She's very, very sneaky and has managed to find food in unexpected places. I can't let my guard down for an instant. Mr. Quilting Bug isn't on to her tricks and whenever I'm out of town, she manages to pull a fast one over on him and get extra food.
Do you see the food in her bowl? That's actually a full portion for her. She gets the same amount 3 times a day. How she's not as thin as a stick is beyond me.
However, she is getting around better now that a little of the weight has come off. Her joints don't pop with every step she takes. I've also been able to stop giving her one of her medicines. Both positive side effects.
Of course, there are some negatives too. She's obviously not happy with the whole diet thing and isn't remiss in letting me know. She's cranky as all get up - except for those days she's on her happy medicine. This medicine is supposed to help alleviate any pain or discomfort she's having, but I'll admit I give it to her sometimes to give me a break. (Is that wrong of me?)
We started her diet on July 4th, 2010 and so far she's only lost 1.6 lbs. She needs to lose at least another 2. At this rate, it'll be next year before she makes it. I wonder if I can hold out that long. Please pray for us...
So as of today, Sam's new stats are...
- Starting Weight - 17.9 lbs
- Target Weight - less than 14 lbs
- Last Weigh-in - 17 lbs
- Current Weight - 16.3 lbs
- Net loss - 0.7 lbs
- Total Weight Lost - 1.6 lbs
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Romans 5:3-5 (NIV)
