Well I disapeared from this site for a long time, probably a couple months or so. I thought I was ready to restart my diet after maintaining/slowly losing for a while but life didn't work out that way. I was back and forth the hospital getting tests all the time and getting surgery (gallbladder), but now other than my gluten intolerance (which seems to be just a wheat allergy now) I am according to doctors...healthy and 'good' at my weight. Though I have reached a 'healthy' weight I would like to lose the last 48lbs (or less/more depending on how I look) for aesthetic reasons. So I guess my mini goal is fixing most of my health problems. At least I hope they are fixed...I have a follow up in 2 weeks so heres hoping they didnt find out anything bad. I didn't gain weight while I was away, Ive actually lost 5-8lbs lol...even when I'm maintaining while sick I lose weight, which I'm hoping means I won't have issues losing if I'm actually trying. I was actually embarrassed at first to come back having only lost 5-8lbs but ppl have told me its better than having gained on an off diet time period so here I am posting on this site once again, wish me luck
