always remain true to yourself
Jul 07, 2009
you know I was just thinking people tend to say that "oh you'll get skinny and become snobby or conceided" and i have heard this on one or more occasion. And let me explain my frustration with this. I am who i am I am a very confident person even at my heaviest, i dont need to change just because im smaller, we always need to remain true to our selves. I know who i am i read all these posts about how some people loose friends because people dont agree with there choice of surgery and they learn who there true friends are. Well i made it clear to my circle of friends that i was doing this surgery and that they can like it or dislike it however they need to respect my decision, its funny that we find ourselves in certain sitations that really prove who our true friends are. I havent had any regrets at all for having this surgery trust me i have had my moments and i am still not eating alot but i am getting healthier and that is a blessing. For those hwo know me know i lost my mother two years ago and my life dramatically changed since that i have felt no prupose for life or evan everyfay things, so i didnt care about my health or anything for that matter and going thru family issues, money issues foreclosure i can honestly say that since my mothers death my life has been shit.... in that note i was sitting on my coach the other day (that i am currently paying for) and i thought to myself two days before my mother died while she was in the hospital (she died of complications of heart disease and diabetes) i had to explain to my mother that she was going to die and she was getting morphine and she said with a smile that she was ok with that and she was tired of fighting, she told me " I am proud to be your mother , and your the most beautiful thing in the world and to start your own life " that thought always runs through my mind. I mother taught me that evan when things get the hardest you have to believe in yourself.. I know i am a good person i know that i can be stubborn at times but with the blessing and beauty of my mother i am the women i am today and no one or anything can change that, So in closing it doesnt matter how small i get i know my true self and sometimes i think we loose ourselves in every day life that we need to stop and think " wow im here and i am blessed" so when a negative comment comes yor way just put your head up and smile to yourself because we all are beautiful and true to ourselves......

A WOW MOMENT AND VENTING
Jun 24, 2009
Well I just had a little wow moment,,, I just went to the ladies room at my job ( i work at a auto shop so its not that fancy lol but im used to it) and went to wash my hands and we have a big mirror in this bathroom and it took me by surprise and i turned and i noticed my stomach geting smaller and it kinda shocked me in a way becuse ive only lost 23.5 ponds since 5/18 and i really took a look and noticed it and ive been really depressed and gloomy these fast few weeks and that actually brought a smile to my face. I just thought i would share that.
OK now im venting
Ok i hope im not the only one that feels this way i need to get out of my head its not loosing alot fast but healthy, i know alot of people that have lost more thatn me and are doing much better on protene and water i jsut gota take a step back and think im... 23.5 pounds healther and lighter than i was and that is a blessing and i am off all diabetic meds as of last week YYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAH
