Ok.. I'm on day 4 and have lost 11 lbs for some reason... Well I'll take it!! ... The first two days were rough but I bought some campbells cream soups in a green box and I bought some jello mousse.. and had protien shakes.. 3rd day I cooked Tilapia and had tuna and eggs.. This morning day 4 I had ham and eggs.. then a protien shake.. I wait a 1/2 hour before and after meals to drink...My pouch seems to be still working and I am relieved!! I have walked everyday about 3 miles which has helped alot.... sweat sweat sweat...

I have been struggling and have put back on close to 30 lbs.. I am going to try the 5 day pouch test because its getting desperate..I cannot... do you here me?.... cannot go back living the way I was before surgery... I will not let this take a hold of me and bury me in food and shame again. So here I am world! Lord take me and keep me...I am going to lose this weight...

Ok all its been two years now and I have crawled back up to 215lbs.. gained 17lbs since my last post...Going on the pouch test tomorrow.. It has been an amazing journey...but now i've got to get back down to business. Been feeling physically tired and have got to get back on the protien.. I always need to check in here..I waited far too long to check back... Hope everyone is doing well..I have to take care of me....

Hi everyone!

I am down a few more lbs... I am official just in ONEDERLAND!!!! YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!  198lbs as of today...I felt the effects of not getting in protien and it sucked!!! Very tired and caught a virus...yick! But I'm back in the saddle again! Giving a shout out to all my OH friends..I hope all is well with yous!!

Love Yas!

Well I did the 5 day pouch test and I have to say I am thrilled! My weight is 208lbs today. I had mainly protien and did not drink with my meals and yup my pouch is still working just fine... I bought alot of canned salmon and canned tuna and frozen talapia fillets.. Also picked up some glad steamer bags and i salt and pepper dill and some sprays of butter on 4-6 oz of fish.. voila!! its not hard to get use to again and I feel on top of the world again.  Of course with all that protien constipation sets in but I down a bit of fiber and i'm good to go..getting In control of my food really makes me feel, well grateful and apprecative of things.. I am not wallowing in self pity and how horrably I fail.. we all fail even on a daily basis but I have to remmber to pick myself back up and continue on.. Its not easy the second day of the pouch test.. carb withdrawl does give you headaches and crankiness.. but if you perservere. It will work!! I resolve to stay away from any restraunts for the month of september! So far so good!! Thank you God for all good things!

Just when you think its all over. Its not! I'm still in the game and though its a slow battle, mostly uphill I will continue to climb! I am 212lbs. I have not been that weight in a very very long time. I feel really good. I continue to struggle with an excercise regime, but of course I am on day 2 of yet another attempt. The total gym and wii fit yoga! My muscles are a bit stiff and I can hold my head high because today was a good day. I have stayed on the 5 day pouch test and made a wonderful low carb pumpkin sausage soup. Delicious! So little by little I will reach my goal.
Here's a poem that inspires me maybe it can inspire you too:

Little by Little.
1. One step and then another,
And the longest walk has ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mended;
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One flake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.

2. So the little coral workers,
By thier slow and constant motion,
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant-dark blue ocean;
And the noblest undertakings
Man"s wisdom hath conceived,
By oft-repeated efforts
Have been patiently achieved.

3. Then do not look disheartened
O'er the work you have to do,
And say that such a mighty task
You never can get through;
But just endeavor day by day
Another point to gain,
And soon the mountain which you feared
Will prove to be a plain.

4. "Rome was not builded in a day,"
The acient proverb teaches;
And nature by her trees and flowers
The same sweet sermon preaches.
Think not of far-off duties,
But of duties which are near;
And having once begun to work,
Resolve to persevere.

I am struggling! My dearest friend bought me a beautiful slim tinkerbell journal for my food.. I got it today what a surprise.. It made me realize I am taking myself and my lifestyle for granted..I am praying: Lord I give myself to you please help me to get on track with my food! I have a confirmation coming up florida in the fall.. I need to do this for myself.. I am worthy..

I just went off the diet and stopped losing..I am 226 as of this early morning. I am ashamed of myself..I just took my vitamins and drank 23 grams of protien and am going to plan out my meals for tomorrow.. This is such a hard path to follow.. I have been involved in many changes these last two months and put myself on the back burner... Homeschooling brownie leader and involvment with church.. All these things I love and enjoy but I let them over take my health and priority.. Any words of encouragment would be great! I am getting back on track today.. I have a size 20 dress to wear to my confirmation mass on Mothers day.. I was hoping it would be a bit big by then.. It fits fine now but I could be more comfortable.. I walked 3 miles with my son on wednesday which felt great! I am so glad I am not 292 any longer but boy its so easy to get off track.. I will NEVER be that Weight again! I missed all my OH friends and hope everyone is doing well..
Sorry I have been away so long...
