A note from Katie!!
Hi all!
Katie asked me to post this for her. She is working hard and is really busy so this is what she's been up to:
How are you?? I'm doing alright. I've had a really, really rough couple of weeks and am trying to turn things around. This past weekend I finally broke down and just started sobbing. I cried for about an hour and a half. It was a 600 calorie snack that sent me over the edge, but of course the crying was about much more than the food. Some good news for this week is that I reached my weight goal, which means they're taking me off of weight gain and onto maintenance. It'll be a slow taper so that my weight doesn't drop while they're reducing my intake, but that's alright. I'm just glad that I won't have to eat so much food anymore. Pretty soon I'll be on family style where I get to dish up my own plate, but I'll still have to eat 100%. This week is family week, and my mom and Tim will be here Wednesday night. Family week lasts from Thursday to Monday. My mom and Tim have to fly back home Sunday afternoon, but I'm just glad they're coming for as long as they are. It will be really challenging because I'll be going on lunch passes with them everyday, Thursday through Saturday, and possibly Sunday. I'm not allowed to go to safe places like Subway or to order safe foods like salads. I have to order challenging food, including dessert and/or an appetizer. It's going to be freaking HARD. I need to go shopping for some new jeans while they're here also, and that's going to be hard.
I know she misses everyone. It sounds like things are going to get a little easier though and this is good. She's working hard and has obviously made some huge strides this week.
