It's Been a while
Apr 15, 2011

So It's been a while since I have been on here. I am doing really good. I had an appointment with the nutritionist today and I am down 50lb from surgery a total of 70 all together. I am really excited. I can't believe it. But in my head I am still my chunky old self. I don't really notice the change as much as other people. I will say i went to fashion bug and I love trying on cloths. Everything I brought into the dressing room fit. I can't tell you the last time that happened.
I'm not going to say it came easy. The first 5 weeks were hell but It gets better and you feel better as each week goes by. I need to get back to the gym so I can exercise more of this weight off. But as I say slow and steady wins the race.
That's it for me! Thanks for reading

Progress
Jan 19, 2011
so I got my date and I am so excited. I can't wait to start this new chapter of my life. On the same hand I am so nervous. I don't know what to expect and I don't know if I can do it. I just pray I will do ok. I lost 21 before surgery. They said that that was ok because I was having healthy weight loss with no gaining back. I already went down to a 22/24 and probably could do a 20 in pants. Wish me luck. my surgery is 19 days away!

Blah

So I am having a bad couple of weeks with my food choices. Trust me the choices are still much better then before but not as good as I want them to be. Also I go to the nutritionist next week and i am scared I didn't loose any more weight. Grrrrr. I just hope I can keep it going and I am strong enough to do this surgery. What ever doesn't kill us right. I am also considering leaving my job of 7 years. Don't get me wrong I love my job. I love the kids I babysit like they are my own but I feel like my job here is done. The youngest one is in 1st grade now and I feel like I have done all that I need to do here. I have gone from being here for the kids to cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping errands and kids. I'm tired and I feel like with all of the physical changes I am trying to make in my life It would be a good move for me. Who knows. What will be will be right. Anyway off to my support group.....

Can I do this
Aug 30, 2010
I am starting to think Can I do this. I feel like I'm never going to loose the 10%. I know I want this but am I capable. Everyone is trying to be supportive but I just feel like I'm being selfish in my decision. My mom is sick and always has something else that comes up and I am the one that has to take care of her. What if I have the surgery and her cancer pops back up. Then what will happen. I am going to need my own time to recover and not always be able to give all my time to her. I don't know. On the other hand I feel like I should be able to do this. That this is a tool that is going to save my life someday. Oh who knows. Just a little rant for now!

Small Victory
Aug 23, 2010
So I went to meet with the nutritionist on Friday and when they weighed me found out I lost 3 pounds! I was very excited. 3 pounds isn't the most I have lost in one week but this is a whole new journey and I refuse to compare it to anything else! I didn't have a great weekend eating wise. One of my best friends is getting married and we had her bacholorette party so I ate a little more then I wanted to and drank a little more then I wanted to but all in all I did well. I managed to leave more then half of my dinner on the plate and eat no appetizers. I am trying.. Back to strict today. My goal is another 2 pounds by this Friday! wish me luck!

Slow and Steady
Aug 16, 2010
So best laid plans right. I couldn't get up out of bed to walk this morning. I did still manage to get up and out of my house by 6:30 am to go grocery shopping. I went to work for a bit and then came home. I ended up going for a 1/2 mile walk before dinner. Not so bad for my first day. Hopefully I can keep it up and increase it everyday. About Me
