A really long time...
Jul 25, 2013
Well, I am finally back. It has been over a year since my last post. It has been a roller coaster of emotions and events. I was doing so good. I had gotten down to 155 and a "non stretchy" size 10 jeans-size small/medium shirts. Looking and feeling good. BUT...I was in a very bad place emotionally and could not eat hardly ever because of a nervous stomach. When I cared about eating, I couldn't keep it down. I was living over in Norway at the time to be closer to my son who had went to live with his father there. I ended up having to come back to the states without him and after a very painful breakup...VERY LOW PLACE :( Once I got back here, I was still feeling low, but I was able to eat. VERY EMOTIONAL and ate too much of bad things, started working over night shift, stopped exercising. I am ashamed to say I have gained back up to 203. I am wearing a stretchy size 12 jeans BARELY. My emotions have gotten better over the last year, and I have started going for my Masters degree. So now I am a full time student and working full time, doing anything and everything to keep busy so my mood doesn't turn sour again. I am leaving for Walt Disney World in Florida with my son who is here for a 5 week visit until next summer and my parents and sisters' families. We will be returning just in time for my son to catch his flight back to Norway on the 5th. I will be starting back to basics once we return. I will be really watching what I eat and keeping a food journal on the trip. I will control and stop my grazing habits. I know I have to change...I feel sick almost every time I eat no matter what it is now. THIS WILL CHANGE!! I WILL NOT BE FAT AGAIN!!! I bought a new scale, and about to buy a treadmill, and me and the guy I work overnight with are going to start working out at work. It can get pretty slow overnight, and there is time for at least a 10 minute workout a few times each night. I found a site that has 10 minute workout videos free online. It was on pinterest...dang, I wish I could remember the sight right now to post here. Anyway, I hope to get this unde rcontrol before it is completely out of control. i am scared....

My skin on my thighs are starting to get a little better now also, but that will probably get a little worse again now that I seem to be going down sizes again. I have been wearing this size for a few months now with no real changes except giving my skin some time to adjust. I have been very sporadic with my exercising to this point. I am trying to get into a habit, but with all the other changes going on in my world right now it has been difficult. I hope it will get better soon. I am not giving up on getting this exercise thing into a habit though

Fast forward to a couple of days ago. I went to a carnival with my nieces. One of them really wants me to ride with her, so I do. We ride a couple of things and then I see the exact same ride that I couldn't get on at the state fair. She really wants to ride it...I am VERY worried about not fitting. But I decided to try. I had NO PROBLEM getting up into the seat and fitting down into it.
I even had a little bit of moving room! I ended up riding it about 4x, just because I could! I feel GREAT!

Whoo Hoo...Oh yeah...Uh huh...
They really didn't do anything there, just weighed me, and took my blood pressure, then i went to a group session. That was interesting...That is the first time I have been in a room with others who have had the surgery recently. It was nice. I did ask the doctor if I needed to get a medical id and he told me that he didn't think i needed it. He use to work in an er and they didn't need to run a tube unless they were overdosing, unless very rare cases, inwhich the patient was awake first. He told me unless I planned to try to overdose(in that case just write the info on my wrist before i do it
) I don't need it. so that put me at ease, I have been worrying about it. I am not doing so well eating today. I didn't have time for breakfast, just drank water all day. Missed lunch, drank water. Finally at about 4 I ate the stuff out of a bean burrito from taco bell. I got home and ate 2 snack cheeses. I am going to try to eat tonight once more and drink a protein shake. Not a good day on the run for my nutrition.
