention or muscle growth but I never see a dirrect correlation between exercise and weight loss- although I know there must be.

Losing weight is like being in an iffy relationship. You never know what motivates them and you're just going with trial and error to make them happy. I feel so disconnected from my body- it's been 20 years and I still don't know what to do to make it do what I want it to... So I'm just trudging along, hoping to keep losing weight simply from a calorie deficit and some exercise. I'll feel better when I get under 200 and into "one-derland" (which better be soon!!)
